How long do these things stay good if you keep them in the fridge? I'm thinking of getting one to make life cheaper and easier but i don't chug the stuff down so i'm hoping it would last for a while..

Thanks! that's the info i was looking for. I did the email thing yesterday to ask how many referral points i had accumulated and still have no answer so BF is faster.

They last a long time, and for me, they are the best option for refueling -- not only because it's a great energy source with low simple sugar content, but also I love that they sell it in bulk. This results in much lower per-serving cost, more flexibility in servings, and less trash!! (I hate seeing used gel foils lying on the side of the road). Another fun thing about Hammer gel is mixing flavors -- I like Orange/Chocolate and Tropical/Raspberry -- so you don't get sick of the same flavor all the time. I am frankly really suprised that so few other manufacturers offer bulk gel.

Love those guys.. got 1 jug of raspberry.. flask is included first time. flier coupon code is free water bottle which i was going to get.. wanted to try the tropical and orange single packs and they threw that in there too. also Thanks to anyone who used my referral #
And yea.. i don't understand why GU has Gu flasks and gel bot water bottles when they don't have big bulk gel? are you supposed to squeeze out the little packets? that's stupid.
i'm psyched though cuz i tend to put off having a gel or whatever until it's too late since once i open it then i have to eat the whole thing but now i can have a little bit.. cap it and have more later in the ride.
