Jelly Belly Watermelon Sport Jelly Beans, 1-Ounce (Pack of 24)

After trying GU gel (which made me gag), I decided to try these beans. The watermelon flavor was awesome, no fake taste like the gels that I've tried. They go down as easy as regular jellybeans. Do drink with water though to prevent stomach upset (it tells you that on the box). I haven't had any problems with them at all, as long as I drink water. They give me the most energy of any I've tried, plus caffeine -- which I really need before a run (as I don't usually drink my daily coffee before running). I would definitely buy these again!

Started training for a half marathon a few months ago and found myself needing a bit of an extra boost after seven miles or so. I simply can't stand gels - the texture seriously puts me off. I've found these beans to be a good substitute - about the right amount of glucose to help me over the hump, and the little bit of caffeine adds a little additional kick. I'm also a fan of the Cytomax energy drops, but I find them hard to eat while running as they are a bit large. The flavor is pleasant without being cloyingly sweet, at least to my palate. These have become a staple for me for my longer runs.

As far as energy products are concerned, these are great! The little beans are perfect to pop in your mouth without getting messy and the re-sealable pouch is great to eat in batches. There's about 15 beans in each pouch. For my long runs, I eat 5 about 20 minutes before my workout and 5 more about every 6KMs. They don't taste exactly like the yummy jelly-belly candies but they are good. Watermelon is a nice flavor and it washes down great with water.

I liked how they tasted & gave me lots of energy.

As I am an insulin dependent diabetic everyday cyclist, these are the best way to insure that I can replace blood glucose during long rides. Each package is good for 1 hour of blood sugar maintenance while on a long ride. One problem is that one cannot eat the beans while riding, (the packaging is difficult) and if I have carried the bag in my pocket during warm days the beans melt together. I have used these for 5 years now and have seen/used nothing better. The taste leaves something to be desired, but they are not meant to be candy.

I eat these when I run or when I am running around like a crazy women with my 3 boys! They taste great and offer quick energy.

I love to eat these beans while I'm running. Really excited to get a full pack of the watermelon flavor at such a good price.

Not as fresh as I expected.

Kinda has a chalky taste but taste pretty good better then trying to chug a protein shake but its definitely expensive. (I think i got these for $3.86 or something)

good value

I have to be honest and say I didn't like the taste of these at all, but I'm sure some people would really like it. They were almost sour, and not what I expected from a Jelly Belly I guess.

Bad taste

Taste pretty good but I feel absolutely no caffeine.
