I gave my three-year-old a luna bar and she really liked it = it is a candy bar

I have been eating zone perfect bars after workouts though because I am buying into that whole protein+carbs immediately after working out thing, plus I kind of feel like I need a little sugar boost when I'm beat from a workout, plus I read that giving yourself a little sweet after a workout is a good way to help build an exercise habit (because it's a "reward" in a pavlovian sense). Also they are cheap at Costco.
So far the "reward" part I guess is working because I've hit the gym 3x week every week for four months straight.

“I don’t think much has changed in the energy bar landscape—just more crowded!” writes Eskin, who still works as a food writer for the Tribune and other outlets. “The culture of the time focused on athletes—who presumably ‘needed’ quick, portable nutrition—and everyone else who wanted to seem just as buff and busy.”
Long read on the rise of the power/protein bar:

here's a good example I discovered recently

Just 10g of protein and 300 calories, with likely less than half of that protein even coming from "crickets." $36 for 12 on Amazon.

Admittedly I am probably way too reliant on Kirkland protein bars, premier protein shakes, and various brands of vegetable protein powder for nutrition. Sometimes I wonder if it does me any good at all.

I don't really think people eat Beyond burgers types of things to be healthier? I could be wrong. I still haven't been able to try them. Boca burgers have always sucked so bad otm all above.

That piece on protein bars is depressing. It's Lunchables for adults. I thought the era for them ended in the early part of this decade. I was obv wrong. The last time I bought one was when I was going 5 day hiking/camping and needed to carry all my food in.

Can you still get those Powerbars that were like a thin slabs of tar?
