Snickers has been doing the limited edition thing for a while (Dark Chocolate, Xtreme, Nut 'n' Butter and the upcoming Adventure Bar). Today they announced their newest bar, the SNICKERS Charged (TM) bar that provides additional B-vitamins and the stimulants caffeine and taurine.To meet consumer needs and help millions of Americans take back their energy-zapped afternoons, SNICKERS(R) Brand is proclaiming the post-lunch, pre-dinner hour between two and three p.m. the SNICKERS Charged(TM) Re-Power Hour.
SNICKERS Charged(TM) contains 60 milligrams of caffeine. This compares to the caffeine content of other products:
- 8-ounce soft drink contains 20-40 milligrams
- 8-ounce regular coffee contains 65-120 milligrams
- 8-ounce energy drink contains 72-80 milligrams
UPDATE: I got a hold of some to taste test. It's a little smaller than a regular Snickers, tastes pretty much the same but there's a slight bitter aftertaste. Still, less expensive than a cup of coffee most places!
Just what the world needs.
ReplyDeleteMan I had one of these and my heart rate was off the charts felt like it was pounding out of my chest.
ReplyDeleteIll take the reg snickers from now on.
I love these things!
ReplyDeleteI bought like ten when I first saw em and didn't sleep for 3 days.
they tasted like they were dipped in floor cleaner, and made me sick.
ReplyDeleteno, thanks
They taste the same to me and I felt no different then eating a regular chocolate bar.
ReplyDeleteI love them. I can't drink coffee and these things give me the same energy and my stomack doesn't hurt.I can barely taste the difference.
ReplyDeleteI am currently almost done with one and yes i feel the wierd taste and i think ill stick to the regular one i wonder if ill get more energy little later though
ReplyDeleteI loved the "Charged". While in Cleveland last weeek I was able to score a couple at a CVS store. Here in Baltimore I have yet to see them at the stores. Any sightings? I'm jonesing...
ReplyDeleteYou have to eat one of these and then DO SOMETHING. Don't just sit around. If you exercise or have an athletic routine you will see the difference...I do 2 hour mountain bike rides that are very intenee and these make a huge difference. I call it snickers crack!
ReplyDeleteI've tried 3 of them and each time over the last week, my mouth hurts afterward, and I feel ooozie sick. I don't think I will have anymore.
ReplyDeletei may be addicted to these ...
ReplyDeletetom -

ReplyDeleteI had my first bar this month, but I found it stale (bought it a discount store) and yes it did taste bit off.
