Yes ok, you can all stop laughing, I at ethe de greaser they gave out at the end of the ride.
They gace a bag of freebies containing a bottle of water, water bottle and what I thought was a sis gel, which I put in my pocket.
I later took it out, ripped the top off with my teeth and ate some and it was disgusting, I looked and it was de greaser!!
I spat it out, rinsed my mouth out and drank lots of water.
I went to the paramedics and asked if I was the only dork who did this, apparently not there were 4 before me all admitted to hospital!!!
NO lets see, what do you need after a 200km ride, a sis gel or a stupid de greaser in exactly the same design packaing as the sis gel?
The paramedics took pics of the both sachets and said they would have to raise it as a health issue to ensure same does not happen again!!
They told me the contents were highly cncentrated washing up liquid basically so I guess I will be crapping bubbles later [8D]

Well done, I wondered why the lady with the megaphone was shouting "don't eat the degreaser........."
I may have succumbed to the same thing if I wasn't such a fussy guy and wanted to know what flavour it was so I read it....

"Don't eat the degreaser" LOL. Well, it would be LOL if it wasn't so bl**dy dangerous. I'm glad I studied the packaging - like hevipedal I just wanted to know what flavour it was.
For a situation like this you need Dom Joly. He's your man for standing in a car park shouting "Don't eat the degreaser" through a megaphone.
Hope those sent to hospital are OK.
well, yes <i>and</i> no......but mainly no.

As well as feeling sympathy for those who ate the degreaser, commiserations to the poor b****r who had a puncture about 1.5 miles from the finish as we turned off the common down into Bridgend [:(]0
