Favorite GU Flavor

Mint Choc is the way to go!!

I voted for chocolate, but I also like the mint choc and blackberry.  Hard to pick just one.  I'm not a huge fan of the vanilla; it had a strange chemical taste, IMO.

Mint chocolate is closely followed by Espresso Love then Chocolate Outrage.
I am not a fan of the fruity flavors, too sweet for me.

Vanilla is nice and bland...

I could swear I have lime, and that's pretty good too.

I voted for Orange but I also like TriBerry.  I cannot do any other flavors...

Espresso Love! Chocolate Outrage, Chocolate Mint & Jet Blackberry! Just like dessert.

i'm surprised to see so many people are fans of mint choco - i would've thought for sure that'd be the least favorite. 

Mmmmm Chocolate-Outrage-Might-As-Well-Be-Called-Brownie-Batter GU!!!!

My favorite is Just Plain which you don't have listed followed by Vanilla Gingerbread and Mint Chocolate.

The new Hammer blueberry is YUMMMMY!

blast. I tried searching before posting and didn't see this thread. thanks for the info. 

I vote vanilla!

I don't like real sweet stuff when exercising so in that sense you'd think the espresso would be good, but personally I think it's nasty when it gets hot.  Not good for long rides in the heat.  Vanilla isn't too sweet and I think it's tasty even when it's all hot from being in my pocket.

However before I head out I like to have chocolate honey stingers.

My wife and I both like the "Chocolate Outrage."  Second choice for me is "Espresso Love," followed by "Tri Berry."  (She also likes "Tri Berry.")

Of course, my favorite wasn't in the poll...

I pretty much stick with Vanilla in all brands.  Occasionally I will branch out and have some chocolate.  I'm not a GU girl though; I prefer PowerBar gels.

ETA:  Saw the Vanilla Gingerbread mentioned above.  That flavor should be offered year-round.  It's ridiculously good and could probably turn me into a GU girl!

Another vote for Just Plain here-good stuff!

I voted Vanilla but love Gingerbread!!  I'll buy up the entire stock of gingerbread gels and Clif bars when they're in season!

Oh no, think girl scout cookie thin mints.  YUMMY GOODNESS

Note that some flavours have caffine, some don't and some like espresso have x2.  For me I take caffine later in the race so espresso then, I think mint choco has no caf so it's better for the start.

Jet Blackberry!  And I actually really like Lemon Sublime, although no one else seems too.  Mint Chocolate is good too.

I like the fruit flavors - eating dessert-y GU flavors in 102* just doesn't appeal to me.

My favorite is the Lemon Sublime, followed by Jet Blackberry, and then the Orange Burst (I think that's what it's called).

I vote orange.  Vanilla is foul! 

Plain is the best.  No foul taste, just a bit of sugary sweetness!

Just switched from the Vanilla to the Jet Blackberry. Yum. It's like getting a shot of grape jelly in your mouth. (Is that weird?)

The chocolate is good, but on a long run it feels like I'm eating a hot, sticky, melted candy bar. That's not really what I'm looking for during a training session.
