Slim Jim Meat Sticks, Original, 0.28-Ounce Sticks (Pack of 100)

Okay, yes, they are good. However, when my package arrived, the box had been opened and didn't look full. So, I counted them. There were 87, not 100. (and there were none loose in the box among the other items.) I guess the "box packer" got hungry and decided to eat a few. not cool.

Follow up: Amazon was great about my complaint about the number! They sent a new box right away. thanks! and I would order again.

Clif Bar Energy Bars, 2.4-Ounce Bars (Pack of 24)

If you are looking for new ways to incorporate soy products into your life, Clif Bars are one of the best tasting energy bars on the market. I've given up trying other bars that are mostly disappointingly filled with all sorts of oils I can't eat. Take cottonseed for example it is in everything! Not to mention, peanut butter and all the palm kernel oil saturating the health bar market.

The ingredients in the Carrot Cake Bar:

Organic Brown Rice Syrup, Soy Protein Isolate, Rice Flour, Malt Extract, Organic Soy Flour, Organic Roasted Soybeans, Organic Rolled Oats, Organic Evaporated Cane Juice, Organic Dried Apples, Cocoa Butter, Soy Lecithin, Natural Flavors, Apple Fiber, Oat Fiber, Organic Milled Flaxseed, Chicory Extract, Psyllium, Organic soy Butter, Dried Carrots, Raisins, Coconut, Sea Salt, Nutmeg, Cinnamon and Cloves.

Each bar is 240 Calories and is delicious for breakfast with a cup of tea. I eat a Clif Bar almost every morning and never really feel overly hungry during the day.

Gary (The Owner of Clif Bar Inc.) seems to have also found out that "other" energy bars were not really that tasty. After his "epiphany," he spent lots of time in his Mom's kitchen working on making cliff bars. What a guy! I was at the point where I was trying to make my own granola bars, but after discovering these bars, I'm hooked. They are portable, delicious and basically, I love all the flavors. You can take them biking, hiking, walking, anywhere.

This bar is especially delicious and I seem to fall in love with it again each October. Must be the spices and the creamy white chocolate chips. There are just enough chocolate chips to remind you of cream cheese icing. If I had to choose between a piece of carrot cake and one of these bars, the bar would win.

Also look for the Cranberry Apple Cherry Bars and the Pumpkin
Spice Bars.

Calbee Snack Salad Snapea Crisps, Original Flavor, 3.3-Ounce Bags (Pack of 12)


The Next Generation of Snack


You know, they used to say that smoking was good for the lungs. Now, we're told that a greasy little snack in a bag is "healthy." But, while this isn't an apple or a cup of yogurt, Snapeas are a far cry from bright orange Doritas or Ding Dongs. They are baked (not fried), and perhaps there is merit to the pea foundation, as opposed to the potato or corn chip format. They are major addictive - full of unique flavor, a pleasantly crisp but foamy (as in styrofoamy) texture, a dash of saltiness, and just enough oilyness to satisfy. Try these and then spread the word.

Funky Monkey Snacks Variety Pack, Freeze-Dried Fruit

These are great! I feel like Im eating candy, its hard to believe they are just fruit! I love them all. The java lime is a bit sour so if you dont like sour these might not be for you. The rest are all sweet. I love these and will buy them again.
