Anyone tried these? I often have a Snickers bar with a coke during my long rides, gives me a nice boost and some good sugar. Ok, maybe not good sugar, but sugar nonetheless. So I’m in the grocery store today and saw these Snickers Charged bars at the checkout and bought one. Thought I’d try it this weekend on a long ride. The package boasts 60 milligrams of caffeine, taurine and other B vitamins. Just curious if anyone else has tried these.
I have had one. It is not nearly as tasty as a regular Snickers bar, yet not all that impressive from a nutrition standpoint and basically still CANDY. It is a clever marketing tool to somehow make eating candy seem better. You would he happier if you had the regular Snicker’s bar and took a multivitamin in the morning.
was it as good as their low carb marathon “energy” bar?
I thought it was better then the Marathon bar. But I didn’t really like the Marathon bar. Payday has a protein bar that I actually couldn’t tell the difference between the normal bar. But it is still candy.
Yeah, I realize it’s still candy, and not looking for the nutrients in it as much as the “boost” it might provide late in a ride.
