I began to wonder yesterday about what had ever happened to those granola bars covered in yogurt that I had liked so much when I was a kid. They were so much better than the paltry fare being offered in supermarkets nowadays. My granola bars were not simply rock-hard slabs of granola superficially slathered with a single coat of yogurt; on the contrary, they were completely saturated, every nuggety chunk and all the spaces between them filled with artificially flavored yogurty sweetness, rendering the granola with a gentle firmness matched only by a nicely chilled chocolate bar. It was yielding, but not in that flaccid, chemically softened, freshly baked rice-krispy treat kind of way--you still had to work your jaw to get to extract its granola-laden goodness.
PowerBars are bland, soul-less blocks of taffy, Quaker Oats soft & chewy bars are stale bits of cereal held together with web-like strands of old chewing gum and Nutrigrain fruit bars are nothing more than over-glorified fig newtons with the consistency of crusty Play-Doh. This, and this alone, is the root of our country's descent into madness. If we can't start our day off with the right granola bar, how can we even begin to wrestle with the demands of our everyday lives?
In protest, I stopped eating breakfast a long time ago. Breakfast bars are absurd.
I'm 28, a wood tiger with B-pos type blood, and all I want to know is, where have all the good granola bars gone?
(sigh) I don't write anything for 2 years, and what do I come back with? A story about frickin' granola bars.
