Goooood afternoon. 🙂
I loved reading what each and every one of you had to say regarding the Fullbar and my disappointment in the marketing.
I know I stated that I prefer to not eat bars everyday, unless I am in a pinch.
Well, I left out a teeny-tiny, itsy-bitsy problem I come across in my everyday life.
My husband LOVES bars. Adores them. He is so smitten with bars that he usually has one (or five) everytime he gets in the car. Now, he is not eating Big 100 Colossal’s or anything like that, but he is a fan of Detour, Nugo, and most other bars in that caloric range.
Please, spare his ears the pain of why he shouldn’t be eating these bars. He certainly has already had enough of that. He’s read so much about why he shouldn’t be eating bars 6 times a day (thanks to my harrassment thanks to your comments), that I recieved this email a few minutes ago (he is out of town) and I thought you would all enjoy reading it. He even included pictures.
What can I say? I like to share.
Dear HowSweet blogger,
Your husband disagrees with you and the 28 (to this point) opinionated commenter’s regarding nutrition bars. The hubs loves protein bars. Especially while on the road. Look at this – the packaging screams yummy.
And it has no trans fat and only 3 grams of sugar, or 50% less than the original Detour bar – as stated on the box in the second picture.
Did I mention how good they are??
In other words, you and your readers suck. You don’t know your hot little a$$ from shine-ola! And don’t ask me what that means. It’s something old people say.
And you are not the only person in OUR house that can take pictures. So put that in your pipe and smoke it.
And I think “The Man, the myth, the legend” should comment more.
I love you.
Hmmmmm.
So there you have my husband’s take on protein bars.
And he didn’t really mean that we all suck. He can be dramatic sometimes, too…like…um…someone else I know. He loves you just as much as I do. 🙂
Now…go make some of these. And tell me about it later.
Ha! I love it!
That gave me a great laugh!!! Shine-ola?? Now THAT is a new one!!
Hey, if he loves ’em, good for him! :p
Whew!! Glad I missed all that drama!!
😉
I just dont like them because they are processed and fool your body… BUT! only for a bit. They make you have weird stools and get gassy… UNLESS it is all natural or organic.
Me thinks your hubby is a little addicted to the processed and rat poison like sugar products in his bars!
Eh. I love twinkies. We’re even.
Blessings!

HILARIOUS! 😀
(My man eats those same bars, hehe)
haha, what a cute response! Also, was he referring to himself in the third person as “The Man, The Myth, The Legend”? If so: dude, bar-addition or no, total keeper.
Hahaha actually – NO. That refers to someone else that occasionally comments on my blog. However, he often does refer to himself in the third person when we are alone. Is that odd?
I had given up on protein bars, but your husband says they are good I’ll give it a go. The M,M$L added some Testosterone to the blog today.
Why do I read your blog?
I like to cook too!
Keep it up!
hahaha your hubby is so cute! I used to love those detour bars back in the day, now I stray away from them because I dont recognize any of the ingredients on th elabel!
Hahaha I love it
hahahahaha, that’s priceless!
That is too funny! LOL! I like protein bars (and shakes) too, and I used to eat them a lot, but I decided to stop in favor of real food, and frankly I feel a lot better and since I stopped eating them everyday, I am in better physical shape and have more energy…so you just ever know.
hahah my husband eats tons of them too 😉 We all have our things we love that aren’t necessarily the best for us and those bars are certainly not the worst things they could be eating!
Husband needs to start his old blog full of old man quotes!
Hilarious! You two are very funny:)
that’s awesome! i love the pics! 🙂 his effort going into that post was pretty awesome.
Oh, he’s too funny! Ok, I’ll admit to eating Tiger’s Milk bars myself, though not often. Whoops; shoulda owned up to that one last comment.
my husband will eat any bar that looks healthy, haha!
i don’t particularly ENJOY eating bars, but it’s something to fill my stomach until lunch. haha
