Quest Bars - new formulas taste horrible!
« on: September 15, 2015, 03:08:58 PM »
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

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.

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

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.

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...

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.

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.
