I just did a 7 day bike tour and instead of eating what they provided,( PB&J's, fruit etc...)most of which I never eat on rides, I stuck with Oreo's and finished strong every day. My buddy always drinks a Coke too, at some point on longish rides, swears by it.
I drank a Pepsi at around mile 100 of a 114 mile ride, and it was like drinking jet fuel.
Oreos don't really do much for me. I can eat an entire package in a day, and the only thing I feel the next day is my feet getting tingly from my circulation going to crap. But they do taste good.....Doublestuff, of course.
