alienator said:All goo's are going to do is metabolize a bit faster than solid stuff. Another benefit is that given their high sugar density, they might upset the stomachs of some people....or maybe make them yack. Otherwise, goo's offer no other advantages, unless small form factor and having sticky fingers is really important to you.
Clif bars suck for use at real intensity. The advantage of gels is that you can down a hundred cals super quick. You don't have to chew them. You are not forced to breath through your nose as you gag down a mouthfull of high tech granola. You just have to squeeze them into your mouth, swallow, then chase the taste out of your mouth and dilute the sugar in your stomach with a big swig of water. It takes a few seconds.Xsmoker said:+1, I prefer Cliff Bars

Has anybody found websites with low prices for food like this aside from amazon.com?

You can pick up individually wrapped multi-grain fruit bars (as I mentioned) for about $2 for a box of eight. 140 Cals per bar, 25 of that from fat. Fig Newtons are probably even cheaper, but you have to put them in a plastic bag or something.RedRider2009 said:The cost of this type of stuff really gets me...it hardly costs the companies anything to produce these items.

Can you spit the seeds at that idiot trying to pass you with no warning?huboon said:Real dates -- about $6 for a 5 pound container. If they're not pitted you can spit the seeds at other peoples' spokes.
As for the fancy stuff, I like the Hammer Gel... $20 for a big container of many servings to mix with your water. No chewing necessary.
