OTM. Lock thread.

― Hurting (Hurting), Saturday, 11 June 2005 19:05 (twenty years ago)

D: Icing.

Has anyone tried the one that has caffiene in it? What an amazing idea!

― Hurting (Hurting), Saturday, 11 June 2005 19:09 (twenty years ago)

WHOA. I need that.

― something about a tarantula coming out of a coconut (deangulberry), Saturday, 11 June 2005 19:15 (twenty years ago)

Apricot is pretty good.

― Hurting (Hurting), Saturday, 11 June 2005 19:33 (twenty years ago)

Chocolate Brownie and Oatmeal Raisin are alright, but I really think that Chocolate Chip is the only one that I could eat every day if I had to.

― something about a tarantula coming out of a coconut (deangulberry), Saturday, 11 June 2005 19:36 (twenty years ago)

I love apricot and carrot cake, but I must be odd because those are the most frequently not-carried flavors.

My all-time favorite is the no-longer-available Real Berry

― mikef (mfleming), Saturday, 11 June 2005 19:38 (twenty years ago)

Real Berry is a strange name -- does that mean that the other ones don't have real chocolate chips or real apricot?

― Hurting (Hurting), Saturday, 11 June 2005 19:39 (twenty years ago)

Oodwalla bars are better, they seem more like "real" food. And they have a really good berry bar, "berry go-mega" or something that I eat everyday for breakfast.

― stewart downes (sdownes), Saturday, 11 June 2005 20:22 (twenty years ago)

the chocolate chip clif bars are ok. they do the job in a pinch. but i'm partial to the oatmeal raisin and pumpkin pie bars.

destroy: apricot, and anything with icing. the pumpkin was disappointing.

― metal assembly (Jody Beth Rosen), Saturday, 11 June 2005 20:24 (twenty years ago)

odwalla bars are expensive, aren't they? i only buy clif and luna, which i get at trader joe's for 99 cents each.

― metal assembly (Jody Beth Rosen), Saturday, 11 June 2005 20:25 (twenty years ago)

pumpkin pie bars.

ack! i meant to say "carrot cake."

― metal assembly (Jody Beth Rosen), Saturday, 11 June 2005 20:26 (twenty years ago)

I get oodwalla bars at Trader Joes too. I can't remember how expensive they are though -- maybe $1.09?

― stewart downes (sdownes), Saturday, 11 June 2005 20:30 (twenty years ago)

fuck clif bars! all peanut'd out, tryin to kill me what with my allergy

― Gear! (can Jung shill it, Mu?) (Gear!), Saturday, 11 June 2005 20:31 (twenty years ago)

that's what it was - not gingerbread, but spiced pumpkin pie.

Chocolate Frosted Soy Bombs

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Saturday, 11 June 2005 22:41 (twenty years ago)

I'm telling you, caramel apple. Come fall I think I'll just tell the truck to swing by my house.
Several of the organic flavors are decent. I liked choc brownie, but could see it getting old quick.

― oops (Oops), Saturday, 11 June 2005 22:48 (twenty years ago)

ALL of these kinds of things are fucking gross.

― the D Double signal (nordicskilla), Saturday, 11 June 2005 23:13 (twenty years ago)

well duh

― oops (Oops), Saturday, 11 June 2005 23:13 (twenty years ago)

sorry

― the D Double signal (nordicskilla), Saturday, 11 June 2005 23:15 (twenty years ago)

I guess I'd eat them every day...if I were penned in and starving to death.

― bob n0pe (bobnope), Sunday, 12 June 2005 00:16 (twenty years ago)

I actually managed a sponsorship deal with them for 4 years, they are good people.

Chocolate peanut crunch is the best flavor by far. I've nearly lived on these. They used to have Chocolate Espresso, with crunchy cracked espresso beans laced throughout, and they were nice. I think they discontinued this flavor? I really liked Lemon Poppyseed despite the frosting, which is not appetizing in the heat. It was not a favorite of my teammates though. Carrot Cake had rabid enthusiasts.

Cookies 'n Cream is also good.

― Leeeeee (Leee), Sunday, 12 June 2005 02:18 (twenty years ago)

Caffeine CB is Mint Chocolate, btw.

― Leeeeee (Leee), Sunday, 12 June 2005 02:21 (twenty years ago)

And it's not very good.

― Leeeeee (Leee), Sunday, 12 June 2005 02:31 (twenty years ago)

oh yeah, i've tried those. thumbs down.

― metal assembly (Jody Beth Rosen), Sunday, 12 June 2005 02:41 (twenty years ago)

These make my insides all sticky.

― gygax! (gygax!), Monday, 13 June 2005 22:29 (twenty years ago)

Huh.

― something about a tarantula coming out of a coconut (deangulberry), Monday, 13 June 2005 22:40 (twenty years ago)

Aren't these for women? Or is that something else?

― the D Double signal (nordicskilla), Monday, 13 June 2005 22:42 (twenty years ago)

Clif Bar is HQed in Berkeley and is routinely named the best company to work for in California.

