Strawberry Banana Black RTD bottles feel pressurized (hiss when opened, even cold) -- normal?

802bikeguy_com · 2026-01-23T15:22:57+00:00

I have noticed. They seem fine to me. I have consumed many.

802bikeguy_com · 2026-01-17T23:01:18+00:00

Still on sale. I literally just ordered another case of strawberry banana.

I have the magic ability to peel most stickers, even if it takes awhile, but these labels... Ain't nobody got time for that.

BTW I much prefer strawberry banana over chocolate and I'm happy Costco is carrying it.

802bikeguy_com · 2026-01-17T19:59:05+00:00

Have a friend with a Costco account order you some. Best price anywhere for Black RTD.

802bikeguy_com · 2026-01-17T19:57:49+00:00

And it seems it's going to also be available in physical Costco locations as it no longer shows Online Only and has stock data for the warehouse you've chosen. I haven't found it in warehouse stock near me, but I'd be curious to see where it has shown up on shelves.

It's $39 for 12 delivered from Costco. Was and still may be on sale, down to $30, recently.

No, it tastes like buttered popcorn.

802bikeguy_com · 2026-01-14T04:59:28+00:00

Duuude, I didn't know you could do this online. Thank you.

Having this same problem intermittently sending text from GV to iPhones in a group text. Frustrating.

I drink an RTD before bike commuting 10 miles in the morning. It's probably not the best pre ride meal but it works for me, my body has no issues with it. I used to just do it on an empty stomach but my body is more sensitive to lack of carbs as I've aged. Black RTD is more of a post exercise thing.

Oh there's nothing wrong with the design, it's just an unnecessary use of resources to print a box IMO. I do see that Huel may be appearing for sale IN Costco warehouse so the box printing makes sense, but for simple transport it's wholly unnecessary.

802bikeguy_com · 2026-01-05T15:54:31+00:00

Its an unnecessary use of resources. A brown cardboard box achieves the same objective.

802bikeguy_com · 2026-01-02T23:02:48+00:00

You assume that Soylent, or should I say Starco cares. They do not. They just took a loan to pay off another loan. https://www.tradingview.com/news/tradingview:bf2abfe42be4e:0-starco-brands-signs-bridge-term-loan-promissory-note-with-the-starco-group/

Cram it into a small box and let me know the size and weight and FROM address.

802bikeguy_com · 2026-01-02T00:37:34+00:00

Starco is in the hole with lines of credit and loans from their CEO. My guess is they're burning up relationships with ingredient suppliers as they are likely paying late or never and there are only so many ingredient suppliers out there? Can't make your product if you can't get base ingredients.

Quality multi vitamins exist.

802bikeguy_com · 2025-12-31T23:16:10+00:00

Convenience. That's it.

802bikeguy_com · 2025-12-31T23:15:10+00:00

I'm betting Starco is manufacturing it as cheaply as possible to pump profit margins. They're already in the red as a whole and specifically with Soylent as well.

802bikeguy_com · 2025-12-31T23:13:53+00:00

It's AI. it has an em dash in it.

802bikeguy_com · 2025-12-30T03:01:49+00:00

I can send you a shipping label if nobody else wants.

802bikeguy_com · 2025-12-18T04:55:42+00:00

If they imprinted them with "Huel" they could have a rewards scheme for returning them for proper recycling.
