Doesn't take too much room in a jersey pocket.
I'm partial to smoked turkey breast sandwiches on long brevets. Usually after 10-12 hours in the saddle, a turkey sandwich goes down REALLY well and gives me the motivation to get back on for the rest of the night. I've done turkey breast on tortillas made at home and eaten after 10-12 hours but will only do that on brevets when temps are in the 40s or lower. Any warmer than that and I buy them at Subway or a grocery deli.

On PBP I used 40 bottles of Perpetuem, all individually measured and carried in little ziploc baggies just as you described. Takes up less space in my trunk bag than the solids. But for shorter/warmer rides, a few tubes of solids (same size tube as Nuun) in my bento box works really well.
