Promo through the end of the month. You get a free water bottle with the order.

The product comparison doesn't look too bad. I ordered some just for fun (yeah, and the bottle). Sodium is high but no where near as high as Gatorade.

Looks interesting! I might try some out in the future!

I do love Jelly Belly!

OMG! Food made just for me! :p

Jelly Bellies have gotten me up many 14k foot peaks and through grueling backcountry ski trips. Though I imagine they might be kind of hard to eat whilst on the bike. Perhaps we need to invent a special dispenser so that you don't have to worry about dropping them (oh, the tragedy)!

Like a Pez dispenser for JBs?

I never need an excuse for sweets.

We had a thread going a while back about "calories don't count when . . . " I can add "they provide essential electrolytes."

I'm so excited! For a few years, I was the official Jelly Belly Lady! Seriously, I went to the local Super-Targets and grocery stores, stocking and reordering Jelly Bellys! It was an amazing job! I ate up all my profits though. Oh happy day!

I will have to wait for better flavors, don't like orange or lemon lime :( now margarita or root beer is a different story.

I was going to order some, but then I saw how expensive the shipping was! But then I found them on eBay for cheaper shipping.

A "bento box" would be an easy way to carry them and snack while on the bike- I use mine for everything!
