Abbott training

November 16th will go down as a fun day in HealthKart history. We had specialists from Abbott, sharing their insights about Abbott products like Glucerna, Ensure, Prosure, Mama’s Best and everyone’s favorite – Pediasure.

To be honest, we didn’t quite expect the session to be so involving. It started with a silly question – what is nutrition? We didn’t know that this simple question would open Pandora’s Box and give us more information than we ever imagined. Lots of terms were shot to and fro, with incisive questions from our Customer Service Corps. I must say, that on at least 8 occasions, we successfully confused out specialists! Being, true and thorough professionals, they got back to us with convincing answers.

Being Health Fanatics ourselves, we are not an easily convinced lot. Our barrage continued with both relevant and obtuse questions, ranging from constituent information, to flavors to whether fish oil is the only source of DHA to EFAs, to EPAs, to PUFA, MUFA and whatnot. We also had a debate on a popular kids drink (that all of us had while growing up) Vs Pediasure. It took them like 15 minutes – but they managed to convince us that if we had consumed Pediasure as kids, then we would have been way smarter than we are.

An involving discussion, usually ends with a consensus. Ours was so involving that we ended up with thirst, followed by consensus. The Abbott specialists pulled free samples out of thin air and suddenly we were sipping Glucerna & Mamas Best. Surprisingly, the white looking liquid (in both cases) tastes good. I’m considering adding that to my morning coffee. Or to my bowl of corn flakes.

Fancy a taste? Show us some love by dropping in a comment. You might (just might) get a free sample. It’s time for push ups now
