How can we forget
…and moving on?
It’s too early, Bee. Grieving takes time…
Whinging repeatedly is not one of the recognised stages of grief!
I’ve been buying original exclusively since early 2016 and infact I’ve only started on v3 this week after buying 16 bags of 2.3 last year. Yeah it does taste different, more malty and less artificially sweet than before. But I like it and the choice was this or nothing so I’ll certainly take this.
For me, the flexibility to change the taste of the Huel products yourselves – even H&S – kind of nullifies peoples gripes with taste. Yes, V3 Original is markedly sweeter than before, but it’s still a pleasant enough drink in its own right and easy to tone the sweetness down. Same like when a small band of people were griping that V3 chocolate had ruined their lives even without knowing what chocolate actually tastes like. An easy fix for them to find a chocolate taste they like but no, the world had ended. Times change and products evolve. Huels growth since V3 came along would suggest they made a good decision – so we all have to move along with the times too.
WIth regard to “mixing and matching” it would be great if you got a bulk discount no matter how many bags of black or regular one orders. Currently you get a lower discount for 5 bags of black and 5 bags of regular compared to 10 bags of the same product.
I would suggest that - at a minimum amount of 2 bags - it is possible to add any powder you want, no matter whether black or regular and no matter what flavour. Just treat the question whether it is black or regular like the question what flavour is added. For every bag one uses you could grant a fixed percentage discount on the rest of the products that are ordered. What I want to ask you is treat all ordered products equally and extend the discount to all the other products that are ordered - the bigger the order the better it is for you, so I think this would justify a different discount policy.
Thanks for the suggestion, there’s definitely a number of different ways such a system could work. As I’ve said before it’s hugely complex and many people want slightly different iterations of a similar idea, so it would hard to keep most happy. However, never say never and thanks for suggestions!
