I hate the new packaging. It is a PITA.

I usually take it with a coke or something caffeinated. Helps with the taste and the extra caffeine helps with the headache.

He had been putting it in BC powder packets for years so he could just get tweaked in front of kids nonchalantly.
Most of the folks that used in public went with the old Vicks inhaler.

Had many high production days tweaking at work. I always kept it in one of those little two gram bullet vials, and went to the bathroom, where I did the simultaneous snort and foot flush. Pretty sure that method was perfected in a Dallas gentleman's club. Probably the infamous Million Dollar Saloon, before they had the upstairs.

I can't find a link to one of the most effective TV commercials ever--Dusty Rhodes selling Standback powders.

"Do you know pain like I know pain" as the video shows some wrestler banging Dusty's head into a turnbuckle.

Pressing it into a pill would really change it that much?

yes, yes it would

its shtick is being "fast acting" which happens because its a fine dust like powder that instantly dissolves to be absorbed into the body

put it in a pill or gel cap and it takes 10-15 minutes for it to dissolve and release into the body

but i agree with everyone thats its a very strange way to package it. they should put it in little paper straws to eliminate all the hassle and mess

GOAT. Coupled with Gatorade, it may be undefeated on a Sunday morning after shenanigans.

I don't think they still make it, but Alka Seltzer used to make a Morning Relief product that was even better when you plopped them in a Gatorade. Had something that calmed your stomach, aspirin and caffeine to knock out the headache, and the Gatorade to replenish your fluids.
