I am a distance runner, but I'm not a big fan of the sickly-sweet energy gels that are on the market. I read about these in Amazon.com reviews, and I tried them, and they are as fantastic as advertised. They taste great, and they are just the thing to eat before or during a long workout. I can't recommend these to people enough. Just be thankful that they come in such small packages, because otherwise you would just keep eating them!

Big League Chew, Ground Ball Grape Bubble Gum, 2.12-Ounce Pouches (Pack of 12)
Ok I have to weigh in here as this is already becoming a contentious discussion. I am speaking as one of the few people who is legally permitted to be in the presence of children AND enjoys the flavor of Groundball Grape. Rather than staunchly defending my own predilections, I must say that I have some truly bizarre tastes when it comes to food and sweets in particular. As a child, I once broke the seal on a bottle of that horrible pink candy-medicine and drank the gooey nectar simply because I found it tasty. I have bought 1lb bags of fine dinner mints with the intent of sole consumption, and also enjoy orange circus peanuts. In my adult years, I have been known to eat tacos for breakfast and dunk razor-shaved slices of salami into milkshakes, a la chips n' dip. It is I, dear readers who enjoys the tangy, tart, unfavorably robust and chemical flavor of Ground Ball Grape. I defend my enjoyment of it as a matter of personal taste, but would never even suggest it as a preference of others. If we are a member of this minority and wish to maintain strong opinions of such a personal nature, we must recognize not only the futility of defending our untenable position, but that it is wrong to do so. To even imply that anybody 'should' enjoy this flavor is to betray one's own position. By the very nature of the thing, it is absurd to like this disgusting gum. Anyone who says that Groundball Grape is a 'good' flavor, or that it should be a 'well liked' flavor is defining themselves as a madman in the eyes of society. Any opinions held are the product of sheer lunacy. One must accept that the very fact of liking this flavor is unusual, and exhibit nothing but sympathy for those who despise it. Members such as CP should be supported and consoled, and should be reconciled with their families, in time.

Dubble Bubble Tub Original Flavor 380 ct
I decided to buy some Dubble Bubble after seeing a tub of it in the Red Sox dugout on TV. For some reason I always thought they chewed Bazooka since that was just about all there was growing up as a kid here. I ran out and got a couple of packs of each for my own taste test. I gotta admit I like the DB better. Like the other reviewer here I noticed that its not as sticky on the teeth as Bazooka. And I actually thought it was sweeter and lasted a tad longer. Its sorta like comparing Coke to Pepsi for their both good and very similar. But I do have to give the final nod to DB. (Even considering you still get the Bazooka Joe comic with Bazooka.) Besides, if Dubble Bubble is good enough for the Red Sox, its good enough for me!... 
Jolly Rancher Sugar Free Hard Candies, Assorted Flavors, 3.6-Ounce Bags (Pack of 12)
Being diabetic, I am always on the watch for sugar free snacks. The "Jolly Rancher Sugar Free Hard Candies
" are a great addition to my snaking list. At only 35 calories and 0 Net Carbs for 4 pieces, these do not impact my blood sugar levels or ruin my diet. They are slightly less sweet than regular candies, but do not seem to cause the "laxative" effect other dietetic candies can have.
Orbit-Jumbo Variety Pack, 15 Packs
This is the best valued Orbit chewing gum package. You will not get tired of the flavor since you get to sample a number of them : 3 wintermints
3 peppermints
3 cinnamints 3 spearmints
3 bubblemints
Like other chewing gums, I have to open two everytime. One seems like too small that I almost don't feel it in my mouth. Orbit is a premium gum at a premium price. Generally I find it more expensive that the others at the aisle. But the flavor and taste lasts for a long time before it is time to throw it out. What more, it cleans your teeth. No calorie and no sugar.
Believe it or not, Orbit gum was launched in 1944 during the war and it was really intended for our soldiers.
Orbit is the first sugar free chewing gum by Wrigley, the maker of "Juicy Fruit". It was granted by the American Dental Association of a seal of approval to help improve dental health. It is 1 of the top 5 brands of gum in the United States.

Red Vines Red Original Licorice Twists, 64-Ounce Tub
We purchased this in addition to the Red Vines Black Licorice Twists
. Red Vines provide excellent value; you will not find four pounds of candy at this price that is so popular with kids and adults. Red Vines are Star-K kosher-certified with no fat and only 140 calories per serving (five pieces/vines).
The licorice is also versatile for many occasions. I use Red Vines licorice for Halloween, birthday parties and I keep a tub at the office to fend off co-workers who roam around in the afternoon, looking for a snack.
Licorice requires tender, loving care. Unlike hard candy, which can (and often does) sit for months in the bottom of your grandmother's purse, licorice tastes best soft and fresh. Storage should be airtight and at room temperature. Lucky for us, this order arrives in a plastic tub with a nine-month shelf life.
According to the Red Vines web site, "many fans heat Red Vines candy in their microwaves for 5-7 seconds or until the candy reaches the desired softness." I tried this trick and it works great, softening the licorice into a delectable treat.
Horizon Organic Reduced Fat Milk, 8-Ounce Aseptic Cartons (Pack of 18)
Most regularly packaged milks are NOT UHT treated-- that is "Ultra-High Temperature." Much like Pasteurization or autoclaving, this sterilization treatment significantly extends the life of the product by increasing the time it takes for bacteria to grow in significant quantities in the milk (the bacteria is what makes a warm bottle of milk "go bad"). The difference is these do not require refrigeration to prevent spoilage. These are bottled to be portable and durable, not just consumption. We use them for our daughter's lunches, trips, and general snacks.
It is true at $1.22 per bottle, the cost is ~20 cents higher than you can get at other locations--i.e., the cases are ~$16 at Costco. Still, for those of us that live in remote/rural locations-- it's a really good deal for doorstep delivery.
