KIND bars
« on: November 03, 2021, 03:20:39 PM »
Can't reccomend the KIND bars as a
ration to carry. Pretty dry and none of
the good tasting anything. No particular
appetite satisfaction that I could tell 
I'd have to go with a CLIFF bar if I were
given a choice of the two

Never heard of them either; looked at their websites, neither had a easy way to order that I can see.

 I've seen the Kind product, never tried them.

 For something more than a pop tart or granola bar the Cliff bars are pretty good.

Well I was recommended those as the last
word, and I did try them, but the word i got
was yuck. Pretty dry, and bland.  I'd as soon
buy the no-name granola bars at the dollar
store at a fraction of the price. The CLIFF
bars I tried were way opposite. Fairly
satisfying and not bad taste wise. Didn't
need near the water to wash it down like
the KIND bars.
Been looking for a while to find something
I can keep a few of for JIC after doctor's
appointments and for an emergency something
I could eat without having to stop and cook
and can eat and move at the same time

Aldi’s simply nature bagged granola is really good and lasts long past the expiration date.

I like sardines and crackers, or oysters and crackers.
I like the "Nature Valley" granola bars Linda picks up at Walmart. Sweet and salty are my favorite.

I over the years tried many of the latest, greatest, gotta have it, energy bars.

I finally came to the conclusion that they were like gun magazines.

In my younger years when settin up on a marijuana patch, or foot surveillance on a rural house I took a couple a small cans of beanie weenies, or the sardines, or oysters.
Couple a canteens of water, and more than one spare magazine.

Light, compact, and it worked out fine.

If I were younger in todays world, doing the same job. I'd eat the same, and maybe a couple a extra magazines more.

I found some of the aldi's so-called
energy bars that are about the same
price wise as their breakfast type
granola and cereal bars, and they're
good tasting and filling
As important to me, you can open
it and eat it and not break stride if
you're on the move and not have to
stop and heat it or add water or
make any extra noise other than
opening the package

my wife brought home some kind bars from the hospital. They were giving them away as part of a health week. About like eating hay with nuts in it. I keep plastic jugs of trail mix i get at walmart for emergencys. Its dried cranberrys cashews and almonds. Much better then any of those bars and probably healthier.

  ..Never heard of the KIND bars..  However, when my grandson was serving in Iraq..and most of the time.."outside the wire" serving , in "Indian country"..the wife and I kept him supplied with CLIFF bars.  He had no complaints about them.

To say the KIND bars are like hay
is being really nice
I imagine that the company is just
yuppie vegans that are used to eating
crap
The CLIFF bars I've had are good
and very edible, but expensive.
The bars I found at Aldi are very close
but less expensive and have the same
nutritional specs on the label

 Still haven't tried the KIND bars but I found something else.

 Cascadian Farm Organic honey roasted nut chewy bars. Local lo buck store had them & I got a box. Pretty good for something healthy. 12g protein per bar. Made from peanuts, pea protein, honey, peanut butter, almonds, tapioca syrup, tapioca starch, rice, sunflower oil & sea salt.

 Yeah I know the label doesn't sound like something you'd want to eat but it was pretty good.
