Advantages: OK if ypu are near-fainting point

Disadvantages: boring, tasteless or the bits get stuck in your teeth

I've never really taken to cereal bars.

I know the advantages of them:

- depending on the brand they have varying degrees of nutritional value such as fibre, carbohydrate,a little iron, a few vitamins and a bit of protein

- I know they are reasonably priced as a fairly good one can cost just 20p

- I know they are convenient to eat as you normally can undo these with the fingers (though sometimes I've had to use my teeth)

- I know these are better for you than a cake or a few biscuits

- I know you can eat one anywhere if you are famished as they don't really leave crumbs

BUT I'm sorry I really can't stand cereal bars!

The only one I can ever honestly say was nice is Slimfast's meal replacement cereal barwhich I bought last week at Boots for £1.25 out of sheer hunger. It was tasty,filling and had good nutritional value according to the pack.

Apart from this one - YUK!

disadvantages:

- most I've tried taste like cardboard and have an aftertaste

- some are soggy

- most look incredibly boring once the wrapper is off - you feel like a spaceman/woman on rations

- some bars are chewy but you end up with 'bits' between your teeth and usually in a place where you can't get the dental floss out!

So - I'm afraid if I have to eat one out of sheer hunger I'll only go for Slimfast.

I love cereal so maybe it is just my taste buds, but I really can't get on with cereal bars!

Summary: cereal bars have too many disadvantages
