It was an ordinary Saturday afternoon: I did some cleaning, did a little design work, and headed out into the world to do grocery shopping and such.
I was just strolling down the food sections of Target, searching for deals, as usual, when these little buggers immediately caught my eye. Like, I had passed them and caught them out of the corner of my eye, rubbernecked for about 10 seconds to read the description, and practically fell over myself backstepping to grab them:
Toasted Coconut Banana Macadamia Nut
The name is a mouthful for sure, but you definitely want to have your mouth full of this. There’s a whole macadamia nut place on top of each bar, real pieces of soft dried banana, and huge chunks of coconut flake. Regarding texture, I am used to the soft, yet crunchy, compact Quaker Chewy Bars. These are soft and not as crunchy. They almost fall apart. For a granola bar, you might even consider them “messy.” But let’s get real here, it’s a granola bar, not a Hot Pocket. Nutritionally, they’re low in protein (not good), but fairly low in sugar (8g), but high in fat for their size (5g). This is mostly due to the sunflower oil, coconut oil, and macadamia nut. Overall, if you’re not counting calories, and you’re not on a lowfat diet, these are a delcious snack! And the packaging is so pretty.
Other flavors are Dark Chocolate Raspberry Almond, and Honey Roasted Cashew Berry. I don’t know about the other flavors. Raspberry and chocolate together aren’t really my thing, and I don’t like berries in granola.

Oh! They have a website too: QuakerTrueDelights.com
This is hilarious!! I’m at work right now and this came through on one of my industry newsletters. I couldn’t resist taking 5 minutes to blog about it. I love Burger King’s marketing!
“Two days ago - just in time for the holidays - the fast food chain began selling the body spray, for $4 a bottle, at Rickey’s, a New York City retailer, and on the Web site, http://www.firemeetsdesire.com/.”
I’m definitely buying this as a gag gift for someone this year!
