Ride Food - What works?

What do you eat and how often during a ride?

I have tried many things over the years - Fig Newtons were a staple for a long time. Dried fruits were used for a few seasons.
Power bars - look the same going in as coming out, taste the same too.
I tried a lot of stuff but I think I am narrowing in on what works for me.
Last year I discovered Soy Joy bars, they are light and tastey, easy to eat. I take a berry flavored one with a lemon lime gu after every hour in the saddle. Seems to work well for me. At the end of the ride I take a bar heavy in whey protein (Balance Bar).

What works for you?
