would it taste like what I ate this morning?
I can only assume so.. seeing as the gelatinous substance in the vaguely shark shape that stuck to my teeth like super glue had a package saying the Sharkies were Watermelon Scream flavor. Sharkies have the carbs (aka sugar), sodium and potassium a person would need on a long run. I didn't have my usual PowerGels with me and tried to find a "gel" type thing for my long run this morning. Thus the Sharkies.
Back to the flavor.. it didn't really taste like watermelon. Or anything in particular. It didn't taste good, but when you're running, "good" is relative and sometimes not significant. It met a need and it didn't upset my stomach (which is even more important when running).
Reading the info on the Sharkies website it looks like a good product, natural sugars and electrolytes for instance. As long as the taste and the sticking to the teeth bit doesn't bother too much, I'll go ahead and keep using what I purchased. I don't know if I'll buy more though.

I've tried the Sharkies and used some a few weeks ago when I was out of gel. I liked the taste but I hate hate hate the sticking to the teeth thing. I'll tolerate the bad taste of the goo to avoid that. But some people won't touch gel to save their lives, so to each our own, eh?
Tom and I have decided the sticking to the teeth thing is from the rice syrup that they use. If you've ever had rice based candies from Japan, you'll recognize the feeling. Its weird. But yes, to each his/her own.
