Message: <blockquote data-quote="SimonP78" data-source="post: 2639471" data-attributes="member: 556474">I go for sour snakes and sour cola bottles (jelly sweets), they aren't as carb rich as something like a Dextrose tablet but they are easy to eat (and keep breathing) and as they are slightly sour I can keep eating them at the end of a long ride. I decant them into a plastic bag which I take with me, which makes it easier to open and get the sweets from.I also take Skittles for a quick hit, though much easier to eat while not riding as the packets are a pain and they become quite hard to chew & breath at the same time (they also go very very hard in the winter, so not ideal).My ultimate fallback is Kendal mintcake, if I feel nauseous for whatever reason, but need to get some carbs in this works as the peppermint makes it bearable. It's also 99% carbs so good bang for your (volume/weight) buck.</blockquote>
