I really had a blond moment recently & only my runner friends will truly appreciate the ridiculousness of it all.
As endurance runners, you all probably know about Nuun Hydration products. Well, I'm always searching for on-the-go hydration that doesn't upset my tummy, isn't too sweet, but does what it should do. Hydrate. I sweat alot, so I really need salt on my runs.
A friend of mine suggested I try Nuun. I bought a cute little bottle of lemon lime. Portable, easily carried in my belt, didn't take up much space - so far so good.
I couldn't IMAGINE why anyone would like these.
I got home and threw them out. Then called my friend and told her how awful those were.
She was shocked - she loves them & couldn't imagine why it was so awful. We laughed a bit about it & decided, well, we all like different things - I guess that's why they have so many things on the market. Left it at that.
A few days later I talked to her again, still puzzled at how she could possibly like them. I described why I didn't like them....
"After 5 miles in the heat the absolute last thing I would ever want is to have to chomp up a chalky lemon limey tablet. It was like eating a pack of tums all at once."
It then dawned on her that ....
What I didn't realize about Nuun is .....you have to mix it with water. I thought they were chewable tablets - not mix ins. I chewed the stupid tablet without mixing it in water!
I guess I learn my lessons the hard way ;) I am entertainment for my friends that's for sure!

I did not bat an eye at this post..I think Nuun is nasty and I have had it mixed with water! lol
ReplyDeleteHope you like it with water next time. :)
I'm with Running Librarian, I think Nuun tastes like complete crap and I also had it mixed with water.
ReplyDeleteBut I still giggled.
Ahhhh, as a fellow blonde, I can truly appreciate this story! I may or may not have done the same thing... But I agree that even mixed with water, Nuun just isn't my favorite.
ReplyDeleteyeah... don't get your hopes up, it still tastes like crap when it's mixed in water!
ReplyDeleteLOL! I saw where that was going! :) But sadly everyone is right, it doesn't improve that much even IN water. Glad to read you are still at it!
ReplyDeleteGosh, didn't you have any side-effects from eating it straight like that?
ReplyDeleteOk, thanks, that was hilarious!
