[pct-l] Water is Soooo Boring

[Ernie Castillo]

Before you try zipfizz -- which is marketed as a dietary supplement -- read the Supplement Facts on the label. I thought it was a typographic error, or something wrong with my eyes, when I saw there is 41677% -- yes, forty-one thousand six hundred and sixty-seven percent -- of Vitamin B12. There's a caffeine kick as well -- 100 mg of caffeine from "natural sources." I agree about the over packaging. I have a hard time using or giving away all of the empty plastic vials.  I buy it by the box at Costco but only use it on certain bicycle rides.
