Taste our electrolyte candy before anyone else
Starts 4pm. Then free catering and drinks at The Abyssinian, in a restaurant booked out just for us.
Save your place at the sensory trial
Why: late in a long run, sweet gels and powders can be hard to stomach. I'm making an electrolyte candy to try to make that easier. It has a clean, neutral lime flavour, you hold it in your mouth rather than mix it into a bottle, and it comes in a bullet shape and a square. It's made from sugar, electrolytes (salt, magnesium, potassium and calcium) and lime flavouring. It's still a prototype, and this trial is how I find out whether it actually works for people who have done the long efforts.
What: you'll taste a few small pieces, score them on a short sheet and tell me what you noticed.
When: Sunday 1 November 2026. Starts at 4pm. From 5.30pm, free catering and drinks (alcohol 18+) at The Abyssinian as a thank you. Vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free options available. Finished by about 7pm. You can leave after the tasting if you need to.
Where: The Abyssinian, 277 Racecourse Rd, Kensington VIC 3031. Open in Google Maps. Google Maps may say it's closed. It's normally closed on Sundays, and we've booked the whole restaurant for the trial.
What's in it for you: you're one of the first people to try it, your scores shape the recipe before launch in February 2027, and the catering and drinks are on me.
How it works: sign up today. You'll get one confirmation email straight away and one reminder on Friday. That's all. Friends and family are welcome for the catering; just add them below.
