U-Turn Bars Rock

[kjluvi]

I tried Detour bars but wasn't too impressed with them. They do taste better than other protein bars, but I didn't think they were that great. It is probably because I'm not big on nuts.


But the U-Turn bars are freaking amazing. They are much better than any REGULAR CANDY BAR I have ever tasted. Granted, they cost five times as much, but whose counting.

I'm glad that the only store that carries them locally is quite a distance. Otherwise i'd be there everyday to buy three of four of them. I guess I have to learn with only having one a week.

Do they meet label claims?

what is the nutrient breakdown?

That's where the beauty of online ordering comes in my friend ... can't wait for my box to arrive (I'm licking my lips and have a sardonic grin on my face)...

they're the best tasting bar I've ever tasted

Really, I tried them at a smoothie shop in Ft. Lauterdale while I was passing through on Monday. I didn't think they tasted as good as the Detour bars..............maybe they were stale or something, but I just didn't like the consistency of the bar.

I would go through the entire box in a day or two If I ordered them online.

U-Turn bars taste great because they are loaded with sugar and no they wont meet label claims either

Blah. If you want to eat these candy bars why not just down a 30g no fat no carb whey isolate shake and eat a snickers or mars with it? You'd get more quality protein (no gelatin etc.) and the nutritional brakedown would be the same.

detour bars

these bars are good for a snack, know one is saying eat 5 a day if you are already eating hi protien- mod carb- low fat why not reward yourself with a great bar. if you keep your sugars low these bars are not going to hurt you.

exactly

All the makers had to do was take a scoop of whey-add a snickers bar to it and charge 3X retail price for it and lie about the ingredients and make millions off it

where's the proof? everyone talks but nobody knows!!!

Just to clear up a couple of things:

There is only 9g sugar in the Detour bar

The protein is Designer Whey, not gelatin or hydrolized collagen that is in most other bars

These are the best bars out there by far IMO

Tests show 21 grams of sugar in each bar which interestingly is around the same as a snickers bar

Wake up folks its just another supplement scam

Just tried my first U-Turn... damn good indeed. Detours and T-Turns for me from now on... I don't think 1/day will kill me...

 

[Ceebs]

Tried one of these last night, and I think I prefer the Detours. The U-Turn bars have a funny texture that the peanuts in the Detour bar must cover up, and are overall too nougat-y for my taste. It's just as well, for the dodgy label claims.

check out the above link for the label mis-claim of the detour bar. However, their "2nd revision" now has a different macro-nutrient profile. Now it claims to have 9g of sugar, 30g of protein and 9g of FAT.

Look, if it seems too good to be true it probably is. I wouldn't throw your money away on a company that can't be trusted. Protien bars taste like protein bars. If they taste like snickers then something is wrong there. If they are running a scam like with the Detour bar, a lot of people are going to be going backwards instead of progressing.

I dunno... call me naive but technology is constantly advancing and I personally don't think that everything that tastes good necessarily has to be bad for you...
