I've used both thesee Clif Bloks and the Gatorade Energy Chews. They both give me a nice boost when I'm out on my 3-hour bike rides. I could honestly care less about the flavor, but both of these taste pretty good. There is a big difference between texture. The Clif Blok is smooth like most gummies, but the Gatorade chew is a bit gritty. You can feel the sugar granules, so it gives it a texture like you're eating something with a bit of sand in it. I'm not super picky, so this wouldn't stop me from buying them again. What would stop me from buying them again is how sticky the Gatorade Chews get, even in cool weather. The main reason I buy energy cubes like these are so I can pull them out of my pocket during a long ride and get a little energy boost without having to stop. The Clif Bloks slide out easily. I can pull the package out of my pocket and squeeze an individual cube up and out of the wrapper, even if it's the last cube in the bottom of the package. Even after it's been sitting in my pocket for 2 hours in the 90-degree heat. Now this is where the Gatorade Energy Chews fail in my opinion. I can usually get the first Energy chew out fairly easily, but after that they're a real pain. They get extremely sticky, even when it's not that hot out. This makes them extremely difficult to get out of the package without using two hands. The Clif Bloks can easily be squeezed out of the wrapper, even after 3 hours of riding in the heat, but the Gatorade Energy Chews get sticky after sitting in my pocket for just a matter of minutes, even in cool weather. On a side note, I also snip the ends of the wrappers off using scissors before I leave for a ride, just to make it a bit easier.

They taste great and are a bit addictive as substitutes for gummy bears. They work well on rides with no residue, easy storage, and a casual caffeine boost that would be better if it lasted longer than perhaps 45-60 min for 3 of them. Not long ago, they were roughly $20. I am getting close to giving them up due to the near doubling in price. Yes, inflation occurred, but this outpaced inflation for both medical care and college.

They taste good, deliver caffeine, and give you some energy. The bloks themselves have an odd semi-gummy consistency. It's basically a very firm gummy. If you were to try to squish a blok, it would bend a bit, then softly break into two pieces. Hard to describe. I like it, but not everyone will. My biggest gripe is with how each package opens. I'm not sure why Clif thinks their packaging is good -- it's pretty obviously awful. The plastic usually does not tear cleanly. Instead, it will just stretches to the point that the ink in the plastic starts to rub off on you. Eventually you'll strecth a part of it thin enough that it will tear, in which case you need to hope the tear will travel in a direction conducive to creating a hole large enough for the bloks to come out. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. If you lose, you need to pry the hole open with your finger. In either case, you're left with a flap of inky plastic hanging over where the hole is, and it'll be up in your face when you try to squeeze a blok out into your mouth. It's really just annoying and stupid. I eat these at the climbing gym with chalky hands, and it's very difficult to open and/or plop one into your mouth without getting some chalk on it, because the whole process is way too involved for what it is. I don't know why they just don't let it open like a bag of potato chips -- where you just pull it apart and leave a hole in the top of the package. Seems very obvious to me.

These are great to crack open on a hike or long distance run. Tasty imo, a perfect chewing/gummy texture that I like, and they come in wraps of 6 which is perfect for splitting with others. Are they healthy? No idea. But do they quickly give me a last burst of energy on a hike and or enough of a kick for the last few miles in a run? Totally. Plus they don’t make me jittery or anxious after eating them (unless I eat like two at once and then try to sit through a lecture…..not a good idea lol).

Great flavor and composition. Expensive for what they are though.

I was on a ski trip to Steamboat Springs in March -- and Clif Bloks made my day and saved my life. My friends and I were out to dinner the night before. We could see snow falling in the window. It was going to be a great day on the mountain the next day. About 9PM I got a text from a fiend who was a Steamboat local. He was planning to do the "first tracks" pass to get out earlier than the standard lift ticket... that also meant we were going to have a guide for the day to take us to all the powder across the mountain. That also meant that from dinner to waking up the next day to being on the mountain, there wasn't much time. My buddy and I woke up the next day, grabbed some quick food from the cabin, but also brought Clif Bloks. I brought both the bloks with and without caffeine. I loaded up a couple sleeves in my chest pocket and had a block or two on rides throughout the day. They powered us through an amazing day of initially ripping open fields of powder and quickly dipping into cut runs on our snowboards through the trees. The energy level never dropped. We were among the very first runs of the day but also watched the crowds go in for lunch. By mid afternoon we were cutting into even denser trees to get more of the heavenly feeling of powder. As we cut into some of those tighter tracks, our guide (who had been amazing all day) fell in a tight track. I recognized the challenge a little too late -- and I ended up running into an Aspen tree at near full speed. I don't think I've ever hit anything that hard in my life. I was on my back, gasping for air and looking up to see the Aspen still rattling from the strike. I slowly regained my air, stood up and did the mental inspection of my body. I was ok fine. I had struck the tree directly with my chest -- and very importantly in precise spot where the Clif Bloks were in my pocket. The firm squishiness had absorbed some of the impact and (I'm nearly positive on this) kept me from breaking a rib. By that point we were pretty late in the day. We took a few more runs to celebrate my lack of severe injury before calling it a day. Clif Bloks went above and beyond that day... powering one of my top 10 lifetime days on a snowboard and protecting me from my most violent snowboard accident ever. Thanks Clif team.
