I have never heard of Sport beans and now I am curious. I need to go out today anyway, so I will look for them.

Kate- Where in Texas are you? We are planning to do the Conquer the Coast. DH just loves the coast, so it should be a lot of fun.
The Outlaw was my first century! It is not too hilly, but somewhat windy. It was pretty well supported, although it could have been better. I haven't decided if I will do it this year, I should since it is 8 miles down the road!
Now back to the sport beans talk....Amanda

Nashbar is now offering 24 packs of sport beans for $19.99, only orange and lemon lime. Maybe performance will start carrying them soon as well...

I just wish they would sell them in something with a little (okay, alot) less packaging! Bulk food, dudes! I can't bring myself to buy all that litter.

I found them-okay only the green ones-still
I did manage to find Sport Beans. At my Walgreens they were 89 cents/package and they only carried the green. I asked if they would recieve more flavours and the sales clerk looked as though I spoke a foreign language. I guess I will learn to love the lime flavour.

I'll have to look for them at Target.
Walgreens is always sold out of them. They do have them online, with free shipping, though. Your purchase has to be $50 and only the lemon lime flavor.
I have the orange ones and we both like them. Of course, I seem to be on an orange kick right now....

At REI you can always get 20% off performance food if you buy 12 or more (you can mix and match). That includes the sport beans, as I discovered this morning when I bought 12 GUs, some Shot Blocks and a packet of sport beans. That comes out to only $.80 a packet!

am i the only one that doesn't like them??
i bought 4 different flavors from the lbs, thinking they would be the "thing". went on a 52mi ride this past saturday, stopped half way at a store and opened a pack up. thought i was gonna puke at the sweetness
yuck!!!!!
i just don't like sweet stuff to eat or drink on my rides. gatorade is cut to at least half strength and i love lemon-lime HEED cause it doesn't have any sweet taste to it, at least to me.
anyway, gonna give the rest away to cycling buddies.

Found beans!
I found the beans at a local sporting goods store for .89 and they had 4 different flavors plus one called "Extreme Cherry" that has 50mg of caffeine - I love the others but the caffeine ones are NASTY!! I also found that they sell ShotBloks, GU, and other stuff so I'm experimenting with snacks again. My S.O. just shakes her head at me when I come home with yet ANOTHER bag of goodies...and laughs at me as I stand there scratching my head before a ride trying to decide which ones I'm taking with me. Good thing she loves me and is willing to humor me and my obsession!
