PG in Mio energy drinks

[Renrav]

I found out something interesting at Wal-Mart today. I was waiting in the checkout line and saw one of those new Mio energy drinks, the concentrated stuff that you add to water. Just out of curiosity and boredom, I picked one up and read the ingredients. To my surprise, third on the list was propylene glycol. The only other main ingredients are water, citric acid, and caffeine. Maybe I should try vaping it!

Okay, I'm totally kidding, I'm sure vaping this would be a bad idea, but I thought it was an interesting find. Now I have some more information for when someone says that e-cigs are made with anti-freeze.

From here:

Here are some common foods that contain propylene glycol: certain mustards, food coloring, artificial flavors, certain chips, certain soy sauce brands, fried onions, certain strawberry and chocolate syrups, certain icing, canned coconut milk, certain salad dressings, certain ice cream brands, maple flavored bacon, certain juices, certain sodas, certain cake mixes, certain chicken bullion brands, fast food burgers and dipping sauces, certain yogurts -- and the list keeps going. After only 10 minutes of research I was able to find over 1,200 food items that contain propylene glycol. And not all of them listed it as an ingredient. For example, a food's ingredient list may include "artificial butter flavor". The butter flavor is made with propylene glycol, but since it came into the factory pre-made and was added as an ingredient in the process of another food, that manufacturer is not obligated to list sub-ingredients.

So yeah, a lot of things we eat have it.

I've vaped it...lol

Had an almost dead atomizer and a whole lot of curiosity. It wasn't too bad, though I wouldn't recommend it hah.

Thanks for taking that leap before I could ^ . Yeah I love when people ask me about PG but all I can say is that it's in foodstuffs. It's good that most people know what Mio is.

LoL! Did it give you the same flavor? Or did it taste burnt? Did you also give it a full squeeze out of the squirt bottle? Haha, not gonna lie, I'm a little tempted to try it. Gotta find some older attys.

I noticed this about the Imitation Vanilla Extract (the clear one) at the store part of Cracker Barrel restaurant. I asked in another forum if it could be vaped. I was only joking, but now I want to try.
