It&#8217;s quite irksome to have the granola bar breaking down in my fingers and possibly causing pieces to fall on the floor; because my DustBuster no longer works, the maid service I use will no longer accept jobs from me due to &#8220;sexual harassment&#8221; issues and I don&#8217;t own a dog or goat that could eat it up off the floor.<\/p>\n<p>To solve this problem, perhaps there needs to be a (take a deep breath) Quaker Fiber, Omega-3, Antioxidants, Caffeine, B Vitamins, Minerals, Ginko Biloba, Fluoride and Elmer&#8217;s Glue Dark Chocolate Chunk Chewy Oat Granola Bar.<\/p>\n<p><small>(Nutrition Facts- 1 bar &#8211; 150 calories, 4 grams of fat, 2 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 1 gram polyunsaturated fat, 0.5 grams of monounsaturated fat, 0 milligrams of cholesterol,  35 milligrams of sodium, 26 grams of carbohydrates, 9 grams of fiber, 7 grams of sugar, 2 grams of protein and 4% iron.)<\/small><\/p>\n<p><b>Item:<\/b>  Quaker Fiber &#038; Omega-3 Dark Chocolate Chunk Chewy Oat Granola Bars<br \/>\n<b>Price:<\/b>  $3.49<br \/>\n<b>Size:<\/b>  5 bars<br \/>\n<b>Purchased at:<\/b>  Target<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b>  6 out of 10<br \/>\n<b>Pros:<\/b>  Good chocolate flavor.  35% of daily value of fiber.  320 milligrams of ALA Omega-3 fatty acids from flaxseed.
