Never done the fancy gel packs/athletic energy suppliments. I usually just drink water and grab a gas station hot-dog, granola bar, beer, whatever after about 50 miles.
I've never done a century but I do longish rides fairly often and never felt the need for that hi-tech stuff. Water, OJ (Im diabetic) and the basic tools I'd need to fix a flat or adjust my bars/pedals/seat if the need arose.
