Does not dissolve
I ordered this as a cost effective alternative to the Liquid IV packets I've been getting at Costco, which run about a $1 per packet/serving when not on sale. I sometimes get so engrossed in my work that I forget to stop for normal things like food and water, and it'll be 2pm before I've even realized it. Flavor wise, it's not bad. And it seems to serve it's purpose in keeping me slightly better hydrated than water alone so I will finish the bottle I bought, but definitely not as good as the Liquid IV. Therefore, I won't be purchasing this product again.<br />I have 2 main issues, the first is with the product, the second is with the seller/company.<br />1 - it does not dissolve fully, even after hours of sitting and shaking, there is still visible powder floating in the water. I used less powder than was recommended for a full size bottle of water, and still, not all of the powder would dissolve in to the water. I shook the bottle as vigorously as I dared without hurting myself.<br />2 - When I received my order, it came with this little card inside saying "send us an email with your review for a free gift". I followed the instructions, to a t, thinking maybe the solubility issue was isolated to this one flavor and it would be worth trying other flavors. Well, I never got my free gift. I did get an email saying, well now that you've done this part, can you also write a review on amazon and send us proof that you've done so before we send you the free gift? It irks me when companies add additional conditions on an offer. So be advised, that "free gift" offer you get with your purchase, will not be as simple as the card makes it sound. (I did check both the front and back of the card they had enclosed with the free offer, there's no asterisks or fine text to indicate there would be additional requirements)<br />Personally, I'm sticking with the liquid IV.
