ordered a GALLON PAIL of Ascorbic Acid Powder ( Pure Synthetic Vitamin C - made in China goodness ! )

i originally bought ascorbic acid by the pound. then kilogram ( 2.2 lbs ). and now gallon ( 8 lbs ).

kilo lasted me about a year and a half. at the same rate this gallon should last 5 years, which is the shelf life of Ascorbic Acid.

it doesn't really go bad at 5 years it just loses potency overtime but it's still 95% or so potency at 5 years.

the pricing is something like:

$16 for pound ( $ 1.0 / ounce )

$22 for kilo ( $ 0.6 / ounce )

$35 for gallon ( $0.3 / ounce )

so there is good saving if you can actually use 8 lbs, but according to my calculations - i can.

i will give half of the 8 lbs away to friends and family and consume the remaining half at 1 gram per day rate over the course of 5 years.

the assholes kept begging me to share my ascorbic acid with them when i bought it by the kilo and i did but reluctantly. now i will be able to give them as much as they want and still have enough left for myself.
