I loooove the stuff. It's the only bar type food I can eat while on a hard ride. I just don't have the appetite for heavy, gooey bars that require a lot of chewing. The Stingers are super tasty, light and goes down easy but it's very fragile. I end up breaking them while riding and esp. trying to tear open the pkg w/ one hand my teeth. I'm sure the birds love to follow me around to eat the shards and crumbs that I drop. However, my friend does not seem to have this issue or he doesn't complain about it :-)
I'll still buy these because I have not found anything better and at least I don't have to force feed myself like some of the other bars. To me the best nutrient while riding is the ones you'll actually eat!
The perfect fuel source for endurance sports. Provides an efficient influx of simple glucose that is easy on the stomach and taste great. The form factor is excellent- you can easily stack 5 or 6 of them in a pocket and ensure that you have enough fuel for as many hours as you plan to ride.
Only ride food Ive found that tastes better as it warms up in your jersey pocket.
A tasty pick-me -up that doesn't take up space in my jersey pocket.
I had enjoyed Honey Stingers a year ago, but the new organic version is really disappointing. Hard - no, impossible - to open while moving, so I rip the package open before the ride. No big deal, but these wafers are dry and they crumble when I try to eat them. I guess I lose one-third of each wafer as it falls apart and onto the asphalt. I really miss the honey-like consistency of the original, and won't get these again.
These taste great. I admit I'm not sure whether they actually "work", but I haven't bonked since eating these when stopping for a break. They are also so easy to carry since they're flat and don't melt in hot weather.
I need strawberry to restock please! These are delicious. Easy to eat on the bike and keeps me fueled for short and long days alike.
I find these waffles a lot more satisfying than your typical gels (and even most bars), but they are a bit bulky in the jersey pocket. If you're only going to carry one or two, they're a nice change from gels and chews, but if you're doing a long ride, it's hard to carry enough to get the calories needed.
I'd definitely recommend them as a nice option to other products.
Sure I try other on-bike fuel and carry others with me, but I ALWAYS have several honey stingers in honey flavor with me on the long rides. Taste wonderful. Easy to chew and swallow. Easy on the stomach. When combined with a different form of carb the absorption and energy production is great. Have tried vanilla but for me the honey flavor is the most natural and satisfying taste.
Tastes great. And gives a nice boost. But doesn't last as long as shot blocks, etc. in terms of extended energy. Get em as that tasty snack to go with that nasty (more powerful) gel.
If you like Honey Stinger waffles and also the flavor strawberry, then you will simply like these. Nothing voluminous to write about here folks. Great nutrition to stow in your jersey for longer rides for that sinking spell. Like I said, you like their waffles and strawberry, you will be happy with this item.
Honey Stinger is a great treat during my rides. It is tasty, filling and easy to carry. I often spread some peanut butter on it at an organized ride. Yummy!
Great shot of energy
I have never tired of these waffles. On long rides, I particularly like the waffle because it is more substantial than blocks or gels. Honey Stinger has perfected the taste and therefore the waffles are a staple in my riding nutrition.
Use to stop bonking, works the best for me. Crumbs are annoying so I'll switch to gummies for commuting. But for rides these are the best.
Great taste great energy
The waffles are easy to pack, taste really good and they have a nice satisfying chewy texture. They tend to get hard in the cold so I keep them in my jersey pocket to keep them soft.
Tasty. Nice snack for a rest stop. Too hard to open package when riding. Waffles have a tendency to crumble.
Easy to pack and very tasty. I eat them as a quick snack even when I am not riding. They do get hard in the winter so I put them under my riding jacket to keep them soft and chewy.
Flat waffles just make sense for a hard training day on the bike; but wish they made the packaging easier to open, it takes scissors to start a tear.
