taikoG – Yeah, it probably was, I just didn’t have enough ENERGY to add the sexual references.

nat – If they were, I think we would see them at Home Depot. ;-)

Ken – Yes, I like saying along with Ron, “Set it and forget it!”

Kaya – Imagine if the chocolate and caramel were real, then they would have to call it Snickers.

Nothing puts the POWER in a power bar than fake chocolate and caramel.

While I’m not a fan of the Powerbar, they have been much more enjoyable in recent years than George Lucas.

Those Bowflex commercials are certainly hard to remain conscious during, aren’t they? I’m personally a fan of infomercials of Ronco products. They make me hungry with all that food they throw in that damn rotissirie

Power Bars are all really made up of flavored sawdust, right?

SEV – Yeah, but I’m used to that cycle. As a kid, I got glasses to make me look intelligent, but they made bullies want to beat me up.

Golf Grouch – Hmm…I haven’t seen those, but I’ll give them a try if I do find them. Thanks for the tip.

Bryan – I think it’s all of the above.

Kent Tell – I bet everyone thinks I’m a perv. Maybe I should change my name to Mervo so everyone can call me Mervo the Pervo. ::tear:: Oh well, I’m sure I’ll make up for the sexual references in another review.

Chris – It’s got 230 calories per bar. Which is not quite enough energy to (insert sexual reference here).

Megan – From the outside it looks like any other chocolate candy bar. So it looks good, but just doesn’t taste good. As for lack of sex references, I promise that a future review will have double the sex references.

celebrate woo-woo – Try it if you must, but I shall warn you that you may not enjoy it.

Amy in GA – You know, I just don’t want to seem like a pervert ALL THE TIME.

Becky – I have two more days of energy product reviews, so I have plenty of time to throw in sex references.

Chuck – Your “Triple Threat” is better than mine, which consists of slouching, hairy nipples, and a unibrow.

Bottom Feeder – But there’s vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber. So it’s not a bad candy bar, it’s a bad healthy energy bar.

Great review Marvo.
I actually found it refreshing that you didn’t force in a sexual reference. (too much of a good thing can be bad too)
Did it say on the packaging how many calories are in the bar?

So let me see if I got this straight. You are suggesting that staying awake during an infomercial is a good thing?
Also when I got to the end of the post I was like what no sexual reference and their it was in the first response, then others so I won’t even mention the lack of sexual connotations here.

I actually like fruit filled chocolate, so maybe I should try this one even if it is badly named… isn’t Triple Threat some sort of wrestler? Or rapper… I dunno i get them all confused.

I’ve tried a lot of energy bars and the best tasting are Promax. Try the Promax Black Forest Cake. It’s better than most candy bars.
