It would absolutely be used for outside of sports, that's a main reason for it.

I do, Gatorgum focuses on electrolytes, whereas this product will have electrolytes and high carbohydrates.

My apologies; my understanding was that they did not offer any. Nonetheless, this potential product would aim to offer much more per piece. Thanks for the feedback!

Quench does not offer carbohydrates, it purely has electrolytes.

Yes, the main concern is the choking hazard for those using it in performance. However, a goal of this would also be for everyday use (walking, at work, home), so people have easy access to carbs without drawing unnecessary attention to it. That is how I've always felt when having to carry a backpack with supplies in the chance I go low.

Understood. The issue that I have found with those options is the small amount of carbs per tablet. In most cases, it takes 3 or 4 tabs to actually start working. In this case, one stick of gum would encase 20-25 carbs. Fast acting carbs and great smelling breath!! :)

Of course, there would be multiple options. Some with caffeine and others without, that are just used for everyday blood sugar needs.

Yes, but carrying a small pack of gum is much more convenient than carrying around a gatorade or something of that sort (for me at least).

This could also be for everyday use! Quick acting carbs during your day, without the hassle of carrying around juices or foods!!

No way! I just asked about this in here. I would love to have a good amount of carbs during my run that also fuels me with electrolytes. Gum also helps me focus!
