I have been a bike rider and have eaten so many sports bars that over time are just too much sugar or have that belly bomb feeling. I love lemon as a flavor, these are just right chewy, moist without being sticky. No goopy handlebars after eating. Yes, you can open the package without needing scissors. Per package there and two smaller pieces, so depending on the length of my ride I have just enough to get me home. No belly bomb feeling either.
