I got a free sample and a coupon in the mail, and I must say that the chocolate\/raspberry one was delicious.  So, when I was at the grocery store I picked up a box of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.quakeroats.com\/products\/oat-snacks\/true-delights\/toasted-coconut-banana-macadamia-nut.aspx\">Coconut Banana Macadamia nut granola bars<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>I was intrigued.  Macadamia nuts?  Yum.  Coconut?  Yum.  Banana?  I&#8217;ll keep an open mind.<\/p>\n<p>Yuck.  <\/p>\n<p>It was actually so not good that I spit out the bite I had taken.  I was chewing and thought, why am I still eating this?  It tastes like the dried bananas went bad or something.  So I Spit it out in the trash and threw the rest of the granola bar away.  Ugh.  No WAY will my kids eat it, I&#8217;ll tell you.  <\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll try to feed the remaining bars to my friend&#8217;s chickens, but I don&#8217;t know if even they will eat it.  <\/p>\n<p>Please, don&#8217;t waste your money.  And Quaker?  Try again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m going to do you a little favor. I&#8217;m going to save you from wasting your money on bad granola bars.
