    To me they are slightly inferior Quest bars, but if you nuke them I can barely tell the difference. You can't beat the price either.

    Slightly inferior in what sense? Taste, texture, nutrition? Like you said, definitely can't beat $.90 vs $2. They're both 190 calories and 21g of protein. Kirkland has 2g less fat, 7g of fat compared to Quest's 9g. Kirkland has 1g extra fiber, 15g compared to Quest's 14g. Same net carbs. I'm taking a wild guess that you were comparing flavor since you mentioned not telling the difference once they are nuked?

    The only advantage Quest has over Kirkland is variety. Hopefully Costco will broaden their offerings at some point.

    They are in more stores now, they are ok I guess. Can't beat the price for the amount of protein. I prefer Soylent Food Bar or Joylent Twenny bar over these.

    These type of protein bars, especially Kirkland almost have a waxy texture to them. They do keep you full though, which is the point.

    They currently aren't available in Costco in UK, but I contacted them and they will hopefully have jumped through EU loops and be successfully added to UK Costco stores in November. Fingers crossed.

    I bought my first box at my local Costco last week and have been enjoying them quite a bit. Every bit the equivalent of the Quest bars in my opinion with the exception of variety. Two flavors in a box and that's it. I eat them every day for breakfast but the two flavors are getting a bit boring...
