7 of 28
"I like banana, but when promised an accompanying strawberry flavor, I demand it. Banana dominates your palate. So if you're into that, I'd say go for it. This is for the person who goes for the banana instead of the cookie at the finish line. Which is fine, but not when I could have gotten strawberry too. I'll use it, but I won't be as happy about it as I could be."—Drew Dawson, Editorial Assistant, Bicycling

"Imagine toasting a fluffy white marshmallow over a crackling fire. Sparks spiral upward from the flames. A distant coyote howls mournfully. The mallow is perfectly golden and crisp with a liquid center. You sandwich it carefully between two flakey graham crackers and a slab of rich chocolate. It slowly melts from the heat of the marshmallow. Then you throw the whole thing in a blender and drink it. That's what this is."—Derek Call, Associate Video Producer, Runner's World
