They changed the quest bar formula
They use corn fiber now
The bars taste like crap and are rock hard
I called to complain and they told me there was a mistake and they used the wrong protein
They are sending me 2 full boxes of the correct formula which I think is really cool of them - no questions asked, no receipt needed
It seems like they ruined the formula!

3 months ago I tried that chocolate mint one--that was the last one I ever had. Gruesome

Quest bars are disgusting. I may have had the bad batch too

Why would they make this change? Strictly due to cost?
-
All these bars taste like shit. Real food much better.

No you didn't. They're horrible. 100% marketing. Even paid off GNC stooges to recommend them as tasting good. If you loved the wet cement of the old metrx bars you'll love these too.
-
You're all full of shit. S'mores, Choc Chunk, Oreo and Mint Choc are all top notch. Still.
-
There was a different batch of protein used a few weeks ago for one round, but the ones we have been getting the last 2 weeks are still incredible (as I am eating a Choc Chip Cookie Dough right now)
You can check them out at the Olympia if you don't think so -

They ruined the "formula" because the old "formula" lied about the macros because they were REALLY worse than what you were eating...Now that they are forced to dial everything in correctly the quest bars taste like chemicals.... I bet if you dropped a quest bar in the middle of the road opened NO ANTS no NOTHING would eat it....

I'm sure it's just a single mistake in an otherwise flawless company with the highest quality control standards that we are used to in the supplement industry.

Never had one of these.

Hahahha, half this board thinks if they stuff their face with these tastee morsels they're muscles will start growing like a weed!
The sad thing a lot of these guys are in their 30' and 40's and been "in the game" for half their life and are still suckered in like some foppish broad. ;D
Look at the abraham & the ron-father above for a good example
-
I've never seen a legitimately jacked guy eat a protein bar.

Eat some almonds with a few peanut m&m's instead.

It's better than starving. They're really great if you're at work and need a quick snack.

Strong post, retard. I use them for a desert to go along with my daily cup of coffee. Kindly go back to sucking that dick.

Fixed.

are you just speculating or did you hear about this somewhere?
quest bars are delicious... lol @ all the people who never tried them claiming otherwise. if you have tried them and still don't like them, fair enough...
-
I like the Gatorade bars.
-
They have always been borderline disgusting.
The granola bars are actually very good.

i just eat a snickers bar, most protein bars have the same amount of sugar and calories as them anyway, only with protein added.
i get plenty of protein from food, snickers or quest? no brainer really, they can keep their measly 20g of protein or whatever the hell it is.
probably soy, wheat or pea protein regardless.
-
I just don't know what to believe anymore.

Bars are made for kids

1) Ron is obviously not going to knock one of his sponsors. The fact that he even allows this thread is a testament to his fairness and tolerance.
2) The people who constantly knock protein bars and powders have this ridiculous holier than thou attitude - like they know better than everyone. Yet, I remember Hazbin writing on here about how he grew like crazy while mostly consuming 400 grams a day of expired protein powder. So when you critics look better than Hazbin, and I don't care how much gear you take, you can get back to us on how superior your eating habits are.

I was thinking the same thing yesterday, watching some vegan youtubers. There is nothing worse than conceit and arrogance - especially in a field of study as huge and subjective as the human diet ffs. Humility goes a long, long way.

What is bad about pea protein?
Quest has 0 grams of sugar...

much poorer amino profiles with pea and wheat.
i doubt quest has 0 sugar tbh
i don't know for sure, i was just referring to protein bars in general about the sugar but a quick search showed there'd been a lawsuit against quest hence the changeover to corn fibre

Some of my favorite bars, apple pie is very tasty and mixed berry bliss good too, don't know others... They tastes good to me, much much better than many other brands, some of the very best, but i discovered them recently so i don't know how they were before...
-
Gayer than considering the amino acid profile of your protein candy-bar.
-
These things are dog shit. Eat real food. I'd rather get panda express.
-
They pop the crowns off like an Abba Zabba.
-
it's like this man said "if it tastes good spit it out , it's probably not good for you..."

LOL
so depending on which "industry standard" assessment they chose, the fiber was overstated between 50% and 1000% :D
sounds like the assessment methods are, perhaps, a bit flawed?
anyway, no surprise if quest is lying. they're just gonna be under more scrutiny, naturally. so many nutritional labels are obviously full of shit... half the time the numbers don't even add up correctly.
-

How can I take a man with a blocky waist and no legs serious?
-
By the way people, anyone can claim what they want in a civil complaint and class action lawyers aren't exactly known for their integrity so let's stop treating the allegations in a lawsuit as fact.
-
I don't get the hate - I dig them. Not all flavors, but most are decent.

You're obviously not a nutritional guru walking around at 250 lbs with 6% bodyfat like the haters.

Detour bars, tri-o-plex bars now the quest bars and these Larry protein cookies.
First batch is to hook the consumers so they taste great then what happens is they quietly re-formulate using cheaper ingredients jack the price up a bit hoping the consumers eats the product with a bit of nostalgia in mind and doesnt notice it isnt the same.
Yawn.

I hate the taste of salt and the 1 time I tried a Quest Bar I felt like I ate a block of salt. DISGUSTING
-
Big thank u to quest for sending me 2 replacement boxes
The new formula tastes incredible
Great customer service and I really appreciate it
-
It was not deleted. Took me 2 seconds to find. You're not that smart are you.

About to release pumpkin pie flavor...heard it thru a lil bird in the industry who sang it to me.
-
Wow very nice!

Has Vince confirmed this?

Yep, I've never had one.
I prefer to get my macros through steak, potatoes, and whore pussy.

Hmm, I bought two boxes the other day and had the same problem. I called Quest up, told them the problem and they are going to replace the two boxes I bought and add another one for free. I was told that the protein that was used in their bars was a different type of protein and that's what caused the rock hard and just shitty taste.
With that said, it's pretty cool that they are gonna send me three boxes for free and they even paid the shipping cost. I can't argue with customer service like that.
