As said, emergency bonk avoider, otherwise just eat properly, I know they're instant energy and thus (presumably) contain a fair amount of sugar, but I find them too cloying and sweet.
Energy gels.......

I always carry a couple for emergency use. If I start to bonk, I get the warning about ten minutes before it hits, the gels definetley work for me.
I've never found a need for anything else. Eat properly before leaving then bananas, cereal bar if some sort and when touring sensible lunch.

I only use them on long road rides and tough mtb rides. I bloody love the high5 zero drink but tend to use it for recovery more than fuel.
Gels are also great for hangovers

I should add that I was fortunate enough to get a LOT of Gels for free, I might feel differently about them when I have to start paying for them!
