FAQs: Your Questions Answered
E-POPS
What are E-POPS?
E-POPS are a tasty, new form of energy chewable for people who love to play outdoors. Unlike traditional gummy energy chews, gels or bars, E-POPS are sticky-free, fumble-free, and wrapper-free. Packaged in a recyclable cardboard tube, E-POPS are designed for use in our refillable, handheld dispenser.
What ingredients are used in E-POPS?
E-POPS use a proprietary formulation that we've developed along with our U.S.-based manufacturing partner. Ingredients include: Sugar, Maltodextrin, Natural Flavor, Magnesium Sterate, Citric Acid, Sodium Citrate, Potassium Citrate, and Red Raddish (color).
What flavors do E-POPS come in?
Our first flavor is a vibrant Wild Berry which carries just the right balance of fruity sweetness and zesty sharpness. We're crafting several other tasty flavors that we plan to introduce soon. Feel free to contact us with your flavor suggestions.
Do E-POPS contain electrolytes?
Yes, E-POPS contain potassium citrate and sodium citrate, both of which are electrolytes.
Do E-POPS contain caffeine?
No, all E-POPS are caffeine-free as of now. However, if you're interested in a caffeine option, please contact us as well may offer it in the future.
What does "Fast Chew" mean?
When you first bite in an E-POP, you'll experience a mild crunch followed by a burst of flavor. After a couple more bites, the E-POP practically melts in your mouth. That means no excessive chewing or pieces getting stuck between your teeth. It also means getting our proprietary energy-boosting formulation into your body faster.
Where are E-POPS manufactured?
E-POPS are manufactured here in the U.S. using the best ingredients we can source from around the world.
When will E-POPS be available?
Currently, we’re refining our proprietary formulation and adjusting our innovative dispenser design. We anticipate shipping to start in September 2024.The initial production will be limited so lock in your pre-order now.You will not be charged until your order ships.
Refillable Dispenser
How does the dispenser work?
Our patent-pending, refillable dispenser eliminates wrappers going to landfill because there are no wrappers to start with. The stainless steel body is palm-sized with a snap-tight cap that easily opens with a thumb flip for one-handed use. Suited for right- or left-handed people, the standard dispenser holds 8 E-POPS, the mini holds 5.
What is the dispenser made of?
The dispenser body is made from 304 Stainless Steel which is food grade and corrosion resistant. The flip-top cap is made from Polylactic Acid (PLA) filament, a natural thermoplastic polyester that is derived from renewable resources such as corn starch or sugar cane.
How do I clean the dispenser?
Simply wipe down the outer body and flip-top cap with a clean, damp cloth. If you'd like to clean the inside, simply fill it with warm water, swish it around, and empty. Then let the dispenser air dry or use a clean cloth.
Can I use the dispenser for other things?
Our patent-pending dispenser is made for E-POPS usage. Though, it can also be used as a universal pill dispenser, especially the mini version that neatly fits in toiletry bags.
Sustainability
How do E-POPS help our environment?
Unlike existing energy chews, gels, or bars, E-POPS come with a patent pending, refillable dispenser so there are no empty wrappers to end up in landfill or as inadvertent litter should a wrapper blow out of your hand. Plus, all of our product and shipping packaging is curb-side recyclable. Understanding the road to “total sustainability” is a long one, we’re trying to do our part to help. Eliminating unnecessary wrappers and using recyclable packaging is a first step that has an immediate, positive impact. We’ll continually challenge ourselves to move further down that road and welcome your thoughts.
Are E-POPS really wrapper-free?
Yes, we've completely eliminated useless wrappers by packaging E-POPS in cardboard, recyclable tubes (available in 16- or 80-count refills). Keep them in the tubes until you need to transfer them to your stainless steel, refillable dispenser. When the tubes are empty, either toss them in your local recycle bin or, better yet, reuse them to store teas, spices, or other dry goods.
What do you mean by "curb-side recycling" for packaging?
That means you can simply throw all product and shipping packaging in your local recycle bin for curb side pick up. Easy as that.
