Having done those 4 hour 50ks myself .... nothing works better then 
defizzed coke and polycose.  Yup I add stuff to it.  Been many a time 
when that coke has saved my butt.  Though recently in preparation for 
the upcoming National 50k I tried using those frosting packs they give 
out with water and that went over pretty well too.  Still like my coke 
though.
