Gummies were my go-to for a while until I left some in my car during below-freezing weather and had a frozen-together mass as a result that was kinda hard to deal with in my hypoglycemic state. :X Gushers present the same problem, but since they come in those tiny packets, it's easier to cram down a whole mashed-together serving of them as a single mouthful.

I take it from one of your earlier that you were also diagnosed when you were two? High five! Or, you know, not...lucky us. :/
:-)!!!!!!! Much respect to you :-)!!!! Some serious thought over here about switching to skittles for their lack of freezing and melting :-)!!!!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤙🤙🤙

On Decalibron? Above or below the trailhead? Is that legal?

Ha! That would be impressive. Nope, NY and that s**t hole of Kansas.

I like Trader Joe's Fruit Jellies because heat and cold don't do much too them and they're reasonably cheap. Honey Stinger Packets work great too, but they're pricey.

Enough already!! Let’s all just agree that any state that isn’t Colorado is a s**thole, all flatlanders are feckless buffoons, and move on to some useful dialogue.

Not true. The parts that are flat are technically West Kansas. Not many people realize this, but the original route for I-25 was along the Colorado and West Kansas border.

I’ll have to try those fruit jellies. Skittles are easy enough to buy when I realize I’m running low on emergency hypoglycemia supplies since I have yet to find a convenience/grocery store that doesn’t sell them, but I could do with some variety in my potential cavity sources.