― kyle (akmonday), Monday, 13 June 2005 22:44 (twenty years ago)

what about POWERBAR

― the D Double signal (nordicskilla), Monday, 13 June 2005 22:46 (twenty years ago)

they have an ugly fucking sign downtown and everyone hates them

― kyle (akmonday), Monday, 13 June 2005 22:51 (twenty years ago)

You might as well eat a fuckin' pizza. Those health bars are bullshit in more ways than 2.

― healthman, Monday, 13 June 2005 22:54 (twenty years ago)

enjoying an oatmeal raisin clif bar right now!

xpost -- i like 'em because they're not made with corn syrup or any other heavily processed form of sugar. the sugar it's made with (evaporated cane juice) tastes more like what real, unfuckedwith sugar's supposed to taste like, so you need less of it to feel satisfied. hence, it's healthier.

― metal detective (Jody Beth Rosen), Monday, 13 June 2005 23:00 (twenty years ago)

and more to the point, they're cheap, convenient, light, and easy to eat.

― metal detective (Jody Beth Rosen), Monday, 13 June 2005 23:03 (twenty years ago)

I liked Tiger Milk. I haven't seen one in years tho.

― Jimmy Mod Is Great At Getting Us Into Trouble (ModJ), Monday, 13 June 2005 23:05 (twenty years ago)

they still sell tiger milk.

― metal detective (Jody Beth Rosen), Monday, 13 June 2005 23:06 (twenty years ago)

i had an oatmeal raisin one for breakfast this morning. it was pretty good.

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 14 June 2005 00:12 (twenty years ago)

two years pass...

"seasonal flavor" pear apple strudel is kicking my ass right now

― cutty, Friday, 5 October 2007 14:06 (eighteen years ago)

WANT

― Hurting 2, Friday, 5 October 2007 14:08 (eighteen years ago)

did anyone try Blueberry Crisp yet?

― Hurting 2, Friday, 5 October 2007 14:08 (eighteen years ago)

yes, i like it. one was in my car, all warm and sticky from the sun. maybe you should try heating one up.

― cutty, Friday, 5 October 2007 14:19 (eighteen years ago)

Blueberry crisp is good. Carrot cake is pretty good too, banana nut bread is oddly disappointing.

― Jordan, Friday, 5 October 2007 15:14 (eighteen years ago)

energy toaster-strudel

― Hurting 2, Friday, 5 October 2007 17:39 (eighteen years ago)

After the third bite they all begin to taste alike to me. Not bad, just fairly indistinguishable. (The carrot cake is the biggest exception to this rule. This may account for some of its popularity.)

― Aimless, Friday, 5 October 2007 17:43 (eighteen years ago)

They're really good with coffee/as a breakfast substitute. Kind of like a yuppie donut.

They're not good enough that I'd eat one at home when there's "real" food around, but they're pretty much the tastiest satisfying thing you can get at convenience stores.

― Hurting 2, Friday, 5 October 2007 17:45 (eighteen years ago)

I still don't understand why no one seems to make savory energy bars.

― Hurting 2, Friday, 5 October 2007 17:45 (eighteen years ago)

...because there's already beef jerky in the world?

― Laurel, Friday, 5 October 2007 17:47 (eighteen years ago)

I've never had beef jerky - is that weird?

― Hurting 2, Friday, 5 October 2007 17:55 (eighteen years ago)

― Jordan, Friday, 5 October 2007 17:56 (eighteen years ago)

whoa

― Hurting 2, Friday, 5 October 2007 17:59 (eighteen years ago)

I would eat a savory vegetarian energy bar.

― jaymc, Friday, 5 October 2007 18:23 (eighteen years ago)

Also, I only buy Clif bars from 7-11, so I have never seen these wacky pie and strudel flavors. Interested.

― jaymc, Friday, 5 October 2007 18:24 (eighteen years ago)

hurting, yes it is weird.

― chaki, Friday, 5 October 2007 18:30 (eighteen years ago)

Kind of like a yuppie donut.

or a yuppie candy bar.

― Steve Shasta, Friday, 5 October 2007 18:33 (eighteen years ago)

never seen them at a gas station. carrot cake is best.

― artdamages, Friday, 5 October 2007 18:35 (eighteen years ago)

when you realize you haven't eaten a banana, shouldn't you go out and eat a banana? or a banana nut-bread cliffy

― cutty, Friday, 5 October 2007 18:36 (eighteen years ago)

also: http://www.veganstore.com/images/products/791-L.jpg

― artdamages, Friday, 5 October 2007 18:36 (eighteen years ago)

why do you need to eat a banana?

― artdamages, Friday, 5 October 2007 18:36 (eighteen years ago)

is it gay for a guy to eat a luna bar?

― chaki, Friday, 5 October 2007 18:37 (eighteen years ago)

i have been too scared to find out. do they have estrogen in them? i think they have a version for dudes though.

