General Mills Fiber One Oats & Chocolate Bars. - Review

I was heading down the snack aisle at Costco when I overheard two women ahead of me talking about how great 'these' are. Of course that made me curious as to what 'these' they were talking about. As I drew closer to the two pretty young blond women, I could see that the item they were feigning over was a 'Costco-sized' box of General Mills' Fiber one Oats & Chocolate bars. One woman had asked the other if she'd ever tried them. The 2nd woman excitedly replied, 'Yes! Aren't they great?'

I considered grabbing a box of the allegedly 'great' fiber bars, as I passed the pretty, petite, young women, who were probably college athletes who had never eaten more than 1 tiny little M&M in 1 session, but I decided I'd better wait in case I didn't like them. I'd hate to spend extra getting a mega box of cereal bars when I may not even like them to begin with!

It happened so the next stop on my list of things to do was to stop at Wal-Mart. There I found a normal, regular-sized box of 6 snack bars, a little more reasonably priced at $4.99. $4.99 is still rather pricey in my book for a box of cereal-like bars, but they were supposed to be nutritional so I'd try them out just this once.

I found the Oats & Chocolate favor as well as another variety, which also looked pretty good. I went for the variety those two women had been ogling, the Oats & Chocolate.

My afternoon snack the next day proved to me that I'd made a good choice. I had purchased a small bag of chocolate-covered cashews to satisfy a chocolate fix I was having, when I remembered I'd brought in the more sensible Fiber One bar. Time to see how the General Mills Fiber One bar measured up! I set aside the cashews to give it a fair shake!
