No one will ever accuse me of being a healthy eater, although I do try to be better than I used to. I was volunteering at an aid station during a recent triathlon, and we had a bunch of Cliff bars leftover. Thought I would grab one and try it on the ride home, but to be honest I thought it was like chewing a handful of sawdust. The cardboard box they came in probably would taste better, IMHO. I think a full-size Snickers bar is about the same nutritional content, and a heck of lot more enjoyable.
I read a book last winter by Jill Homer about her biking adventures, and she talked about eating Sour Patch Kids for energy while riding. One day I had stopped in a convenience store for a snack while biking and saw some, I had never tried them so figured I would give them a chance. I am now about addicted to them as my go-to snack on the bike!
I would suggest you give them a try, sure taste better than Cliff bars
