Not pie
Dan, I am adressing this post to you because it’s all your fault.
I needed a little something to top off my lunch and grabbed ‘America’s Protein Bar’ which Bert had brought back from Boston without eating. Dan gave it to him in case he got hungry on the drive up.
Bert didn’t get that hungry.
I did.
It tastes nothing like the professed ‘country blueberry pie’.
It tastes like melted gummy bears, flat coke and chalk all mixed together. For those of you who are thinking ‘yum’ you’re not getting it. It is not ‘yum’.
And the colours are completely unnatural. You know the grape in the fruit of the loom commercial - the ‘blueberry’ topping is way more purple than that. In fact it vaguely resembles the purple pen in a pack of scented markers.
Dan I appreciate that you didn’t want my husband to starve to death but next time can you give him a donut instead.
My brother once gave me an energy bar “in case of an emergency”. I told him it would have to be a pretty bad emergency for me to eat that bar. He said I had it wrong, you don’t eat the bar, you shape it into a knife and then stab someone who has real food.
Hmm…I must confess to never having tried one of those particular protein bars myself. It was a new product, you see, promoted in all it’s glory in a rather eye-catching display case. How could I say no?
Well, I suppose had the marketing material described the flavour as
dang xhtml…forgot to close the loop, so it quoted the wrong section and ommitted the line I was trying to quote in the first place…which was:
