Hmm, I was aware that many of the “nutrition” bars like the Marathon bar were pretty much just candy bars with different labelling, but I hadn’t realized that some of the others I have used fit into a similar category.

Thanks for enlightening me.

Being a diabetic for many decades, and a runner for at least three decades, I have always had to carry energy (quick carbohydrates) with me in case of low sugar problems. Over the years I have carried everything from raisins to chocolates to gummy bears to unimagineable junk of quick sugary kind. The problem often is the quick sugar gets all messy and gooey during the hot workouts. Purefit bars keep their shape and taste pretty good compared to a lot of the junk I have eaten over the years.

In September this year, I finished Ironman, Wisconsin, kind of an unusual feat for a type one diabetic as old as I am. I ate a very large load (literally, boxes) of purefit bars on the training way. They were tasty and they helped me over the times when my sugars were low.

Well said, Robb. You may as well hand those other bars out at Halloween.

PureFit bars, from the moment I first tried them, have become my bar of choice, whether I need a quick power breakfast before a race or something sturdy in my stomach to go surfing for hours. PureFit is the perfect snack, too, if I know I’ll be working late and won’t get dinner until 8 or 9 pm.

Thanks for a great product. You have a life long customer in me.
