mmmmmm – Chewy Hemp Granola Bars

dummr — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 19:57:00 +0000

While visiting my local Big Lots store, a box of granola bars caught my eye. I picked up the box of Nature’s Path Sunny Hemp Chewy Granola Bars. Upon closer inspection, I noticed a very suspect leaf on the front of the box and the ingredients list includes hemp seeds. At that point, I thought WTF! Of course, I had to buy a box – $2.50 for a box of 6 bars – not bad.

Purina Hippie Chow?

The back of the box includes this serving suggestion -”Just the thing for when you’ve got the munchies.” But what about active ingredients? Do the bars contain any drugs? According to the Nature’s Path website – “Rest assured, eating our foods with hemp will not result in a positive drug test. We have our hemp products tested by two independent labs to determine the level of THC in the food. Both labs are able to test down to one part per million and report finding no detectable THC. ” What do you expect for $2.50?

A Very Non-Professional Taste Test

The bars appear to be standard chewy granola bars. I found the taste to be bland. Raisins were few and far between – one bar had none (see image below). Sunflower seeds can be tasted, but I am not a fan of sunflower seeds in a granola bar. The only pleasant flavor came from the molasses and cane syrup used to glue the granola together. Eating one bar did not produce any ‘side effects’. I will not buy another box.

Is There Anything That Magnets Can’t Do? Magnetic Panties For Sale

I noticed an ad in the Sunday paper and was taken aback. The ad is for panties which incorporate the magical powers of magnets. They make no claims as to what those supposed powers are, but they simply ask if you are one who believes. Does believing give the panties additional powers? What are these powers? Will these panties interfere with a cell phone carried in a pocket? Someone needs to investigate. I’d love to hear from someone who wore these panties through airport security.
