Elite 3650      Laurium, MI |  Subject: Holy Crap (part deux)!!!So I was at the running shop yesterday just looking around and talking to the owner when I stopped at the Gu shelf. Remembering I needed to pick some up I decided to try a few of the Vanilla bean. HOLY CRAP those things are great! I couldn't believe that a semi-gelatenous paste could taste so good. I think I'm going to order another case of the stuff. Are there any other flavors that taste that good? |

Extreme Veteran 474 Sydney | Subject: RE: Holy Crap (part deux)!!! GU chocolate rocks, it actually tastes like a really rich chocolate sauce. I've actually thought about using it at home on a sticky date pudding or something. Would be great. Only problem is that it is a little rich and can leave me a little sick if I have 2-3 on a long run. Don't think I'd want to race with it. |

Expert 950 McKinney, TX | Subject: RE: Holy Crap (part deux)!!! HOLY MOLY! Where can I find those? Manatee Express - 2006-01-19 6:53 PM Has anyone tried the new Jelly Belly energy beans? I can chime in on gels i don't like...Hammer's Espresso and most chocolate ones. I just can't enjoy chocolate when I'm suffering. I do like all of Power Gels flavors...lemon-lime is my favorite.

I'll let you know once I have them. I had the chocolate and the espresso love today and i have to say the chocolate is great too. The espresso one tasted really good, but that coffee taste didn't sit well through the ride. It would probably be good for recovery, but not for before or during the activity.

I tried a pack of them before my 1/2 mary last month and had no problems! They are really tasty! I've only had the orange and lime ones so far. |

Pro 4189 Pittsburgh, my heart is in Glasgow | Subject: RE: Holy Crap (part deux)!!! Hammer Gel Raspberry is A+, so is Accel Gel Strawberry Kiwi. The Accel Chocolate was too ...I dunno, sticky and not fluid enough for me to get down without massive amounts of water. |
