At my last race I put Hammer gel in a flask. Like all gel it is thick stuff. When I pulled the flask to suck it up, it got kinda sketchy:
Holding handlebar with left hand only, sitting up with gel flask held high, waiting for the gel flow. Holding only the front brake. Accident waiting to happen.

A why didn't I think of that suggestion:
Will definitely try that out

DILUTE THE STUFF a little! It helps a lot to get it down when it's not super thick, like some of the Clif Shots and the PowerBar gels I like. Typically I'll put 3-4 packets in, then a bit of water, use a chopstick like device to mix it all up, then when it's a little stirred - it's "shakeable".
Will definitely try that out
