I tried the Think Thin salted caramel bar instead of my usual quest bar. All I have to say is bleck. Some people might like them but for for less protein, less fiber, and more sugar for a few less calories is not worth it to me. I will never stray from my beloved quest bars again.

    Seriously. Those are disgusting. There's no salt, no caramel - just some brown supposed to be chocolate like substance covering a piece of cardboard. :s

    All the think thin bars give me gas problems. This is my TMI moment of the day.

    Also, I'm real tired of food companies calling something "salted caramel" when it tastes of neither salt nor caramel. that just makes me angry. I'm a little hangry today.

    I'd heard good things about Think Thin bars so tried a few flavors of the higher protein ones and....nope! I think it's the chocolate coating I didn't like.

    I like Quest bars and I'm looking forward to trying out the new formula when I'm done with my current supply because of the lower fiber count. :)

    Exactly! Awful "chocolate" coating.

    Oh great now it might even give me gas. That's just perfect.

    I agree if it doesn't taste like caramel or salt don't call it that.

    I also didn't like that it was kind of crunchy.

    I'm ok with crunchy but this mean they can't be microwaved or baked anymore?

    I am sorry I meant the think thin Bar was crunchy. The only quest bar I had since the formula change was White chocolate raspberry and it tasted the same and had the same texture to me.

    LOL ok. I actually thought someone on another thread had mentioned the textured changed too so jumped on my question in here. :)

    But, yeah, Think Thin was pretty crunchy!

    They actually came out with mini Think Thin bites which is a good idea but....maybe in a Quest or Pure Protein bar instead.

    That is a really good Idea. Quest should start doing that.

    The time I tried a Pure Protein s'mores bar I had to spit it out, and I threw out the rest. Tasted like vomit.

    I think they're different now though... I loved their soft baked bars but I only saw them around a couple months unfortunately.

    The only pure protein bar I really like is the chewy chocolate chip.

    I like mini/bite sized anythings tho. It's like you get more for the same amount of calories!

    I'm so sick of you people and your quest bars. You are like a cult. At least have the decency to send me one to try over here in new zealand.
  • Think thin bars are gross. They made me bloat to the point where it literally made me look pregnant. I thought something was wrong with me until I made the connection. I would not recommend to anyone!
