Clif Shot Bloks, but only in the early stages of a long run because otherwise I, too, can't seem to chew them enough. My husband likes the Honey Stingers, but they are too dry for me. I tried a couple of Sharkies recently on a long run with a friend - she loves them and I was intrigued. They are a gummie but softer and easier to chew than, say, the Shot Bloks.Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05890227462052573887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4930457134828005115.post-30641001138373839642014-10-10T11:48:57.266-04:002014-10-10T11:48:57.266-04:00Honey stingers are winning in this round... seeing...Honey stingers are winning in this round... seeing it everywhere.<br />I need to try Nunn...
