Quest Bars?

I've heard tons and tons over and over again about quest bars, about how amazingly good they are (baked toasted microwaved raw etc etc).
I finally got my hands on some.
I tried the cookies and cream, cookie dough, s'mores and white chocolate raspberry.

They weren't as good as I thought they would be- at all. They weren't bad, but they had such a strong proteiny after taste at the end (which didn't suck) but I didn't really LOVE them.

Is there anyone else out there who didn't really like quest bars or is it just me? (My sister thinks I'm crazy, she loves them).

    yeah besides the fact that they currently don't fit in my budget once I got in my hands in them yeahhh it wasn't the big bomb that many describe and I even tried the whole 10 seconds in the microwave.

    I'm kind of the same way. I can take them or leave them. I'm not super big on sweets so that may be why though.

    I have never tried one but like you I hear about them all the time.. well, the store had them on sale 10for10, which I don't even know if that is a "sale price"..lol.. I picked up a couple to try, but haven't yet. Good to hear they weren't disgusting just mehhh.

    I didn't even think to heat them, I assumed like granola bar, raw.

    Yep, I haven't found I like either. Had maybe 4-5 different flavors. The good macros just aren't worth the nastiness for me.

    Gah I hate quest bars. Try muscle pharms combat crunch bars. So much tastier and pretty much the same macros

    I've never had them either, was curious what all the hype was about. I'm a LaraBar girl. Every day.

    The Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough was the one I got hooked on, it is the texture of cookie dough, so it worked for me.
    I did find that eating too many can lead to way too much restroom time!

    They don't suck, but they weren't half up to what I expected. I would eat them for the protein if I couldn't find an alternative though.
