I've been buying/consuming Clif Bars since the early days of being able to find them only in Bike/Sports shops and your local Trader Joes.
Back then they were sold only loose, boxed sales took off fairly quickly, and soon I found them at WinCo, then Fred Meyer stores (Oregon/Washington). Mid 2000's?

Back then 12 count boxes were always tightly packed, and the bars were NOT able to slide around inside like they do now, in the new 5 and 10 count boxes.
The bars are definitely smaller, as there's a big gap of about 1 inch along the long side and about 1/4 inch on the short side. (see attached pic)

So, yeah, the new gen bars are smaller, have less vitamins and minerals in them and ALOT of added sugars. Info on this fact can be found all over the internet with a simple Google search.

There's also a class action lawsuit in process with payout dividends for buyers within a certain timeframe. Payout is dependent on bar count purchased (more bars=higher payout) and only to customers that have receipts.

Now, it's time to find an alternative bar, that tastes as wonderful as the Clif Bars used to !


P.S. > I tried to post a pic of the current Cliff Bar box I have showing the big space gaps, but this being my 1st post, I don't have pic and link privileges yet.
