Has anyone tried these things? I'm a GU user but must admit I don't like the mess they make. The nutritional info looks similiar:
http://www.drugstore.com/qxp146622_333181_sespider/jelly_belly/sport_beans_energizing_jelly_beans_lemon_lime.htm

but all of the carbs come from sugar. The GU label only lists 3g of sugar with the main ingredeint being maltodextrin. Is this better for cycling performance than plain sugar?

The clif bar crew has come on line with a gummy bear type (texture like gummy bears...not the shape...) product:

I thought they needed vodka.

tried the sport beans. not bad tasting but don't try to eat the things when you're really breathing hard. just too easy to suck the things down the old windpipe.
