Electrolytes On the Go

Four things decide whether an electrolyte product travels: weight, what else it needs, whether it survives a bag, and whether it copes with temperature. A tub of powder fails three of those. A glass bottle fails all four.

Individually wrapped solid formats do well because they need nothing else, weigh almost nothing, and are stable at room temperature in a car, a desk drawer or a backpack.

Ready-to-drink bottles — easiest, heaviest, most packaging.

Single-serve powder sticks — light, but they still need a bottle and water.

Effervescent tablets — compact tube, still need water and time.

Chews and lollipops — no water needed, no preparation, no fluid provided.

Commutes and traffic. Long flights and dry cabins. Warm offices and back-to-back meetings. Physical work and shifts. Festivals, matches, markets and long walks. Days out with children. In every one of those, a shaker is the wrong tool.

A lollipop carries electrolytes and flavour. It does not carry water, and it is not a medical product. Keep drinking water through the day — that part has not changed and no format changes it.

COUP is designed for exactly this: a triangular electrolyte pop that lives in a pocket. The Monthly Move pack comes with the COUP Move Bag so a handful of pops travels with you. See the packs.
