    Default Good things come in tubes...

    Just got back from my 4 day BP trip from Front Royal to Harper's Ferry.
    2 things that really made it better.

    1.Nescafe single serve tubes - Dump three in a mug if hot water and enjoy. Even better - Nescafe sent samples and BOGO coupons to shave the costs.

    2. Propel fitness water in little tubes. I get bored with plain ol' water unless I Am really thirsty and Crystal light is too sweet. The Propel tubes, however, really worked out well. 1 tube to 32 ozs.
    Helped to give me a few vitamins/minerals as well.

    Anyone else got anything in a tube that works well?
    .....Someday, like many others who joined WB in the early years, I may dry up and dissapear....

    Honey sticks!...they come in flavors, are quick energy, can add it to tea, and also put on wounds...

    I kinda like it, although changing the spelling of one particular word completely changes the meaning of the thread's title

    Speaking of tubes....does anyone know where you can get Gatorade single packets like the Propel ones? Looked in Wally World and other supermarkets and can't seem to find them.

    I like the caffeinated flavored mixes, which I've found are placed in the tea and coffee aisle in the supermarket.

    Tomato paste. And right beside it, garlic paste. Although that's a lot of garlic!

    I never would have thought I could enjoy instant until I tried those sealed single tubes (I also got my first batch free).

    I mix one regular and one decaf to get the right strength, with just the perfect amount of caffeine.

    I'm not a fan of crystal light either, but I must say their lemonade is REALLY good.

    I remember Mom buying astronaut ice cream for our Christmas stocking one year... she was pretty creative. I should see if they still make that and get some for my little guy.

    They do still make it. Last time we saw some was at a Nature/Outdoor Center. I also just googled it, and found a lot of sellers.
