I've tried the PowerBar gel packs too and they're not TOO bad....Kind of an odd flavor though... Tight lipped

The blueberry ones are definitely the best.

Wait...what? Where are you finding blueberry?! I can never find anything other than fruit punch and lemon-lime. I want blueberry! Surprised

I LOVE the jelly beans. I used the Orange flavor in my last race and they were fantastic. I pinned them to the inside of the waistband of my shorts and I think my body heat warmed them up and made them soft and easy to chew. I timed it so I finished right before a water station to wash them down, b/c they can be a little salty. All in all, much much better than a gel. I just can't stomach gels or GU - something about the texture makes me do a throw-up-in-my-mouth kinda thing. Know what I mean? Tight lipped

My Target sells 'em as individual packs, for some reason it only carries the 5 pack in orange or lime. I've only bought the 5 packs so far, but since the berry flavor comes highly recommended I'll give 'em a try next time.

Yes, as a matter of fact I do know what you mean...There's "something" about the gels that's not quite right...

I dunno, I've always found the Powerbar gels to be the worst of the bunch - the texture doesn't sit right with me. The best was the Apple-Cinnamon Karb-boom, hands down (it even had little tiny chunks of apple!), but they've become impossible to find. They reminded me of that canned apple-pie filling (which would probably work fine, actually, maybe I'll just start buying that instead). The runner up (for me) is the vanilla Gu, but I wouldn't actually say I like it.
