New Savory Gels from GU

Even though I knew that the GU company had been tinkering with some new flavors and textures lately, I was still a bit surprised to receive the following e-mail from my contact person today:

Berkeley-based GU Energy's flavors have drastically changed to encompass a line of full meals. Venison anyone?

Attached to the e-mail was a link to this page:

Sounds yummy, doesn't it? You've had a craving for some nice pimento loaf at mile 21 of a marathon before, haven't you? And who wouldn't enjoy a portable helping of liver and onions from time to time?

As for me, my tastes run a little more gamey, so I ordered a pack of Venison Vengeance for my next trail adventures. With any luck, maybe I'll ingest a bit of deer DNA to help me run uphill faster. One can hope, anyway.

I just love it when companies have a good sense of humor.
