Seems that PowerBar is using unfair tactics to promote its product:

But the attractive orange packaging has to count for something, doesn't it? :D

I thought the orange to go after the Basque population was tacky.

Really? The original ones? I just can't stomach them. It's all about Fig Newtons and Larabars for me...

Yes, the original ones. Vanilla Crisp is my favorite :p

I like the newer ones, too... (Ok, I don't like ALL of them... Don't like the chocolate ones (original), and there's one of the newer ones I don't like, don't remember the flavor.

I am still trying to figure out what the brown spot under her nose is. Or maybe I don't want to know.

i'm hoping its a shadow in that cute dimple between her nose and her upper lip...

and you guys stop it with the 'pomeranian' and 'eyes too far apart' and 'weirdly shaped features' and 'toothy' remarks...

you're talking about the woman i love....

Jeez, some of you guys better look like Brad Pitt, Matthew McConaughey, Juanes, John F. Kennedy Jr, Tom Cruise, and Sean Connery all-in-one with all the critizicing of the Powerbar chick.

That being said, I've had better...;)
