Most definitely a short-term, quick boost. But because they are small, easy to digest, and provide some electrolyte replacement they are good options for "snacks". Pretty "cost effecient" in terms of space/weight to benefit ratio.....as an added benefit the packages though small are pretty sturdy. So in an emergency/survival situation they could be utilized for something (rationing water/drinking "cup", used as a patch, etc.) It's all about the multi-tasking!
