Secret Foods: Snack Bars
June 2007
We sampled an array of snack bars on our trip out. Here's our
verdict whilst trying to eat them at minus degrees.
- Flapjacks - tasted great and were still edible at -27 degrees Celcius. Would definitely take this product along as it was also the ONLY bar that was filling.
- Breakfast cereal Bars - ok but didn't fill me.
- Cliff Bars - not sure. I had lemon cheese cake and thought it tasted like dish washing liquid. Darcy likes them though.
- Fruit Bars - tasted okay but hard to chew until the temperature of one's mouth melted it enough.
- Power Bars - awful. Out in the cold, the bar became like a brick. Could have broken my teeth trying to bite into it. It took me a whole hour to eat one as I skied onwards trying to soften it with the heat from my breath. However it did give me energy once I gnawed through it!
