11 mins confidence:
(pre-measured) doses Explanation: I also found the vials used for absinthe, but I also found a Belgian website that makes containers. The website seems to use the term for "cap" but it seems to me that your context refers to ready-to-use product, so it is probably a pre-measured amount in a container. Without more to go on, or a picture, this is my suggestion. Reference: http://www.sepac.be/html/producten/potten-kunststof.htm |

peer agreement (net): +5sachet Explanation: A "Topette" is traditionally a small bottle (from 10ml to 33ml), but in this case it is an energy gel in a sachet. "T TOPETTE (contenant et contenu) : petit bidon plat en aluminium contenant la plupart du temps un stimulant. Venu du langage picard (même racine que toupie), le mot désignait une petite bouteille longue et étroite. Aujourd'hui, elle a pris la forme d'un flacon plat qui se glisse facilement dans une poche dorsale de maillot cycliste. On en trouve même en vente dans certains magasins de cycles." http://www.vttduras.org/sante/dopage/index.php?page=abecedai... "Le cyclisme est-il vraiment un sport trop dur sans topette ? La lutte antidopage promet-elle d’être efficace un jour ?" http://www.vivelaforme.com/vlf/vlf27/LIBRAIRIE1.HTML "Re : INFO DIETETIQUE ET ENTRAINEMENT par VINCENT BLONDEAU le 10/5/2005 13:52 A l'effort aussi lorsque tu avales une topette de 20 g seulle .

"Mon compagnon qui compte toujours un quart d’heure d’avance sur lui-même et surtout cinq sur moi (écart qui se stabilise depuis que j’ai sauté dans sa roue) s’alimente… Emballage plastique par terre, topette ingurgitée en moins d’deux et balancée sur la chaussée, tout va bien… " http://www.velo-concept.com/?pg=articles&rub=5&cat=32&id=809... see picture: http://www.veloland.com/catalogue2006.pdf In English: "Maxim Energy Gel (25g sachets) 3 for 2 Offer Buy two boxes (of 10) and get a third box FREE!

"Energy gels (also called carbo gels) are a thick carbohydrate syrup or paste designed as an alternative snack supplement to extend your muscle glycogen stores and provide additional Calories and energy for rides of more than 2 hours. They contain a combination of simple and complex carbohydrates (usually maltodextrin, rice syrup, or polysaccharides) packaged in a palm sized packet of plastic or foil with a tear off end to allow the contents to be "sucked" out rather than chewed, and provide between 70 and 100 Calories (17 - 25 grams of carbohydrate) per packet. An additional advantage is that they are completely fat free minimizing any delay in gastric emptying. To provide the 60 grams of carbohydrate per hour usually suggested to supplement exercising muscle glycogen supplies, you would need a gel packet every 30 to 45 minutes.
