Hiking candy!

I was mixing up some poweraid at the house and neglected to grab the funnel I usually use. Some of the powder fell on the bottle instead of in it. Not wanting to be wasteful, I licked the powder off the rim of my water bottle and a light went off! :idea: I knew that taste! I tried some of the powder in the container and then matched it with my memory, Pixi Stix!! The powder (blue type) tasted just like pixi stix! I usually carry powdered poweraid on the trail just for mixing. I will probably include an extra baggie now in case I want a sweet treat. Has anyone else noticed this similarity? Also, what's your favorite non-perishable backpacking treat? 
My gosh, that is hard core! My favorite trail snack is jerky and trail mix
