Frequently Asked Questions
Will the pieces melt or get sticky in a hot car on a summer road trip?
GIN GINS are a chewy ginger candy that holds its texture well at typical car cabin temperatures. In extreme direct sun above 110°F they will soften slightly, so we recommend tossing the bag into a cup holder or center console rather than a sun-baked dashboard.
Are these allowed in carry-on luggage at TSA security?
Yes, GIN GINS are a solid food candy and are permitted through TSA checkpoints in both carry-on and personal bags, which makes them a reliable motion-sickness option for flights, cruises, and train rides.
How many pieces come in a 3oz bag for a multi-day backpacking trip?
A 3oz bag holds roughly 15 individually wrapped pieces, which is enough for a long weekend of dosing. For week-long trips, most hikers step up to a larger 6oz bag or the Lemon variety for variety on the trail.
Do I need refrigeration on a camping trip?
No refrigeration is required. GIN GINS are shelf-stable thanks to the natural preserving qualities of ginger and the wrapped format, so they can live in a backpack, dry bag, or car glovebox for weeks.
Can I share these with kids who get carsick without worrying about choking?
The chews soften as you chew rather than snapping into hard shards, which makes them easier to manage than brittle hard candies. For very young children, we recommend sitting down and supervising while they chew.
Is one piece enough for a choppy boat ride, or should I plan to chew more?
Most sailors and cruise passengers chew one piece at the first sign of queasiness and a second piece 20 to 30 minutes later if conditions worsen. The individually wrapped format makes it easy to pace yourself on long passages.
Will the ginger flavor overpower the taste of a nice outdoor meal?
Original GIN GINS have a balanced sweet-and-spicy profile that pairs well as a post-meal chew after grilled or spicy food. If you want something more neutral to finish a delicate outdoor meal, the Mandarin-Orange or Lemon variety is a softer option.
How does this compare to acupressure wristbands for motion sickness?
Wristbands work through pressure points and have no flavor or calories, while GIN GINS deliver a measurable dose of real ginger with a pleasant chew. Many travelers carry both and use ginger as the active relief and wristbands as a backup layer.
Are these easier to pack than ginger chews from the health food aisle?
Yes, the individually wrapped format means you can toss a few pieces into a zip pocket or daypack without bulk, unlike brick-style chews that crumble and need to be resealed. They are designed for travel specifically.
Will the candy hold up if I shove it in a hydration pack on a hot hike?
Inside a hydration pack insulated from direct sun, GIN GINS hold their chewy texture just fine. If your pack runs hot, keep them in an interior pocket near your back panel rather than against the bladder.
I'm nervous about trying a new candy on a cruise, what if I hate the flavor?
GIN GINS are available in six flavors, so you can start with the milder Lemon or Mandarin-Orange before committing to the bolder Original or Spicy-Turmeric. The individually wrapped pieces also let you share and sample within your travel party.
Do these work faster than a motion-sickness pill I have to swallow with water?
Many travelers prefer GIN GINS for that reason. There is no water needed, the ginger starts working as soon as you begin chewing, and the individually wrapped pieces can be taken discreetly the moment the waves or turbulence hit.
What if the bag rips open in my backpack and gets everything sticky?
Each piece has its own wrapper inside the outer bag, so even if the outer bag tears the chews stay protected. The wrappers are also tightly twisted, so a single ruined piece will not coat the rest of the bag.
How do I use GIN GINS for the best nausea relief?
Chew one piece slowly and let it soften in your mouth rather than biting down hard. The ginger releases gradually as you chew, and most people feel relief within 5 to 10 minutes. For ongoing nausea, repeat as needed up to a few pieces per day.
Can I take these on an empty stomach?
Yes, GIN GINS are commonly chewed on an empty stomach for morning sickness and motion sickness. If you are particularly sensitive, start with a smaller piece and let it dissolve slowly to avoid any ginger heat on an empty stomach.
How should I store the bag after opening?
Reseal the bag with the built-in clip or transfer pieces into an airtight tin. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Properly stored, opened bags stay fresh for several months thanks to the natural preservative qualities of ginger.
Are GIN GINS safe for kids and older adults?
Yes, GIN GINS are safe for most ages, though the chewy texture means very young children should be supervised to avoid choking. Older adults frequently use them for digestive comfort and motion sickness on cruises and road trips.
Do GIN GINS contain any common allergens?
Original, Lemon, Mandarin-Orange, and Spicy-Turmeric GIN GINS are free from the most common allergens and contain no peanuts, no dairy, no gluten, and no soy. Only the Peanut-Ginger variety contains peanuts, so always check the label if you have an allergy.
What comes in the bag when I order?
You receive one 3oz stand-up pouch containing roughly 15 individually wrapped Original GIN GINS chews. Nothing else is required to start using them, and no additional accessories or tools are included.
Is ginger candy actually as effective as ginger capsules or tea?
Ginger chews, capsules, and tea all deliver the active compounds in ginger, but they differ in convenience and onset time. Chews are the most portable and start working as soon as you begin chewing, which is why many travelers and chemo patients prefer them over capsules that need water or tea that needs brewing.
