I've emailed them asking them if I could buy a gallon container but alas, no response.
Even more fun is stopping at a water stop on the local MUP and finding 10 used GU packets laying on the ground. I don't get it - if they pack it in, and they're actually *lighter* after using them, why can't people shove the empties back where they came from?
