Nuun Sport Electrolyte Tablets Strawberry Lemonade

Nuun hides behind environmentalist. They got rid of the score line to save money (their process is easier now.) People online are advising you cut a score line into the tablet. They sell PLASTIC wrapped powder sleeves for an uncharged (~33% per serving) so it's about the money, not the environment. They likely use the same machine that emergenC uses to produce their tablets. This saves money by not building a new process. EmergenC is used as needed though, not routinely so it's OK for emergenC, but nuun is a routinely used product for hydration (multiple times a day.) Because of the uncharged, the difficulty splitting tablets (the people who say it's easy, don't try all the flavors. Some are very difficult. I started getting nerve pain lasting long AFTER splitting the tablets by hand. Im middle aged... I've used knives, pill splitter etc. Nuun removed the score line, over sizes the tablet, uncharged you ~33% per serving (or in total as that's how percentages work) for the convenience of not splitting (isnt it born in powder form? Don't you have to press it into a tablet?) They sell tubs of powder (only two flavors (3-14-25) but the value isn't there either. It's less plastic, but they sell convince at a premium and tell the consumer We WaNt To SaVe PlAsTiC WaStE! To top it off, the plastic tube the tablets fit into is now part of a law suit for selling empty space occupied by a plastic spring that could have been topped off with product. They're saying it's deceptive packaging and hides the sound of empty space thus fooling the consumer as there is no other purpose. I think the law suit is a bit much (they label the number of servings after all.) MY point is, if they cared about the plastic, they wouldn't use a plastic filler spring, and extra plastic walls. Nuun is motivated by money, not world betterment. Don't forget it. Buy a different product until nuun wants to compete with a better product and quit lying about it's motives. I bought the most heavy duty pill splitter (pill mill (aluminum, steel)) and it doesn't fit, so it crumbles and I need a funnel... put your environmentalism where your mouth is and sell the powder tubs at value LIKE EVERY OTHER DRINK MIX COMPANY. And reduce the plastic footprint caused by filler space. Put three more tablets in there instead of a plastic spring, and uncharged 30% (to account for three more servings) if it's the environment you care about and not simply THE LOVE OF MONEY. You know them by the fruits of their labor, not by their words EDIT: many of the tablets break in half easily making them not fitting easily a very minor issue. Not the same experience from the beginning. Maybe only some tablets are tuff, or maybe nuun reformulated their tablets. Hopefully it's a change.
