Ingredients: whole soybean powder, raisin, butter, sugar, walnut, frozen egg, dried apple, maltodextrin, dried pineapple, salt, parmesian cheese, natural flavors.

Hard to believe my breakfast bar has parmesian cheese in it, but hey, its 2008 and I'm not as young as I used to be so you kids just shine on and do whatever crazy stuff you want to do. This bar smells like a sour apple jolly rancher; i was immediately transported to my days as a curious youth, riding my bike all over a rural indiana town, coming home with jolly ranchers from who knows where? I really don't ever remember buying that stuff but I obviously had enough of it. kids today don't get that kind of freedom, what with the crazies everywhere. The taste of this bar is sort of cookie-ish. This bar is not quite so dry and tough as yesterday's, and really isn't bad. It still seems like something you'd get on a european airline flight but you'd probably be happier with it today. no noticable parmesian cheese flavor, just a reasonably good mix of mild fruit and some walnuts. I have to admit when I saw this bar at the store I didn't think I'd like it as much as the berry, but its really a lot better. which is funny, because that sour apple jolly rancher was probably my least favorite flavor. red, baby. everyone loves 'red' flavor, right?
