Seems an odd time to voice such a concern since that has nothing to do with the topic of the thread *shrug*
But if we're just throwing out random concerns, I'm a bit worried that the Cubs rotation (Arrieta aside) may not be strong enough to get past the Cardinals.
I'm concerned with the current state of rabbit farts. This year's numbers are woefully low.0 -

I'm curious about this, too. Lately, I haven't enjoyed my quest bars as much and thought maybe I was just tired of them, but have they actually changed them? What a shame!
OP, I totally agree about the pumpkin flavor! My hopes were high, but Blechh and way too sweet. I am so glad I didn't buy the whole box.
ALL OF THEM NOW HAVE YUCKY SOLUBLE CORN FIBER AND SUCRALOSE. That is why they are so gross search "quest bar formula change" on here to read all about or just look at their facebook page where everyone is complaining.0 -

I do believe that any person making a choice within the context of a busy life as a matter of convenience, preference, or what have you does not preclude them from having the ability to know how to eat.
Context and balance. I think a certain poster here could remind himself that one food in an entire day doesn't sentence someone's whole diet to processed food hell.
Saying that? I'm switching to B-Up bars for when I need something quick on the go. They have both protein and recovery bars (a nice split between carbs and protein in these). I just can't handle the aftertaste in the new Quest formula, and the corn fiber leaves me feeling nauseated.
It's funny, I thought that Quest's Mint Chocolate Chunk flavor had an aftertaste and didn't realize the corn fiber was the problem all along.
SAME! I Never liked the mint or the smores much. I thought they both had weird aftertaste and texture.0 -

Have you ever tried Krush Bars? Similar macros and great taste (and better ingredients)!
I wish I could find these! They are unavailable on their website and amazon

Your diary is locked. We can't see how to properly eat.
This.
The Pumpkin flavor is alright, but definitely won't be buying another box.
Now the Combat Crunch Birthday Cake in the microwave=yum!0 -

Luckily I haven't had the displeasure of eating the reformulated CCCD bars yet. It's a shame since that's my favorite Quest flavor.0 -

Quest bars are a plastic-wrapped, processed food laden with preservatives and manufactured by a company.
Reading comprehension... Not even once.
Also, people who tend to make food choices out of convenience tend to make a regular habit of it. It is highly likely that the majority of their meals are comprised of moderate to highly processed "convenience" foods.
For those of you who did understand all that and yet still have something to bicker about, you're being way too literal. Yes, of course a ribeye steak and baby carrots are "produced" by companies... But from a nutritional standpoint, they are not equally comparable to highly processed sports candy bars or microwave meals. You should not prefer foods like this on a daily basis vs. actual food... Because, well, that isn't a rational diet

You are making a pretty broad generalization.
Most of the people I know who tend to eat Quest bars are competitive bodybuilders - the type who the majority of their meals are not comprised of "convenience" foods. The type who live off of lean proteins, brown rice and sweet potatos, and green vegetables.
It is possible for people to use some convenient foods without their whole diet being comprised of it. It doesn't have to be one or the other.0 -

Pretty much this. I'm a busy mother who's in the middle of moving right now. Sometimes during the day I'm busier than others. When I have time to poach an egg an make toast, I eat that. When I don't? I grab a protein bar.0 -

Exactly.
When I was working shift work I always carried one in case I got stuck without getting the ability to eat.
I also found them great for when I had a run after work. My 12 hour shifts meant it was a long time between lunch and supper even with a snack. I'd be ready for supper after work but can't run for awhile after eating. I found I could eat a Quest bar and run within an hour so it worked perfectly to hold me over until supper and still be able to run comfortably.0 -

I always carry one with me too. I have celiac disease and if we get stuck out of the house for a while for some reason and circumstances are such that I'm going to miss a meal, finding food isn't always easy for me. They're a nice option then.0 -
I bought two of the pumpkin bars at GNC. Both bars came from the same opened box, one was delicious the other was tooth-breaking hard. Maybe that Jaws guy from James Bond could eat it but not me.0
