According to a new interview with VALVe programmers:

Quote:
Portal 2 was originally going to feature five main gels: Repulsion, Propulsion, Adhesion, Conversion, and a fifth as-yet-unnamed type. After activating Pump Station Delta and Adhesion Gel, an extra underground testing track would have contained Pump Station Epsilon and 'Gel Epsilon.' "Aperture originally created this Gel E as a healthy sandwich spread, which would also provide energy...[snip]

EDIT:
Apparently there's a post length limit, full interview here: http://tinyurl.com/2g9mqh

Alas, your evil plan was exposed prematurely by my tinyurl previewer.

No, that one's already been mentioned, the 'adhesion' gel

I thought it was real until I realized that it was the first of April.

Yeah, but this gel would make it six? Wouldn't it?

Not that it matters though xD

Hmmm, no? It's our 3 (conversion, propulsion and repulsion), the adhesion one ("sticky" gel), and this fifth "epsilon" gel

Nope we're forgetting reflection gel

(according to valve this wasn't even intended to be in the game anyways, it should've been cut. So yeah even though it's an april fools joke there is a fifth gel that should have been cut
