Either way, they're probably a less costly alternative to things like Goo.
Apart from liking them, I hadn't really considered dried apricots until your post. The 300k this past weekend made me a believer: they're really easy to eat, and you can go long distances without getting tired of them. Thanks for the recommendation.
