Title: Artificial sweetener taste means thumbs down from me
Product review: I bought a box of the Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip, but I have to say that these bars really disappointed me. The ingredients look great on paper and the bar *looks* delicious from the picture on the wrapper, but the bar has a subtle but incessant artificial sweetener taste (from the sucralose, I'm guessing) that I can't stand. Sucralose is literally the second to last thing on the ingredients list, so I didn't think it'd be a factor in the bar's taste, but I was evidently wrong.I've been eating protein bars for 15 years now, going back to the days when they tasted like cardboard, and I can honestly say that I much prefer the taste of those old-school bars vs the taste of this particular Detour bar with it's "fake-sweet" undertones. I suppose if you're used to diet sodas, then you'll probably be right at home, but if you're not a fan of artificial sweeteners, be warned.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
