Feedback•Education
•Tons of questions about the types of sweeteners use d in all of the products•Everyone was very shocked to learn that MM is lacto se free•About ½ the people in attendance had never heard of MM•Lots of questions on how our product compares to ch ocolate milk•People need to sample many flavors to find their fa vorite – it’s amazing that people strongly HATE one flavor but LO VE anotheramazing that people strongly HATE one flavor but LO VE another
•Set-up•While the huge metal bathtub was very visually appe aling on race day, it wasn’t the most functional. Exhausted athl etes actually had a hard time bending over so low to pick up a bottle . We had a hard time reaching into icy water to fish product from s uch a deep container. Something taller and more shallow might be more functional.•More give-aways like sweat bands and stickers would have been a huge hit with this crowd
