Sports beans

Try saying it 3X fast: Sports beans. Sports beans. Sports beans. :-)

Jelly Belly Sports Beans, cherry flavored. I like them-they are a little on the sour side, which is preferable over too sweet. They were a little "grainy," which tells me they are formulated differently than regular Jelly Bellys. Did they really give me a boost of energy? I can't say-maybe the "placebo" effect was in place, but I would buy them again.

  2. My mouth was watering thinking about eating something sour=) I have not tried them bc I have wondered if they would give me a boost or mess with my blood sugar too much. I should try them during my training to see if they help but I need to get my miles back up before I really need something like that.

  3. They are yummy! I enjoyed them. I didn't get a big boost from them like I did from a GU gel with caff. but they did help some. I LOVE the GU chomps. Now, those, I could snack on all day long!

  4. I still can hardly believe there is such an invention - genius! They sound so handy to have on a long run.
