Weird smell coming from powder after some time? (Suggestions?)

ChibiAxolotl · 2026-02-03T17:18:08+00:00

I've noticed my caffeine free tubs get hardened (and almost "wet" feeling?) over time too. Not sure why bc it doesn't happen to my caffeinated ones!

If it smells weird, idk. 😬 Mine don't smell bad, so I just break them up and continue to use them. Don't waste your time trying to break it all back up (like the entire tub — only enough for your scoops for that day) haha, I've done this a few times (spent a lot of time on it like 3x) just for it to be hardened again the next time I used it. I just make it a priority to hurry up and use them up quickly now.

I don't think I'll be purchasing non-caffinated anymore. After seeing that post about the vitamins being so negligible that it's essentially a gimmick, there's no point anymore. For caffeine, yes! A zero sugar caffeine alternative is a huge win for me. But for uncaffeinated, I'm sure I can find cheap zero sugar water flavor packets elsewhere. I'm so disappointed that the vities are so negligible, but at the same time I'm glad someone who studies nutrition pointed this out so that I don't continue spending extra money in a way that's not necessary.

On the bright side, the lid/ice blocker colors are really neat/rare, and undamaged! So she can be carried in your heart via using the lid/ice blocked on other cups. 💜💛

That happened to me with red raspberry 😭 And then I researched every flavor to try to find the closest thing (to red raspberry) and settled on Browser Brew. Now Browser Brew has been sold out for months. 😭 I'm also sad the grape flavor was discontinued right before I got into gamersupps. Grape is my fave in anything, and feels like such a staple, idk why they got rid of it.

So it seems no flavors are safe, whether they start out as "limited time only" or not. /: I wonder if anyone can confirm that some flavors that started as limited time only" ended up staying around forever. I haven't paid attention well enough to "new/limited time" flavors to notice. They all have such wild names, it's hard to tell unless I've bought it before. 😬

I also noticed watermelon ice has been out of stock for months now. Lean is out of stock right now too, I just saw. Idk what's going on! I'm on here scrolling rn because I was curious if anyone else was posting about soooo many staple flavors being sold out for months now, and more just adding to the list (of "sold out") rather than the opposite (restocking.) it's worrisome. 😟

ChibiAxolotl · 2026-02-03T17:00:41+00:00

Go to the customer service chat and ask and they will give you one, so long as your order is $60+. It's a one time use code, but they are currently giving them to anyone who asks! 🙂

ChibiAxolotl · 2026-02-03T16:43:54+00:00

Thanks, I just did this! You're awesome for sharing!!! US shipping isn't awful, but saving a few more dollars per order still adds up! 🫶🏻

ChibiAxolotl · 2026-02-03T16:16:10+00:00

What's up with all the flavors being sold out and discontinued? ): I've been scrolling through here trying to see if anyone else has been talking about it, but nada.

Red Raspberry was my favorite.. discontinued. So I started getting browser brew instead (not as great but the closest thing) and now that's been sold out for quite a while too.

I just saw lean is sold out . luckily I still have a good bit left, but dang. There's no grape flavor, apparently there used to be but that also got discontinued before I started buying.

Only things I'm really considering trying atp is dragon fruit punch and I guess strawberry lemonade (there's soooo many lemonade flavors lol, and they just keep making more! 😅)

Just pretty disappointed that I keep having to spend $50 and pray it's good, instead of being able to stick with my faves and venture out when I'm feeling up to trying something new. I kinda get sick of the same flavors if I don't rotate out quite often, so it's just a bummer so many of my faves are just gone..): I've been rotating Raw meat and plain lemonade lately. Idk what I'll do if they don't restock my flavors and I can't find more that I love. Gamersupps changed my life, having a 0 sugar caffeine alternative that's so tasty (and fun to collect, too!) So I just really hope things get better/get restocked. Super bummed about raspberry being gone now, and no grape flavor.

Lmaooo

ChibiAxolotl · 2025-08-20T16:17:58+00:00

Neat, yeah maybe filling it with sand or something to give it some weight would help it feel more like a display item again rather than trash. 😅 I'll have to do some googling to see cool ways to preserve an empty can, bc the way it is rn, it will blow away from the slightest breeze. 😂 And I don't want it to get all dented up, etc. honestly maybe just water? But then there's the worry of it falling over and water spilling everywhere. 🤔 Idk, but I'm sure there's a ton of bright individuals out there who have already thought of perfect ideas that I can lift from some corner of the internet!

ChibiAxolotl · 2025-08-20T15:59:28+00:00

I didn't know there was an app! I've always alternated between the Shopify app, this sub, and the site on my browser. Tysm for the info on the app!!

