Energy Fizz Sticks from Arbonne |
What Are Fizz Sticks?
Fizz Sticks are basically a healthy energy drink. They provide an alkaline form of caffeine which basically means you get the energy, but it's more sustained and doesn't cause the caffeine crash that you sometimes get after your double espresso has stopped 'working'.
Anyone who knows me knows I love my fizz sticks. Every morning I have one in my Green Ogre Drink and I usually have another fizz stick on it's own in the middle of the afternoon.
Why Should a Fizz Stick be in an Emergency Kit?
Well firstly there should definitely be more than one! The reason why I believe they are vital to most people goes back 12-15 years when we were without power for 4 whole days (we're usually very lucky and rarely lose power for longer than a couple of hours). I remember that the house we lived in didn't have gas as there was no lines in our street at that time. This meant we had no means of cooking ... or making tea and/or coffee.
In those days I was a 10 mug a day tea drinker and my next door neighbour lived on coffee - we were very cranky! We drove 30 minutes to a newer McDonalds as they had their own generator just to get our hot beverages of choice!
Part of your emergency survival kit should always include 3 days worth of water for everyone in your family so you can simply mix your fizz stick with water and let caffeine induced crankiness stay away so you can concentrate on more important things!
What's in Your Emergency Kit?
Apart from water you should always have a first aid kit, flashlight, lantern, matches, chocolate (this article explains why), playing cards, radio, cash, important documents.

Whether you live in an area that experiences earthquakes, cyclones, blizzards or other natural disasters or whether you don't you really should keep an emergency kit as you just never know. Weather patterns seem to be changing globally so be prepared to keep your family safe and in all seriousness do keep a stock of fizz sticks on hand - they're available in four different flavors.
I have never thought of Fizz Sticks as a staple for my emergency kit. But now I think I know differently. Thanks for the great tip and for making my survival kit more complete.
ReplyDeleteCaffeine would definitely be an important part of my emergency kit and these Fizz Sticks sound like the perfect way to add it. I would be more than cranky without caffeine.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Mouse. Need that caffeine, and what a handy and portable way to guarantee that in an emergency is with these Fizz Sticks. Having lived along the eastern Georgia coast for several years, hurricanes were (and have been) a very real possibility, so I agree it's best to always be prepared. Thanks for your timely advice, Lou.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness I've never heard of these! I don't think I'd need them, but honestly I wouldn't mind giving them a try. I used to drink a lot of coffee years ago, and ended up just cutting down, but not intentionally, it just kinda went that way. These might be handy to have on hand anyway cause I'd have a few grumps around here without their coffee!
