[#11516076]

I ordered some Clif Bloks from here. It uses PayPal as I wasn't sure it was legit but they arrived today. March 2021 date. Super cheap for 18 packs worth (£40 on wiggle) - cheaper than Jelly Babies!

Ta. Wouldn’t worry about the use by date. I’m still on my use by Jan 2020 Bloks, and I’m ok 😁.
Edit-only ginger ale flavour left, that’s fine by me!

I guess it's a promo to get some traffic on the site? I don't normally bother with these things but it's cheaper than supermarket cereal bars at that price, picked some up.

Ordered. No idea what the ginger ale flavour is like, but prepared to try at that price!

Thanks for the PSA, never tried them before and I doubt I'll do a ride outdoors worthy of taking a bar before March, but worth a try for a fiver.

Outstanding!

Margarita are the only flavour I hadn't tried but was keeping my eye out for them.

Ginger ale are lovely too, shame they'd already sold out.

Yup, jumped on this too, always liked a bit of margarita on my ride..

As an aside, if you decide to add a bottle of exotic aloe vera hand-wash onto your order (because why not) it does something funny at checkout and says no delivery options on the bloks. More fool them.

Still, I'll be carbed up for the foreseeable..

no delivery options on the bloks

I think it's because each product comes direct from the respective manufacturer?

The blurb for the Clifbloks actually says:

"Pay the postage of £4.99 and get a FREE case of shot bloks worth £45!"

So technically they're giving them away! A loss leader I guess, try to get folks hooked. Will probably be the reverse, after munching 18 packs before March I'll probably never want another Clifblok again... 😀

4.99 to have my contact details harvested so I can eat some margaritas on every ride seems a bargain. ordered! lol.

The margarita ones are my favorite flavour though I know some peeps struggle with them being too salty, cheers for the post

Just in case anyone is reading this and wonders if these are gluten free, they aren't!

No gluten containing ingredients, but if you go on the website there is a may contain disclaimer.

I have 3 packets (free when you order from Condor cycles) that I can't eat!

Aye, cheers for the heads up. Never tried these as I'm a skinflint. 3 packs of margarita ordered for Mrs Davesport's Christmas. Guarantee she won't eat them at which point I'll swoop in & offer to take them off her hands :o) #TwoBirdsOneStone

3 packs? As in... 3 boxes or 44 packets? That's a lot of bloks if neither of you likes them! 😀

Someone in my club has confirmed that if they go out of date all that happens is they get slightly chewier. Probably fine then because he also warned the Margarita flavour is very salty, so best used on sweatier summer rides when hopefully they'll soften up again 😉

Well, my Bloks have arrived. 3 boxes of 18 marguerita flavour. How I'm ever going to eat all these is a mystery I've yet to unravel :o) Very nice flavour though, dated until 2021.

Thanks to @robbo1234biking for the PSA.

Move turned up yesterday, so fast I didn't know what the package was.
2 boxes of Bloks are surprisingly heavy!

Three boxes arrived this morning, so early the delivery driver work the dogs up!

Very impressed.

Just checked my order details, Paypal had randomly substituted 'Edinburgh' for 'Aberdeen' in my postal address! 🙁

Am hoping a correct postcode trumps an incorrect city in the address...

Well, I've hidden mine from Mrs Davesport & my grown offspring at the back of my wardrobe. I've got three boxes to get rid of before they go rotten. I'll probably just sit on my bed and eat them :o)

Best before Feb 2021. I'd love to use them just for riding but I'm sure some will be eaten just for fun.

Hmm... not sure I could eat them just as a snack, I combine them with Soreen and gels on rides as they sit in the middle of a spectrum which runs from least easily digested through to instantly digested 😎

Great psa thanks. Got five boxes, gonna sell a few to my mates I think as I can see it taking me 12 months to get through them all. The margarita ones are really nice to be fair and easy to eat on the bike

For anyone interested, they're still selling boxes of 18 packs for £4.99. (min order of 2 boxes to get free postage.)
Strawberry and Cherry flavours in stock.

I have been enjoying my Ginger Ale ones on rides, so thought I'd stock up on some more 😆
