No not those Colombian energy products. Legal ones made entirely of fruit and sugar. Lucho Dillitos Bocadillos come wrapped in a leaf, are 85% Guava, 15% sugar, and nothing else. They have a sell by date set a year after manufacture, but apparently the shelf life is a great deal longer than that. Each block has 45Kcal for your legs (see below for nutrition information).
Described as a bar and a gel in one, Lucho Dillitos Bocadillos are manufactured in Colombia, and have been tested in 30C Hong Kong heat without breaking down or becoming gloopy. Bocadillos are apparently a traditional cycling food in Colombia, discovered by founder David Guthrie when he was reading about the history of cycling there. They sent this really excellent image:
They’re sending us some samples too, but if you have a burning hunger and curiosity right now, they’re available to buy in a few UK shops, as well as online at £16.99 for a box of twelve. Details here.
David: “Colombian energy products?”
Chipps: *raises eyebrow*
Barney: “I’m going to have a lot of fun with Fresh Goods when they come in.”

I am so disappointed it is not white…
I would check if the box is actually made of wood.

It looks like tablet but lacks the unhealthiness
Does it make you think everything you say is awesome even though everyone else thinks you’re talking shit?
I bought some at the NEC Show, it’s actually quite nice but it’s a bit of a ball ache to eat while riding.
Tomaso – so ideal for Fresh Goods Friday then!
