Anytime I read "vegetable glycerin" now I get suspicious for some reason. This had the "nutrition bar" smell immediately when opening the wrapper which also caused some doubts. Overall though, it wasn't bad. The texture was a bit odd - I think I'd have liked it better if it were shaped more like a candy bar; as it was it seemed like a thin clif bar which wasn't the most flattering comparison. The taste did not really scream "nutrition bar" at me, at least after the first bite. Good mix of salty and sweet, overall.
