You guys crack me up...you moved to the batcave because this moved too fast. Now that moves too fast. You'll end up just switching back and forth. I start here always. Its my first love.
I always start here, POF. I visit the bat cave every day or every other day, but I am here every day.
I do it the other way around.....I was surprised there was 90 posts here today!0 -

Ohhh, bet I'd love those! And I'm just as sure I'd never find any sold near me.
Someone I follow on Instagram is sponsored by them (or just wants to be lol). I had never heard of them, and I'm sure they won't be sold near me either - or they'd be super expensive. Maybe I'll take a look though.
If they're at GNC in the States they might be here too, and I plan to find out because birthday cake flavour is my kryptonite. I don't even like cake that much but there's something about artificial-vanilla-flavoured stuff that gets me every time. Might be the sprinkles. Lol.
I guess I'm the opposite. I love cake and frosting and I'm not picky! I'll even eat the cheap grocery store cake. But I don't like birthday cake flavored stuff. The birthday cake oreos in my cupboard are safe from me
ETA the lemon oreos, however, should be scared
Those are my favorite!0 -

Same here. That also holds true for scented candles and body lotions.
Yep! My perfume smells like dessert too - it's allegedly fruity too ("Vanille Abricot" from Comptoir Sud Pacifique) but it just smells like sugar to most people. I occasionally hear things like "Hmm, something smells like cupcakes!" or "Did someone just have a cookie?" when I'm near people and rarely divulge that it's me, lol. They just go off thinking that someone ate the last of the office snacks.
On the Sephora website a lot of people say it smells artificial on them, but my body chemistry likes it so people are always floored when I do tell them it's just my perfume and not actual baking. And my husband, who's allergic to everything, loves it and doesn't react at all to it so that's a bonus.
I will look into it. I have many perfume (and other) allergies and the only one I know I can wear is green tea by Elizabeth Arden.0 -

Pretty sure lying to your kids about the good snacks is a mark of good parenting, lol.
Yea, my older son is a snack thief. He wakes up super early in the morning and finds treats. He have adapted by buying treats after dark and hiding them various places.
That is daughter. I can't have chocolate in the house or she will find it. And eat it. And then tell me she feels fat. 0 -

My personal favourites are the Apple Pie, Banana Nut Muffin, Cinnamon Roll ones (and I guess the connecting factor there is "cinnamon"...) I've never had the peanut ones because my husband is super allergic and I don't want to accidentally kill him with kisses or something, lol.
I think most people like the cookie dough and white chocolate raspberry a lot, so those are safe bets too. Did you stick it in the microwave for 15 seconds? That seriously improves them too.
Yes, I microwaved it after the first bite. I don't think I could've choked it down if I hadn't. I usually like peanut butter anything, but maybe I will find one I like in the bunch.
On the plus side, I replaced my usual granola bar with it and have not need a morning snack yet. I usually eat something else around 9:45.
They are very good for this, even the not so tasty ones.
We've not found ANY of the peanut butter ones appealing. I second the cinnamon roll and banana nut muffin ones though. Apple pie I'm hit or miss, but I don't hate it. I also really like the vanilla almond crunch, but you just mentioned a nut allergy. Are almonds okay? (I hope so since they're in ALL the bars!)
I am gluten intolerant and have been GF since 1995 and mostly dairy free. The one nut I can't eat is almond. It is hard to find a gluten-free, dairy-free, almond-free bar. Almonds make me feel very nauseous and cause pain in my entire digestive system. I will be glad when the next "healthiest" thing moves from almonds to something else as the trends seem to do every few years. Walnuts, cashews, whatever it is, I will be glad.
ETA I have found one vegan protein shake mix I can use. It uses pea proteins and other but thankfully no dairy, egg, or almonds are present. (or gluten)0 -

@quiksylver296 & @MoHousdon I tried the lemon creme pie Quest bar this morning. I don't hate it, but it's not my favorite either. of course I may be the only person either of you know who will peel and eat a whole lemon. I love the fruit and there wasn't enough lemon in the bar to suit me. It was definitely better than yesterday's bar...and I am still not sold on buying them again.0

With this particular flavor I believe they're only sold at GNC, & on their website.
The bar is amazing after heated in the microwave.
How many carbs are in one of those?
I don't have any of the bars left, but according to the nutrition on MFP it should be around 25 carbs.
The only bar I have found that doesn't heat that well in the microwave is the Quest Pumpkin Pie bar (it gets rather messy). I tried one of the new formula Quest Chocolate Chip bars, & have found that they taste pretty similar to how I remember the older formula.
Anyone try the Detour protein bars? I seen Giant had a few bars & decided to buy a few, but haven't gotten around to eating them yet.0 -

why have I not heard of this yet??? I must try it.....
ETA: Is that with any flavor?
You hadn't heard of that? So sorry! I figured someone brings it up every time a quest bar is mentioned. I like doing this to the cookie dough ones best. It is like a warm gooey cookie. I haven't tried with all the flavors.0 -

I could see the pictures still just now but sometimes I can't see pictures posted by certain people so that may be the issue. I guess it depends on the browser/device you are using etc.0 -

The bars that wreaked havoc on my insides were the Atkins bars. The Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough were tasty, but the flatulence & stink that came out of my butt was so not worth it! I am surprised I didn't die or kill other people from the stench that repeatedly left my butt.
This reminded me, did anyone watch this weeks episode of Castle?
YES!
I think "the Nose" should get an emmy for her role! She was so funny!0 -

My neighbor brought me 2 bunches of bananas that were close to being too ripe to eat, so I made banana bread. It is so yummy! (Especially the loaf I made with pecans and chocolate chips!) Thankfully it is going pretty quickly at work, so I won't have to eat it all!0

I didn't actually witness it but my husband went on a pub crawl with a bunch of people and at one of the bars they had a contest to see who could keep shaking the weight the longest. So for a piece of "workout equipment" it makes a pretty good bar olympics catagory0 -

I'm out of sight, out of (mostly) mind.

Spare baked goods go in the freezer and same thing happens. I'm a lucky girl that way, I guess.0 -

I'm the same way. A dozen cookies can last weeks in the freezer, in the cupboard they'd be lucky to last 2 days!0
