I don't see it listed in the poll.But,without a doubt mine and just about everyone I ride with,swears by HammerGel.They say no simple sugars, but it really does give you a prolonged boost.It tastes good.They have a wide variety of flavors to choose from.It costs about 16.00 a bottle but works out to half the price as the other gels.I'm not trying to sell this stuff,even though it may sound like it.Their website is: www.hammernutrtion.com

This category should at least have 'other' for those you don't list.

and now that they have low fat fig newtons, they should be the No. 1 energy gel

Honey.

Cheap and all natural with no marketing hype.

Or cookie dough! I fill my camelback up with the dough and just roll. Whatever happened to real food?

Bananas. 100% biodegradable so you can fling the peel at friends....

HammerGel is great but it is hard to find. I like strawberry/banana GU and bananas.

I still say cookie dough is best. Try to get pillsbury, less lumps, less hassle. Also, I recomend you carry a bandana, this stuff is messy. Also, when in a pinch, you can lube your cables or drive train with it. Cookie dough is the ultimate number one energy gel, also, possibly raw eggs might work, whatever is trendiest. You decide.

Can't you just squeeze it straight from the tube into your mouth? Like a giant tube of GU.

A lot of the others are getting better tasting for Hammer seems to sit in my stomach pretty good. I love the orange taste.
