          I love this form. Gives you an alternative to gels or bars. Taste is outstanding and the burst of flavor puts one in a good mood before or during a workout (especially if you're on a treadmill) :)

            I loooooove this thing, I love it so much I keep buying by a box. Im' a morning runner and this is the fast thing I eat before heading out for jogging, almost impossible to seperate. Easy to open, easy to digest, and tasty. My fav is the Cola and glad to see RRS is offering it again. I also carry it on travel to snack on. Pricy, but works.

                I have tried both the Strawberry Banana and the Raspberry. I really like the flavor of both. The texture is a little odd - like a very chewy gummy bear but I love gummies so that worked out. The only con really is the packaging. It is much larger than a gel so it is harder to store on myself while running.

                  Tried this product cycling one day, the packaging is large and not easy to carry. Even worse, it is hard to get the gel blasts out of the packaging without sticky residue all over. This product tastes good and works appropriately, but would not recommend unless there was a packaging change.

                  I tried this a year ago and now this is a staple to my exercise nutrition. I feel that it is an alternative to a gel and is easy on the stomach. Also, it gives you a different texture of nutrition if you are competing in long endurance events.(gels and sports drinks) I also am a fan of gummy candies so I especially like it.

                  These are really quite yummy, but the packaging is too big. It takes up way too much space in your jersey or bento-box. You can put them in a smaller package to transport, but I don't know why the company can't do that to begin with.

                      I got my free sample. The rasberry was tasty and yes very chewy. The down side is they make your hands sticky, and with the hard run, my hands are already sweaty so the sugar in these added to that and made my hands feel slimey. Would perfer a dry outer coating to the sugary sticky surface.
                      You can get the same glucose burst from a handful of jelly beans. Didn't see much in the way of electrolytes or vitamin or other nutrional value just pure carb.

                            These taste really good. I tried them on a 10 miler the other day and they helped give me a little extra boost to finish the run..

                            These things taste great! Not sure what the other reviewer was talking about. Both have a nice natural tasting flavor - and are a perfect alternative to Gels...

                            Wow, these are definitely chewy! Really didn't feel like something a person should eat. I can't really judge how well they work for energy because I didn't want to eat more than one.
