So whats the deal with these bars? are they just a glorified candy bar, or do they actually have good stuff in them?

I like em, but I am pretty fat and like candy.
anything snickers makes can't be good for you
Tried one on a 6 hour ride. Ate half of it and 30 minutes later I reversed the process.
There's absolutely nothing wrong with Snickers. I take 'em as "Powerbars" on my rides. Cheaper, better tasting, and better "mouth feel"firetoole said:

They're yummy. Beyond that, I have no feedback.
It's a little of both... some candy, some nutrition. I'm not sure what the actual ingredients are, but the nutrition label reads decent. I like them.
Read a regular snickers bar nutrition label - as a ride-food they are excellent.jacksonpt said:

According to the label, a marathon is much better.
100% Vitamin C, E, B6, B12, Riboflavin (whatever that is),Folate, Thiamin and bioton.
A regular snickes only has calcium, and only 4% compared to 45% in the marithon.

The thing I'm really interested in the Marithon is the B12. mmmmmmmm b12
The reason I ask about this stuff is because I'm trying to eat better, and have more energy and the such, and my new job is VERY tempting to eat bad food. I work at an amusement park, and smell the Boardwalk Fries, Funnel cakes, etc allllll day. I figure, If I buy a box of Marithons at Price Club and stick them in my desk, i'll have not only a candy barish thing, but it will give me energy, vitamins, etc. I can also take them out on rides, but I found out awhile ago, they don't fair well in a Camelbak because of the chocolate
