    You should host a "taste test panel"... get 4 or 5 of us lined up for a blind taste test, and video the responses, gags and all.

    If you buy a Mainstay, I'll trade you for one that has been in the heat (and freezing cold) of my truck for 2 years. It gets 130*+ in my truck in the summer parked outside and down below freezing for much of the winter. It will have probably been frozen and thawed (as well as cooked) hundreds of times.

    argh, sorry guys, I got called out to a shoot with some friends (and some people i do not know) and being a gunsmith as my bread and butter a chance to show off some of my work was too much to pass up. I wasn't able to get around to the review. I have school tomorrow or I would do it now. I will do this review as soon as i can, maybe this will give me a chance to do a tasting panel as you guys suggest.

    Having sadly experienced how rapidly many energy bars become almost inedible, I'd be curious how the list you've assembled tastes 12-24 months after purchase. Back when I had my 14'er habit I bought a lot of different bars and figured the leftover ones would be used the following year....most were fairly awful 12 months after purchase even when stored in a dark cool closet.
