Great product!
Was weary about using these since some say it upsets their gut, but for me it was perfectly fine. And I love being able to mix and match flavors so I have a different flavor gel every 30 mins. Chocolate, espresso and watermelon are the best imo

Would choose The Feed again
Online ordering was easy and the packets of Gel are what I expected. There was one issue; The packets had Gel on the outside that needed to be washed off and the carton cleaned out. All packets were intact though, not punctured, so the Gel must have come from a different source. The Feed gave me a credit toward my next order to compensate for my time spent resolving this.

Great New Flavor
This is a fun new flavor, it is very peachy and sour. I will definitely be buying more. I took on an extremely long effort and saved it until late in the day. It gave me something to look forward to, and it really delivered with a unique taste. It is a strong flavor, so I would probably want it as part of a variety of flavors on a long effort or it might be too much if I had to take a bunch of them.
