Im not sure if they changed it, but it is the thickest of all the gels i’ve used.
I haven’t had the Chocolate or Vanilla from this year yet, but the Key Lime and Rasberry Cream are definitely thicker than the older versions of Chocolate and Vanilla.
Hopefully the Vanilla test hasn’t changes as that stuff is just awesome. Definitely the crack of the sports gel world.
Yes, there have been some (good) changes made to Accel Gel. Accel Gel no longer contains high fructose corn syrup and as a result, you get better carbs than in the older formula. The gel does stiffen when it’s in the package (as you pointed out), but if you press the package, it goes back to the soft gel texture.
Hope that helps!

Yeah, the new version is MUCH thicker (now thicker than GU). It’s 1/2 way between tootpaste and caulk. For the packets that’s fine, but there is no way to easily squeeze it out of a flask w/o cutting it with water.
