    Honest question, as I had to try a few varieties after seeing so many people rave about them around here and I feel like I'm missing something.. do people really like these things for the taste or are they getting a boost because of their relatively superior nutritional stats?

    I've tried many different types of protein/energy/nutrition bars and can think of more than a few that taste much better imo. All I remember from the Quest flavors I tried was a strong artificial sweetener taste and a tired jaw. Or maybe I'm taking crazy pills.

    I've tried a few... and I have hated the fruity ones (including the cheesecake, white chocolate. etc). They tasted artifically sweetened and aspatamey. The cookie dough one is the only one I can stand to eat out of the wrapper, ana I found eating it warmed in the microwave for 10 seconds was amazing. I baked a double chocolate chunk one for 8 minutes at 350 made it taste like brownie. Those two flavors are now the only two I can recommend.

    I haven't tried the cinnamon one yet, but I want to next time I run into GNC.

    I would go with the strawberry cheesecake and the lemon cream pie.

    To me, you have to microwave them to make them edible. Can't even chew them otherwise. Warmed up they are pretty good.

    I feel the same way...

    If you email them, they will send you two free bars of whichever flavor (s) you want.