― artdamages, Friday, 5 October 2007 18:41 (eighteen years ago)

I was at a bike shop the other day and they had more kinds of bars than I had ever seen in one place. I got excited about some of the Luna flavors (chocolate pecan pie!) and then got sad because they are for women, not me. :(

― Jordan, Friday, 5 October 2007 18:42 (eighteen years ago)

are they called tep bars?

― chaki, Friday, 5 October 2007 18:42 (eighteen years ago)

i think they have a version for dudes though.

Yeah, they're called Clif Bars

― Hurting 2, Friday, 5 October 2007 18:44 (eighteen years ago)

LUNA Basics

Why create a bar only for women?
Many women fail to get adequate vitamins and minerals on a daily basis. LUNA bar was created to help women get more of the nutrients often lacking in their meal plans while being 100% natural and as organic as possible. That’s why LUNA bar contains ingredients, like folic acid, soy protein, calcium, vitamins and minerals that are essential to a woman’s everyday nutritional needs. As women ourselves, we understand the importance of maintaining overall health and wellness.

Can men eat LUNA bars too?
Men too can enjoy LUNA bars! There is nothing in a LUNA bar that is not good for men. However, LUNA bars are specifically formulated to provide women with the nutrients that are often harder for them to get.

― artdamages, Friday, 5 October 2007 18:46 (eighteen years ago)

Oh, I had a couple Lara Bars recently: good stuff. They taste a lot healthier and more natural than most energy bars.

― jaymc, Friday, 5 October 2007 18:46 (eighteen years ago)

So Luna is strong enough for a man but Ph balanced for a woman

― Hurting 2, Friday, 5 October 2007 18:46 (eighteen years ago)

i think they have a version for dudes though.

oh, right. i guess cliff bars owns luna bars. or something. still i dont think cliff bars are specially formulated.

― artdamages, Friday, 5 October 2007 18:47 (eighteen years ago)

Can men eat...?

― jaymc, Friday, 5 October 2007 18:47 (eighteen years ago)

i think luna bars are good for when you have a yeast infection

― artdamages, Friday, 5 October 2007 18:47 (eighteen years ago)

i was gonna buy some Curves cereal because it was on sale, but i decided against it.

― artdamages, Friday, 5 October 2007 18:50 (eighteen years ago)

There's a bakery in Minneapolis that makes "men's bread" and "women's bread", and the women's bread has estrogen. :/

― Jordan, Friday, 5 October 2007 18:50 (eighteen years ago)

i also sometimes get the impression that, based on the marketing, yogurt is only for women, but clearly i have some issues w/food and sex.

― artdamages, Friday, 5 October 2007 18:51 (eighteen years ago)

yogurt is so good tho

― Hurting 2, Friday, 5 October 2007 18:51 (eighteen years ago)

Plain yogurt anyway. Fruit yogurt is basically pudding disguised as health food.

― Hurting 2, Friday, 5 October 2007 18:51 (eighteen years ago)

French Meadow. Yeah thats a great place. flourless chocolate tortes are the best. they got in trouble a few years ago for having hemp in some of their bread.

― artdamages, Friday, 5 October 2007 18:52 (eighteen years ago)

I'm a little embarassed to admit I've only had FM in the Mpls airport, but it's so much better than any other airport food ever.

Vanilla yogurt is the best yogurt.

― Jordan, Friday, 5 October 2007 18:57 (eighteen years ago)

French Meadow = super awesome.

― John Justen, Friday, 5 October 2007 19:43 (eighteen years ago)

oh man I had that pear apple cobbler one when I was in Jackson, WY. my favorite so far (usually a clif bar and a banana is my breakfast). haven't been able to find them around here though dammit.
no love for the black cherry almond?

WANT

― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Saturday, 6 October 2007 02:05 (eighteen years ago)

i would eat a sweet and sour pork energy bar

― rrrobyn, Saturday, 6 October 2007 12:57 (eighteen years ago)

but really i'd eat an 'energy bar' that wasn't full of basically soy protein isolate and sugar
but partly b/c both those ingredients hurt my system
partly b/c wtf i don't care how organic that shit is, it's weird
but y'know i just started working f-t and packaged food is so easy and you don't have to think abt it, you just grab it. which obv is one of the problems with the world right now but damn i mean i don't even know when i'm going to get a chance to do my laundry :/

i would like a bar made out of like vat-grown meat that's has no flavour in itself but has flavour added and that flavour is like salmon maki or thai red curry or butter tarts or whatever. or no, wait, i don't really want to ruin those things, so maybe it should just taste like nothing. like blankness.

one year passes...

Ate these for the first time today and I totally loved it. Oatmeal Raisin & Walnut flavour. Are they readily obtainable in the UK or prohibitively expensive? I'm going to need to relive that eating experience.

Although it is rather pricey, the Lara Bar lays all competitors in the dust.

Proof of the pudding is in the eating. Buy one (~$1.50) and partake of it.
