We picked two (they were 2 for .88 cents) of these up last week just to give them a try.
What is so special about this bar?
It has caffeine, taurine and B-vitamins inside (goodies that give you energy).
Feeling a bit slow before having to go back out for soccer practice last night I thought I would give the candy a try.
The bar tasted very much like a regular snickers bar, the only difference that I noticed was a very slight bitter taste after swallowing. This after taste did not bother me but I have read about others really disliking it.
Honestly, I did not get that rush of energy to help keep me going. Not sure that I was expecting to be zipping around in a mad rush but thought perhaps just a nice little boost to keep me going. Nothing. *sigh*
Perhaps others will get a bit of zing once consumed, but I think I will stick to just my plain Snickers bar for a treat and any extra boost of energy from a cup of coffee.
