Yesterday whilst leaving the gym I looked over and saw these free samples. They are Jelly Belly Sport Beans "Energizing Jelly Beans."I was intrigued so I picked up a pack and couldn't stop laughing. These are the most ridiculous things I have ever seen.Directions: "Energize with one pack 30 minutes before activity. Use additional beans as needed during activity to sustain energy level. Replenish with one pack after activity. Always consume with water."Ingredients: Sugar, Corn syrup, Contains 2% or less of the following: Natural flavor, thiamine hydrocloride, riboflaving, niacinamide, ascorbic acid, citric acid, citrus pectin, potassium citrate, sodium citrate, sodium lactate, beeswax, carnauba wax, confectioner's glaze, salt.I started laughing really hard cause they reminded me of the bean from Dragon Ball Z. I can just see some huge dude popping a few energy beans before his power SQUATZ!Pic Related- I got the Berry Blue flavor.
OP here- forgot to mention Nutrition Info:Amount per bag-Calories 100, 0 fat, 0 cholesterol, 80mg sodium, 40mg potassium, 25g carbs, 0 fiber, 19g sugar, 0 protein, 10% Vitamin C, 10% Thiamin, Riboflavin, and Niacin.
That's so ridiculous. Are they the same consistency/chewiness of regular jelly bellies? I'm imagining someone running with a mouthful of jelly beans trying to chew them down but they're TOO CHEWY.
Tried them. Chewy texture is chewy not in a good way.
Judging by the ingredients and nutritional information, isn't it about as effective as a candy bar or two?
I didn't actually eat them, I just picked up a bag cause I thought they were hilarious. I mean seriously can you imagine serious athletes running around popping jelly beans for energy?It's one of the silliest things ever.Also after the original post I found a little booklet that was taped on the back of the bag with little charts comparing it to water and energy drinks. Also a FAQ section with questions like "How should Sport Beans jelly beans be used?"
SPORT BEANZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
haha I can just imagine some huge dude doing SQUATZ!!! and going down, but can't quite get back up, straining under the weight of the 1500 pounds he's squatting and looks over to his spotter and says, "Give me one!" and the spotter pops a Sport Bean in his mouth and then the huge guy grunts loudly and stands the rest of the way up, thanks to the energy the sport bean provided him.SPORT BEANZZZ!!!!!!!
These would be good for marathon runners. I can't really see anyone else benefiting.
I like the Ocean Spray Craisin things.. that's about as close to candy as I'll get
>>87711I'm not even sure if they would benefit, its nothing but a sugar high.
i have some in the fruit punch flavor. haven't tried them yet...can't even remember where they are. :/
They have sports gel too, they're pretty much awesome. When going on forced marches in the Army, I'd shoot some into my mouth when I'd start gassing out.
Lol, sport beans.%98 Sugar/corn syrup :D :D :D
I've tried these. They don't do much for energy ROFL but honestly, they taste fucking good!! Flavor ftw.
Why the fuck don't you just pop some normal fucking jelly beans?
Senzu beans from Korin?
