I'm laughing already about Jack calling the muesli mix 'something a bit more austere.' But yeah, after the nut butter bar, I can see it. And with those nut butter ones, you have to get a bite out of the middle of the bar, where the nut butter is like the deep end of a swimming pool. Delicious. Okay, I'll watch the rest of this now and thanks, Jack and Matthew, for this taste test, and I say that as a big fan of Clif Bars.

Fun fact, your Alpine Muesli is branded as Sierra Trail mix in the US. Also, I went on the clif website to confirm and the US has so many more flavors!

Makes sense, muesli isn't very well known here, and I don't think Sierra means much there either.

Those nut butter filled ones are a staple on long rides for me, they are delicious but more importantly moist enough to eat on the saddle, whereas the "normal" clifs are too dry for my taste (and needs to be eaten with plenty of water)

A note on gels - if it’s not labelled “isotonic” like SiS gels, then you need to have the gel AND about 250ml of water to avoid gut issues. Whereas the SiS gels don’t require any additional fluids when consuming them.

@Mububban234 жыл бұрын
I use SiS gels and bars, but much prefer the Clif bars for taste. The SiS bars feel much drier and simply don’t taste that good. They taste like a sports product used for data-driven results, whereas Clif bars are tasty enough to eat as a genuine snack. I use a top tube bag on long rides so I cut my bars into 6-8 small pieces so I can grab a small bite without reaching into a jersey pocket and fiddling with wrappers while riding (I use a ziploc bag, opened, inside the top tube bag). Gels are easily ripped open with one hand and teeth, but not bar wrappers in my experience.

I used to eat White choc macadamia clif bars all the time, then I tried Blue berry and then the white choc just felt sickly to me so I was eating blue berry bars all the time, even got my dad hooked on them, almost eating 1 a day, then they just started feeling too sweet. Now im on peanut butter clif bar and also filled bar if I can get cheap. I think gels and especially the bloks are a rip off. Here in Australia they want like $5 Aud for the bloks and $2.50 for the gels. I dont understand why they are more expensive then Clif Bars? I get bars for $2 - 3 dollars. I would have the blocks all the time if they were maybe $1 - 1.50 Aud and 70c for a gel.
