A woman was just surveying our selection of energy bars, gels, beans and whatnot.
"You don't have Larabars?" she said. "I love Larabars. They're all natural. There's absolutely no added sugar, it's just nuts and dried fruit."
"Oh! You mean it's sterilized bear shit," I didn't say. But I wanted to. I really, really wanted to.
They really do sound great. I just have a warped sense of humor. When
she talked about all natural substances and nothing but fruit and nuts
all I could think of was bear patties I've seen so many times in the
woods.
Dude, Larabars are delicious, and they really are natural-product-riffic. They're one of my favorite bars. Try before you diss!

ReplyDeleteYup - dropped many a Clif bar on the Alaskan trail and the resemblance is uncanny.
ReplyDelete"it's sterilized bear shit, . . ."
ReplyDelete. . . but gooooood!
It's lie the joke about the logging camp: everyone had to take a turn as cook. Whoever cooked had to do so until someone complained. The person who complained had to be the next cook. One guy couldn't seem to get the others to complain and he was really tired of cooking. So he made a pie out of moose droppings.
ReplyDelete"Aw, gahd! This pie tastes like moose shit!" an outraged diner declared, and hastily added, "but it's good!"
That's the one. I miss Utah.