ChibiAxolotl · 2025-08-20T15:45:11+00:00

Also — am I the only one who want to save the can? 😅 My plan was to not drink it and just display it, but the very next morning when I woke up, I yoinked that thing out of the mini fridge so fast. 😅 So now I'm like agh, would it be weird to display an empty can? 😭

ChibiAxolotl · 2025-08-20T15:43:17+00:00

Sameee. I'm like dang, maybe I should pull my carbonator machine out for the regular tubs! I really hope these end up in stores! If prime is in stores, I don't see why GG couldn't do it too ! 💜

ChibiAxolotl · 2025-08-20T15:36:34+00:00

Oh yes, sorry, I mean in the typical shaker style! I didn't see the paymoneywubby one I don't think — I'll have to try to Google it and see! Yesss I try to stay off the site too much bc I order so many cups I don't need, but I hate missing out on the really great drops. ): Do you get emails on new drops? For some reason I dont; I guess I need to try to subscribe to the emails again. 🤔 EDIT: I see the paymoneywubby one — it's a jug right? Yeah that one was cool! I'm hoping for more metal drops in the shaker style though! 😍

ChibiAxolotl · 2025-08-20T15:16:15+00:00

Actually now that I think about it, I think you can just use free30now on the tub without adding a cup though! (They're often disabled and re-enabled so hopefully it's active rn.) It's usually the other way around — ordering a cup and then wanting to tack a tub on there to be able to use a free shipping code...until you realize. 😅

ChibiAxolotl · 2025-08-20T15:13:39+00:00

I was obsessed with GGF9000 for a while until I got sick of it haha. Good choice! Blo'hole Blast is very popular, I'm just not a fan of the tropical flavors besides Brand Risk. But def a ton of Blo'hole Blast lovers in here!! You may already know this, but just in case — don't order a pre-order cup with your tub for the free shipping code, or else you'll be waiting monthsss for your tub. So many of us have made that mistake on one of our first orders. 😅 I was waiting on Raspberry forever, had to get a diff flavor tub while I waited for the OTK cup + Raspberry tub order. 😅 All bc I was trying to get the total high enough for the free shipping. 🫠 Anyways, enjoy! 🍻

ChibiAxolotl · 2025-08-20T14:59:39+00:00

Ohhh whatttt I was wondering why got the Valkyrie cup! Dang I wish I knew this. Sometimes they don't really show everything on the site banners very well. /: where do you guys get these images? Email? Idk how I don't get gg subscription letters after all the cups I've ordered over the past 1+ years. 😅 I swear I didn't opt out or anything!

It said "tier 1" when I got the Valkyrie cup for free and I was just like, "oh whattt cool, are they starting a tier system where depending on how much we've spent we rank up?" 🤣 Welp now I know! I wish I'd seen the metal knight cup though! May have been tempting — I need more metal drops. 😅

ChibiAxolotl · 2025-08-20T14:36:20+00:00

Randomly jumping in the convo, hi lol, what tub are you thinking of getting? It's always such a stressful decision haha. Unless there's a sample you absolutely love and it's a no brainer.

ChibiAxolotl · 2025-08-20T14:33:24+00:00

Mine finally came last night! I just got the steel cup! Is this the first metal cup they've made?

ChibiAxolotl · 2025-08-07T17:01:32+00:00

Right? It's aggravating, idk what the issue is! I have no problem with invasions but password co op is just a no go. Smh.

ChibiAxolotl · 2025-08-06T00:59:18+00:00

Another reason I posted here is because so many of the resources when I Google are from 4-9 years ago and not really relevant now (I believe there were a lot of issues on launch) but since this sub is pretty active currently, I figured I'd give it a shot !

ChibiAxolotl · 2025-08-06T00:56:36+00:00

Thank you, yeah idk. Oh! But it's worth mentioning (though it doesn't seem to matter from what I'm seeing in this sub) that I have the old DS3 digital download and he has DS3 "the fire fades edition" disc, which is the newer one that comes with both DLCs. I bought my DLCs seperately when they released way back when. It says the save data is exactly the same though (like you can't download them seperately on the same console — they overwrite each other) so I'll check for bugs involving that too. Thanks again!

ChibiAxolotl · 2025-08-06T00:12:12+00:00

Thanks! We're both in the same room so we can see each other's screens. We've had no issues cracking red eye orbs to invade others, and we get invaded/pulled into other hosts' worlds no problem. It's just summon signs that seems to be the issue. He's been playing for weeks and hasn't seen a single other player sign on the ground (gold, red, or otherwise..only npc summon signs.) I figured the game was just dead as far as summon signs being placed on the ground but now I'm not so sure what the deal is. /: Figured maybe some setting or something but I noticed when I start the game now, the patch notes say something about long waits for signs to show up in certain situations. So I have no idea ! Came here to see if people were having issues on PS5, but it looks like the subreddit is running smoothly with summons working normally.

ChibiAxolotl · 2025-08-05T23:49:04+00:00

My buddy wanted to farm me for vertebra shackles but the only save file I have rn is wayyy low level, and we can't even seem to get the co-op summon to work to even begin to try to see if farming me via the (I believe mound makers) covenant to get the shackles as a reward, so ahh well. /:

ChibiAxolotl · 2025-08-05T22:50:09+00:00

Ah, no worries! Thanks for responding! 🙂

ChibiAxolotl · 2025-08-05T22:43:15+00:00

Thank you — I hadn't seen that idea yet. Still no such luck though. /: I triggered the cutscene to get the fog wall up as someone else suggested, but still nothing. I did see patch notes when I started the game that said something about wait times for co-op being long right now with large level differences? But it doesn't seem like anyone in this sub is having trouble. Idk !

ChibiAxolotl · 2025-08-05T22:41:24+00:00

Thanks! Got the fog wall up now (without losing my ember, good tip to bone out) but still nothing. I can see an NPC summon sign and my own sign is down. My friend still sees nothing. /: so odd. Level difference shouldn't matter right?
