WundrBars are coming!

[Laurens_Queal]

The waiting is almost over! WundrBar will be the next big step in Queal history. Are you looking forward to them?

[Manuel_Di_Iorio]

Nice, can't wait to try them

[Robbie]

Nice! Hopefully the 4 o'clock snack I've been waiting for

[Agent1832]

Any update on when they are heading out?
Next week is the last full week of November.

Hey @Agent1832!

As it stands right now, we're on track to deliver to all WundrBar crowdfunding pledgers at the end of November.

We've had several setbacks, but are pushing hard to make sure there aren't any (more) delays for the nice people that pledged to help make this happen!

Not sure yet when the bars will be available to buy in the webshop. Likely sometime in December.

[Agent1832]

Good stuff. Looking forward to trying them out.

Really like the bars, although I like the choco-vanilla more than the hazelnut.
As @Geurt mentioned they are a bit hard and chewy, that I actually like. That gives me more the feeling that I'm eating/replacing a meal instead of a candybar (mars/snickers).

[Laurens_Queal]

Good to hear from you guys. I guess tastes differ. I'm curious to know whether more people like or dislike the chewiness of the bar, so keep me posted through this thread!

[Lynx]

bad.. i dont like the taste at all

[Andreas]

Hmm I dont think there is an after taste?
And wait, is it too hard or too chewy? It cant be booth can it? Anyway I dont find it hard at all, in fact I like that it has a little crunchyness. And well the chewyness was something I expected. Did you guys ever eat a Powerbar? They are much chewier. With the ingredients the wundrbar has it can't taste like a mars or other chocolate bar...

I'm sorry to say that the taste is really bad. I read that the idea was to make a good-tasting Twennybar, but this is much worse, even though Twennybars don't tase much better thank ok-ish...

[Kala_Queal]

Hey @frits, I'm really sorry to hear that you don't like the taste.
That being said, I wouldn't say our idea was to make a better tasting Twenny bar.
We wanted to come up with our own take on nutritionally complete bars, which is something I feel we achieved
That's not to take away from your own personal experience with the WundrBar, however. Like my colleague @Laurens_Queal pointed out before, tastes do indeed differ!

[Stijn]

The texture (or hardness / chewy) is fine for me.
I do find them a bit wide, though, and I prefer Choco-Hazelnut over Choco-Vanilla.
Saturated fat content is also higher than I'd prefer, but I haven't actually compared that with other bars or snacks.
I do feel energized, without feeling bloated, so I'll probably keep using them.

[frits]

True!

Also, it would be a waste to throw away all of them, so maybe they'll grow on me!

[Kala_Queal]

Awesome I really hope they do!

[Brandis]

While I like Queal 3.0 much better than the previous version, I'm pretty disappointed in the Queal bars. I find them too sweet and the chocolate has a strange taste. Also, the chewyness reminds me more of a bubble gum.

I forced myself to eat 3 bites, then I had to throw the rest of the bar away. Not sure what to do with the other bars, maybe I give them away.

Sorry, I had high hopes for the bars, but will stick with Queal for the moment.

[SnarkBe]

I got them a few days ago and I had 2 already, for breakfast on 2 days.

While I thought I'd prefer the choco-hazelnut ones, actually I prefer the vanilla ones. Texture is fine for me, I like having to chew a bit. The taste is nice, no weird aftertaste for me. The bars are a bit "brittle", I often have small chunks falling when biting into them. I feel like it's making me fuller than a Queal, without being bloated. And it's keeping me less hungry till lunch time.

The wrapper of the bars is nice and easy to open, it's very convenient on the go.

Will I order some more? Yes, definitely.

[Kala_Queal]

If you don't like them and have decided to not have another go at them, then yes I suggest gifting them to family or friends 'Tis the season in any case!

Hi!

In case anyone is interested, I've posted a complete review comparing WundrBars to Twennybars: https://np.reddit.com/r/soylent/comments/5gbaxv/wundrbar_vs_twennybar_review_pics_inside/

If you just wanna see some photos: https://imgur.com/a/or0wb

tl;dr:
I like it! I think it's a good product on its own, though the flavours might be too strong for my taste, especially when compared with the quite neutral Chocolate Twennybar. Nutrition-wise I like it better due to the reduced sugar and increased protein contents. Texture-wise they are very different: both are dense, but WundrBars are dry and hard, whereas Twennybars are more spongy, and I think both have their charms.

However, just like the Twennybars, the WundrBars are way more expensive than their powdered counterparts, and it seems that even if they were cheaper, one could not solely rely on them due to their potential laxative effect. As Queal says it:

You can replace any meal with a WundrBar, but not every meal.

I will continue to buy both WundrBars and Twennybars as occasional meal replacement/supplement, since I think both have their strengths and I do not think one completely blows away the other by any means.

Cheers!
