FAQs

  • Our goal is to have them ready at some point this summer. Currently, we’re finalizing our proprietary formulation and making some refinements to our patent pending dispenser. We should have an exact date over the coming months so be sure to join our community and be one of the first to know.

  • While we’re still working on the final pricing, we can say for sure that it will be competitive with the cost of existing gummy chews.

  • Unlike existing energy chews, gels, or bars, BigBang! EPOPS come with a refillable dispenser so there are no empty wrappers to end up in landfill or as inadvertent litter should the wrapper blow out of your hand. Plus, all of our product and shipping packaging is either compostable or recyclable. Understanding the road to “total sustainability” is a long one, we’re trying to do our part to help. We believe that eliminating unneccesary, existing wrappers and using compostable and/or recyclable packaging is a first step in having an immediate and positive impact. We’ll continually challenge ourselves to move further down that road and welcome your thoughts.

  • Unlike existing gummy chews which stick together, BigBang! EPOPS have a mildly crunchy outside and fast chew inside which means there’s no mess or stickiness. Yet, they pack a similar powerful punch and taste great. Plus, there are no empty wrappers to end up in landfill or other places that hurt our environment.

  • We’re still tweaking our proprietary formula but know that BigBang! EPOPS will pack the same powerful punch as existing gummy eneregy chews. But that’s where the similarities end because unlike gummy chews, BigBang! EPOP are sticky-free, mess-free, and waste-free because they don’t have wrappers which end up in landfill.

  • BigBang! EPOPS are mildly crunchy when you first bite into them. After that, they practically melt in your mouth. Not only does that eliminate the excessive chewing you have with existing gummy chews, it also gets our energy boosting ingredients into your body faster.

  • Our first flavor will be Mixed Berry, though we have several other tasty flavors in the works that we plan to introduce soon after BigBang! EPOPS are available. By joining our community now, you can even let us know what flavors you’d like to see next.

  • Our formulation and manufacturing partner is located here in the U.S., and has over 50 years of experience.

  • Our patent pending dispenser will be made of lightweight, yet durable, food grade plastic. Its handheld, single action operation means you can consume-on-the-go. That’s right, no more stopping in the middle of your favorite outdoor activity to rip open a wrapper because there are no wrappers, or mess, or fumbling. The dispenser also has a locking mechanism to prevent unwanted dispensing. This mechanism will eventually be tested with children so we can officially say the dispensesr has a “child-resistant” lock.

  • BigBang! EPOPS will be available in bulk refills that come in compostable and/or recyclable packaging. You will have the option to subscribe for recurring refills or simply order them on an as-needed basis.

  • So you can be one of the first to know when BigBang! EPOPS are available. You can help influence what comes next by participating in surveys and/or being part of a user testing group. Oh, and we also plan to offer members of our community awesome promos and even some freebies when we launch.

  • In Marin County, California, the birthplace of mountain bike riding and mecca for people who love to play outdoors and also care about our environment.
