Jelly Belly has a promo to introduce their new Sport Bean. You get a free water bottle with your order through the end of August.
Jelly Belly is touting the new bean as competition for Gu, Gatorade, ClifShot, etc. The self-reported numbers don't look too bad, especially against Gatorade. I had no idea Gatorade had so much sodium. Probably why Gatorade is also so sweet, to cover up the sodium flavor. I couldn't find the ingredients but the sugars can't be any worse than regular old strawberry jam which gets favorable ratings against the fancy gels.
WrenchBoy can be our test subject since he is a connoisseur of all things junk and sweet. It does worry me that his palate sometimes is not very discriminating. The man likes Circus Peanuts! Yuck! You know those pasty orange Styrofoam things? Ewwwwww. He does have other fine qualities and knows his way around derailleurs, a very important skill in my estimation (me, the drivetrain princess).
Stay tuned for a product report. WrenchBoy gets the beans and I get the bottle.

Hey! Nothing wrong with Circus Peanuts - second only to Marshmellow Peeps - properly aged of course!
You recommending aged Circus Peanuts? Aged Peeps I get, but don't the Peanuts just turn from orange Styrofoam to orange cement?
