Are Epic Bars good?

I like them, expensive though. Only had the chicken, beef, and bison though.

I'm not a fan of the greasy feel of gristle in a binder of cold animal fat in my mouth

I can tell what they're going for (sort of a charcuterie/kind bar hybrid) and I give them credit for trying, but in order to pull it off they'd need so much salt it would probably get banned by the hippie stores that sell it. I won't be a repeat buyer

wheat proteins used to be fairly common in various foods, including meat and "meat products"

I know millennials think this is FUCKING CRAZY MAAAN but all they did was replace it with soy because of celiac

if you're a celiac, and you're older than, say, 12, you might remember the times when gluten in meat products was a real concern

t. guy with an in-law with actual celiac, not "self-diagnosed gluten sensitivity" but the actual thing that makes gluten bad

I just saw one in a store for the first time yesterday.

As far as I can tell it's like a more tender Jack Link's style sodium bomb.

The bison one had cranberries in it. Pretty good. If I ever get bison burger again, I'm tempted to add cranberry.

Overpriced and gross texture imo

i like them

it's different than the usual Cliff bar. Don't eat the salmon one though. That one sucks. I remember the lamb, beef, and pork ones all tasting pretty good.

I'm not a fan, and they're expensive like >>8730663 said. But, they're a decent source of protein, and my old office used to stock them for free at the snack bars, so I'd eat them every now and then. I'd never buy them though.

They're on the expensive side and the bison cranberry one I had was extremely greasy. The flavor was OK but I wouldn't buy it again, even if it was more affordable.

A semicolon should come after 'them' and before 'expensive', not a colon, you fucking retard.

Curiosity was piqued when I saw this thread so I got one at the market today. Was like some lazily seasoned pork that's been left to dry out in a heated chafing dish for eleven hours. $2.99 for one of these shitbiscuits.

I haven't been this pissed off at a manufacturer for merely selling a product in my life. I don't know what dickhead thought this was acceptable, but I genuinely want to kick their fucking ass.

I will always continue to use oxford commas and I don't care what you, your whore mother, or your remedial english teacher says.

Plus, you're wrong about the semi-colon. Semi-colons connect two independent clauses, "expensive though" is not independent.

You should use commas to set off the direct addresses "you retarded faggot" and "dumbass".
