I may have a serious problem on my hands. I cannot stop eating these things. It's not possible to open a bag without finishing it. The straw-ban with caffeine are tasty, and they will perk you up for sure. I like the chewy consistency. Some other energy chews from comparable brands are like mush. Gel blast are easy to handle and are not sticky at all.

I recently tried the Gel Blasts on a five-mile run. I ate one at the beginning of miles 2, 3, and 4. I usually only drink water on my runs, and I noticed that I was able to run at a faster pace and felt less fatigue than I usually do when my run was complete.
The Gel Blasts were extremely tasty. However, I found them difficult to chew, even when taking a short walk break. Because of how much easier it was to run, I think they're worth the trouble. I'd highly recommend these Gel Blasts to anyone who participates in a high-impact activity.
