Heat tested GUs
This is what comes of doing four loads of laundry at a time.
Happily those little GU packets are pretty sturdy. The question is: Should I still eat them? I’m know I’m not going to find the answer on the FAQs section of GU’s website. And I don’t quite feel up to a “Hi, this is going to be a strange question, but…” conversation with the GU people.
I think I’ll eat them as long as they’re still GU colored. That should be a good indicator, right? Time to get a clothesline.
I’m working out at the Nueces 50 this weekend. Come and say hi to me! (I have a nice gel for you.) ;)

I done that before and think taste actually better than “pre-heated”.
I’ll keep my fingers crossed.
I think I’ve eaten Gus that have been laundered several times. After sitting in my shorts pocket during a three hour summer run. You’ll be fine.
been there. I’m not sure I used them afterwards, but it’s quite possible. I’m sure it’s fine…
This is sort of my wheelhouse. If they have vitamins in them, the vitamins may degrade a bit. The maltodextrin may get partially degraded to maltose and glucose. The difference is negligible.
Awesome! Thank you for that.
