“But some damn fool kid brings Orville’s Froggi-Zerii Scarfing Powder and shares it with teammates, that’s what happens. But what do they know?” laments local confectioner Mr Levy. “They ignored Bunnie’s fruit basket and my Strawberry Surprise all for a cheap energy boost out of a box.”
Health professionals and parents are concerned, yet the busy coach is none the wiser.
As long-time Orville critic Dr Allende Benton points out, “Sugary treats such as Froggi-Zerii don’t contain any of the other nutrients athletes need. And eating this crap just before a competition may provide a quick burst of energy, but it’ll leave them to ‘crash’ or run out of energy before they’ve finished their big event.”
Orville spokesperson Tayna Van Wey defends the product. “Orville has been criticised before over energy supplements, but they are all extremely legal in the export markets in which they are retailed. Froggi-Zerii Scarfing Powder is a safe alternative for the domestic market. And kids love it.”
“All the season’s training to qualify for Tri-County is now at enormous risk,” muttered Mr Levy, throwing his hands in the air.
