Quaker True Delights Raspberry Dark Chocolate Granola Bar

Friday, March 6th, 2009

Quaker‘s new True Delights Raspberry Dark Chocolate Granola Bar is one of the better things I’ve tasted lately.

The actual bar looks amazingly similar to this picture: huge chunks of dried raspberries and dark chocolate.  The raspberries are a bit tart and match perfectly with the raspberries and oats.  Yum.

It’s a bit more processed than most foods I eat.  Let’s check out the ingredients: WHOLE GRAIN ROLLED OATS, CORN SYRUP, SEMISWEET CHOCOLATE CHUNKS (SUGAR, CHOCOLATE LIQUOR, COCOA BUTTER, DEXTROSE, SOY LECITHIN, SALT, VANILLA), CRISP RICE (RICE FLOUR, SUGAR, MALT EXTRACT, SALT), ALMONDS, BROWN SUGAR, OLIGOFRUCTOSE, HONEY, DRIED SWEETENED RASPBERRIES (DRIED RED RASPBERRIES, SUGAR), INVERT SUGAR, SUNFLOWER OIL, GLYCERIN, COCONUT OIL. CONTAINS 2% OR LESS OF FREEZE DRIED RASPBERRIES, CORN SYRUP SOLIDS, FRUCTOSE, SORBITOL, WATER, SEA SALT, SOY LECITHIN, CINNAMON, NATURAL AND ARTIFICIAL FLAVOR, VANILLA EXTRACT, CARAMEL COLOR, NATURAL MIXED TOCOPHEROLS (ANTIOXIDANT), MALTODEXTRIN, WHEY, SODIUM CASEINATE.

Yeah, so maybe not a health food.  But definitely worth trying with the free sample and/or $1 off coupon.

Kashi Cookie: Free and on its way

Thursday, October 2nd, 2008

There are two types of people: those who order free samples of things and those who don’t.

I do, but I feel that I’m in the minority. I will gladly fill out an online survey or my mailing address in exchange for something free and fun to arrive in my mailbox. I’ve done this many times and derive quite a bit of satisfaction it.

I recently filled out an online form to receive a free Kashi cookie, and today I got an email to say that it’s on its way. I hope it’s the best cookie I’ve ever had. Though if not, it was free.
