Power Bar positive review
 

I was at one of my B.O. locations yesterday doing a few things that had run longer than I had expected. I was wiping out some cupboards and found a Poser Bar on the top shelf all the way to the back, I was feeling a little hungry
You know a "snack" about now would be great. I set it aside and when I had finished I looked at the expiration date which was 3 years past expiration. I grabbed a glass and went and pumped me a cold cup of water then sat in the shade and proceed with the inspection. The foil type rapper did not have any holes no sign that a mouse had beaten me to the snack, I opened it and it still felt soft and smelled fine, I took a small taste ready to spit it out, but it tasted just fine, I ate it all and drank my water.
I sat in the shade for a little bit until the gnats started becoming annoying then went on and finished up.
I do not know how long the shelf life of these power bars are when they are new, but I bet they will last a lot longer than 3 years past expiration.
I just wanted to share this as I know a lot of people are scared about food products that are even one day past the exp date.

Good to know. I've been trying to think of the best food to put in a BO bag. What would give the most energy and nutrients in the smallest package. I've been leaning towards MREs and candy bars, but a power bar may be a better choice than candy. I also wish civvies could get ahold of the new FSRs. They are basically a stripped down MRE leaving only what you need and none of the doo dads and gee gaws.

That's what I stock.

Did some research, and as near as I can tell, they

Have the best calorie to weight ratio of anything around

Except for perhaps pemmican.

There are some other types that are similar to them - I too like them as a ration type of deal. lots of calories for the size/weight/cost.

Whenver I find them on sale for $1 a bar I buy a few boxes.
