Airborne Power Pixies
Great idea, poor execution. Airborne Power Pixies are designed for kids who may not otherwise be all that keen on taking vitamins or supplements. Being a kid at heart, and not wanting to test anything health related on a geuine specimen, I tried these out myself.
The taste was just horrible. I’ve used the adult version a time or two, and they’re palatable as far as medicine goes, but these taste far worse. That is so odd to me; you have to make things taste good to get a kid to not pitch a fit. They could care less about artificial sweetners, non-imported herbs, no artficial colors, etc. And for most parents, when it gets down to it, they could also care less if it means having a healthier child. Maybe you could use these to threaten the little creatures into eating right, and solve a couple problems at one time.
Not recommended. If you’re worried about lil’ Johnny, the Flinstones have been making effective vitamins forever. And teaching him to wash his hands will go a long way in preventing commonly spread communicable diseases.

They are also being sued because they promised to cure diseases without testing by the FDA. Big no no!
