Gels repulse me. I just can't do it. I hate the texture and the flavor, I can't get one down without gagging, and they usually just don't sit well in my tummy. I absolutely love jelly beans and gummi things though so I was very happy when the blocks and beans hit the market!reflux said:A good substitute for anyone who can't stomach gels. Otherwise, just eat a gel and be done with it.
Neato, a friend of mine says the exact same. Question though, do you eat regular, normal jelly beans on a ride?DH Diva said:Gels repulse me. I just can't do it.

I don't eat regular candy on rides, but when the "replacement" candies came out (blocks and beans) it was like getting to eat candy on a ride. Can you tell I like candy?reflux said:Neato, a friend of mine says the exact same. Question though, do you eat regular, normal jelly beans on a ride?
I'm odd, I really like gels.
I dig'em...they are easy to digest and seem to give a nice boost of energy.sanjuro said:What do you think?

they're apparently very good at extracting crowns.
especially if they're cold.
They don't melt, they just get soft like gummy bears.jdschall said:How do they hold up in your pack, say, in the summer? Do they melt?
The strawberry are the best I've had yet. CranRazz is my #2 favorite. I've tried lemonlime and it wasn't that good and the orange (which I tried because of the caffeine) was close to offensive.syadasti said:How are the strawberry Bloks - thinking of trying them?
I recently tried those and am impressed. Tried the orange-vanilla and found it to actually taste good without being too syrupy/sticky.syadasti said:Carb-BOOM is the gel of choice for me. All natural, good carb profile, and it goes down easy and comes in decent flavors.
I noticed that too, but I find it even easier to gobble 200 calories of Bloks than eating a Clif Bar or doing 2 shot of Gu...bluebug32 said:the thing that's weird about them is they're actually 2 servings in a pack, so it's a lot to down all at once
