A Staple
I found these little gems years ago in my local bike shop. I bought a few bags and took them with me trail running. If I felt like was running low on energy I would pop a few in. I take them mountain biking. They give me a quick burst of energy. I usually will combine them with a few bites from a protein bar to keep me going without getting a gut ache. I like the variety pack so I don't get burned out on one flavor. While on my road bike I will just open the package up and dump in one of my back pockets so as I am riding I can just reach back and grab a few.

A Hiking Staple
I never hike without these Sport Beans. The Extreme ones are my fave due to the little caffeine burst but both are good. You can carry several packs for no noticeable weight. It's easy to pop a few in your mouth while on the go on challenging trails to keep your energy steady. They taste great. They don't make my teeth feel funny like when you've had too much sugar. They've never once melted on me or gotten sticky whether carrying in my pants pocket or pack. And they are easy to share. The perfect trail snack.

So much easier than gels!
I've been using gels for my long runs and while they certainly work, you have to down them all at once or your pocket/running pouch, etc. get all sticky. The beans taste great, and you can have one or a few at a time. That also makes it much easier on your stomach. I really love these!

Pretty good flavors, mostly caffeinated, great hangover/sick/post workout remedy
These are great! I don’t use them every day, but they are a good addition to the Gatorade arsenal when someone is sick or hungover. For my workouts, I tend to prefer Gu because you just shoot it and are done. This is quite a few beans per dose and I don’t see mucking with them on a endurance track. After a really hard workout, they are a nice treat on the drive home though. The variety pack seemed to skew mostly to the caffeinated beans, which is ok, but I find myself reaching for non-caff more. mostly because I tend to use them after a workout, not during.The smoothly flavors are gross. The salt and electrolyte flavor really doesn’t work with them. Otherwise most other flavors are pretty darn good.

Sport Beans work to give quick energy!
Love this product - get energy when I need it - I don't drink coffee much, but this gives me the stamina I need when walking - I use both the caffeinated & regular Sport Beans

Great value, tastes great at first but then tastes like battery acid.
Comes with a lot of flavors, and extra little mints. They are a little bigger than normal jelly beans. They taste pretty good at first but then they have a horrid aftertaste and just end up tasting like battery acid. Now I’m stuck with a box of chemically jelly and don’t know what to do with it.

Taste not so good
The taste of the product isn't really desirable and leaves an after taste in your month and tongue. I do buy the regular Jelly Belly products.

Overpriced
Way overpriced for what you get. Read carefully.
