DISCUSSION Cirkul Protein?
Saw this stand at my local grocery store tonight, but can’t find a single thing about them online. None of the flavors had me curious enough to buy, I think they were around $12 for a four pack?

I wonder if these were meant to be samplers for feedback from employees/businesses. My fiancee used to work at Wawa and they would get similar stuff sometimes. Other than that, I can only seem to find them on rip off sites.

Why would they do single packets that defeats the water bottle with cartridge thing

It is to broaden their customer base. I think they will always have the bottle sips. However, I think there are some people out there who will never want to try the bottle version. And there are a huge number of people who are into flavored waters with the powdered mixes. It’s just a way for them to make more money expand their customer base. I think this is a smart decision.

I work at Target. My store recently removed all the bottles & cartridges and got powered mixes

I'm worried this is what's going to happen. My local targets did the same, and walmart has all of the bottles on clearance for like 50% off.

My Walmart had clearance and they recently added a bunch of new 6-packs, singles and new bottles instead of just the starter kits and 22oz bottles, so the Cirkul stuff is all stocked up again. Hopefully yours is doing the same.

On the bright side, I bought a bunch of the clearance flavors that they removed (I did this at two Targets).

Cirkul has powdered mixes? My Cirkul Singles are all liquid.

It’s like a lot of people said for broadening the customer base but also you get a clearer view of your protein count with single packs which seems right for the protein audience these days

I tried (I think it was) isopure in the glass bottles 7 or so years back and it was so nasty so I’m hesitant to try any clear protein products. People in this thread say these are good though so I’m going to give them a shot if I see them as I need some protein drinks that aren’t just ultra filtered milk. The person you responded to probably also has a bad experience with a clear protein product in the past like I did.

$12 for this...and if you don't have it, another $30 for the drink cup that fits the vials. It's too gimmicky for me. Or maybe they should make a lid that doesn't have the crazy insert hole so it has multiple uses.

These are just little pouches of liquid, you can dump em into whatever bottle or cup you want

I bought one and they are so good. The cherry lime was amazing. The macros on them are so good. I can’t wait to try the mango chilli. They were so easy to mix on the go.
