The best way to realize how bad power bars really are is to go for a 6 hour ride and follow the 200-260 calorie per hour rule.
In the first hour take in a power bar, at the start of the second hour take in a power bar. Then at the start of the third hour take in a cliff bar then switch back and forth for the rest of the ride.
Then...only use Hammer products.

Power Bars are great...for repairing holes in drywall.

Been there done that, all sugars/carbohydrates are not equal. Just because a power bar, snickers bar, cliff bar, and hammer bar have near the same amounts of sugar and calories does not mean they'll be absorbed the same by your body.

These days I'm all perpetuem if I'm going out longer than 3 hours, I'm over solid foods. I gotta say Hammer Bars are too damn expensive outside of a couple a month.

You gonna eat that?
There's a Recall Announcements forum, you know. I'm sure the mods will be moving this thread over there.
Any minute now.
Really.
