nuun’s “U” hydration tablet won BevNet.com’s “best of” award for best tablet/powdered beverage.
Having been in the beverage industry myself, I can say that BevNet’s award program is a paid entry program, meaning each brand has to pay to submit their products, so not every brand is represented in their annual contest.  nuun was up against Zym and Zenergize, but oddly (in my opinion) Propel, Crystal Light and some of the other major beverage brands didn’t bother to enter that category.  nuun probably would have beaten them anyway…just an observation.
