Anyone eat TOBLERONE bars on the bike?

A light bike doesn't replace good fitness.

Ive been eating the stinger waffles which are probably one of, if not the best tasting food ive eaten in my life.
I used to like the mike & ike sours which also were incredibly delicious and deff felt the horsepower from them and the amazing value of being only 1.24$ for a box but stopped due to rapid tooth decay which was strange, its like they had actual acid inside....

Anyways, looking at the label a Toblerone bar could be great on days that it wont melt on you and its super low sodium.

Err, no. Too much fat content.
Better to eat carbs, no?

Can't say I've ever thought to.
I appreciate the idea though! :)

Back in the day when I was a poor student and I bonked or whatever it is called, I would go and get a mars bar.
Not an ideal food though.

Chocolate? Bike riding? Sounds like a huge mess. Better to stop in a store vs carrying it in the back pocket.

Just bring a bottle of honey if you want to be cheap.

I enjoy chocolate as I do enjoy many foods in life, but high fat contents usually don't go great with intensive training. They literally make me want/need to throw up.

Liquid food (i.e. fructose/maltodextrin/electrolytes in your water bottle) is really the best option in most cases and can also be cheap if you make it yourself, but if that's not your jam.. For long races, I have been known to store a full block of marzipan (roughly cut into blocks that would yield ~80g carbs) in my top tube bag.
