Nutrition help needed

I was reading the nutrition section and there was a comment about eating glass before eating a bonk breaker bar. What is up with that? I used it during IMCDA and I was not able to finish. Also does someone use UCAN here?

Was your DNF due to GI issues? I just replied on the dashboard but the bonk breakers have a fair amount of fat/fiber which can cause issues.

My one and only real try at these was about two years ago. They went down and tasted fine prior to workouts etc, but then when I used one in a race it gave me more GI issues than I've ever had before. Not sure if it was just a bad day in general, if the bonk breaker mixed with the lake water or what, but it was bad. I took one in during the first hour of a HIM and couldn't force down any more calories in the next couple of hours. I pulled the plug halfway into the run.
