\"PB_pure_and_simple_packaging\"<\/a>\"PB_pure_and_simple_product\"<\/a>The hunger\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6<\/p>\n

The Ba-Le sandwich I had for lunch wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t enough to carry me through to tonight\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s late dinner, so I grabbed a snack when I got into McBike. I didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t want to eat something big and spoil my appetite, so this smaller bar looked like the ticket. At about half the physical size and caloric count as most standard energy bars, this snack-sized bar had the added benefit of being made from recognizable whole grains and fruits \u00e2\u20ac\u201c more like a Clif Bar rather than the weird extruded robot food I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve come to expect inside a PowerBar wrapper. The flavor was mild and easy to take, sort-of like a lower-sugar version of the more common mass-marketed cereal\/whole grain bars. The packaging was easy to open, and the bar was gone in about four bites. These would probably be pretty good as ride food, since I have the tendency to eat only half of a standard bar per break. On the negative side though, you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d be generating more trash to keep track of, and the dollar value is a bit lack \u00e2\u20ac\u201c it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s about half of a standard bar in content, but not at half the price! That\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s the price of convenience and healthy content.<\/p>\n
