At first I looked at the best-by dates and thought, hey great - these are good until 2026. Then I did a little math on my fingers and HOLY CRAP IT’S ALMOST 2026!!!
Dammit Meh. Last time there was a deal like this, around this time year, Halloween came around and we were running low on candy but needed to get to a party so I filled the dish full of chocolate chip granola/protein bars that I was totally tired of after the first dozen… just to return to a flipped over plate of granola bars with zero taken.
99 of one flavor is hard to swallow. And I definitely can’t imagine eating 198 of these within any reasonable period of time (even with my better half’s help), so two orders ain’t happening.
How about an option of 49 of each flavor. Yeah that’s 98. Maybe the extra one would be a “gift” to the unfortunate meh staff member repacking them.
@mehcuda67 sounds like you’re pitching an idea for Casemates to expand beyond wine. Find someone who lives near you who wants to go halves on a case of each. Then you can name it Kindbuds or something.
@mehcuda67 you’d be surprised at how quickly these can go
Also how long they can last. Like those BeVita banana bread bars, I still find a KIND tucked away somewhere. Last I bought these was December… 2023. (For $25; and it was a deal then.)
The durability of the peanuts is a little questionable, but worth a spin
@wickhameh Stuff it in (Bruce!)
You’re almost finished (Bruce!)
You’ll fit it in
Whatever you do, just don’t give in
Don’t let her win
Come on, Bruce, be our hero
Cover yourself in chocolate glory!
@ItalianScallion@Kyeh@shanesny@wickhameh
Hah! Reminds me of the first time my siblings and I watched The Meaning of Life (on a VCR, remember those?) After this scene, I stuck it in loop mode so it would play over and over. My Dad came downstairs to hear what we were laughing and screaming about. He stared at the screen, paused for a moment and said “There is something seriously wrong with you people,” then he turned and went back upstairs without another word.
Yup.
I bought these here before and they lasted me a long long time. I would take one to my almost daily medical treatments. Even long after their “expiration” they were totally fine.
So I am buying them again and I will not regret it!
@tommytoad0 I kept some at work and just finished off the last one a few weeks ago. It definitely didn’t taste as fresh as it could be, but no off flavors and I’m still around to order another batch today.
Just checked my order history and the last order was Dec 2023, so they definitely sat around for a bit past expiration.
You win, meh.
My wife thinks we can knock out 99 of the chocolate chip ones. Go figure.
I went back and ordered last week’s scale, too, cause I think we’re gonna need it.
3 orders went though instead of one. There is no contact info, I click cancel order but no where to submit. First time on this site and my last. I have 3 orders coming and only wanted 1
Very uncharacteristic fast shipping! My peanut butter bars arrived today and sat in the sun for a few hours, promptly melting the chocolate chips. They were very soft, but still tasted great, my only regret was not ordering more than 1. These will be great to replenish my emergency office snacks stash.
@kuoh my order was only outside for a couple of minutes since I saw them drop it off. The melting in my bars had occurred already in the warehouse or maybe more likely in the FedEx truck. But it’s not a big deal since it wasn’t very chocolate chip laden or messy anyway. Calling it a win.
@mehvid1 That could be true as well. For all we know, these might have sat at a 100F surplus warehouse for the better part of a year before being shipped in 110F trailers around the country to/from Meh’s equally hot warehouse in IRVING, TX, US, according to Fedex tracking.
It was just a little regretful seeing the already small amount of chocolate turned into wrapper grease. Though I may or may not have licked the insides of a few wrappers clean in a effort to reduce unnecessary landfill waste.
@kuoh I also regret not getting more. We received our box and was taken back this was…. 100% legit.
Ironically, I didn’t coordinate with my wife and she also bought a box of 10 bars from Thrive, which came on the same day as I got my meh order.
What stood out to me, is the expiration date for hers on these meh ones were…… the same date!
Kind must have had a factory work 24 hours straight one day to crank these small bars out in major surplus!
@kuoh@mehvid1 My order was left outside my door instead of inside my porch and a few hours later it rained. I mean, it rained. Soggy outside box, soggy inside box, dripping wet KIND bars. I guess it’s not enough for Fedex to send the box halfway across the country in the opposite direction. They had to outdo themselves by ignoring my delivery instructions. Hey, the bars survived. I guess that’s what matters.
@ItalianScallion@kuoh Oh, no! Pretty hard to reuse or recycle those wet piles of cardboard. But yes, at least the bars were still edible & you can join me & Kuo(?) in licking the inside of the wrappers.
@kuoh@mehvid1 Actually, my city accepts wet cardboard. The chocolate chip bars I got aren’t sticking to the wrapper so I guess no licking necessary. They’re pretty good, btw.

This is perfect. I was looking for some sucky candy to stock my jack o’lantern with and this is perfect!
@AaronLeeJohnson Good idea; I can lower it down in a bucket on a rope from my apartment window to the street below, if necessary
As an added bonus, the trick-or-treaters won’t be able to reach me to get their revenge
Dammit Meh. Last time there was a deal like this, around this time year, Halloween came around and we were running low on candy but needed to get to a party so I filled the dish full of chocolate chip granola/protein bars that I was totally tired of after the first dozen… just to return to a flipped over plate of granola bars with zero taken.
All the candy was gone.
@nlouvros
This year they should get nothing but raisins or apples, something ultra healthy! 
That’ll teach em! 
WHAT…?
Those ungrateful little monsters!
@Lynnerizer @nlouvros Toothbrushes, floss, pencils, … I must need to go to bed; I’ve run out of ideas way too quickly.
Happy Halloween Kids !!!

@mehcuda67 These come in bulk casepacks of 99 bars with no inner boxing to separate. Not gonna happen
@mehcuda67 @troy I need to know why they decided on 99. Was it just to piss me off? I don’t even have OCD tendencies, but this is unacceptable.
@mehcuda67 sounds like you’re pitching an idea for Casemates to expand beyond wine. Find someone who lives near you who wants to go halves on a case of each. Then you can name it Kindbuds or something.
@mehcuda67 @troy @warpedrotors
3 wide by 3 high by 11 deep. Seems like a good layout to me. With the right replacement for my trunk I could use this same layout.
@troy @warpedrotors @yakkoTDI Do they come in standard sizes?
@mehcuda67 you’d be surprised at how quickly these can go
Also how long they can last. Like those BeVita banana bread bars, I still find a KIND tucked away somewhere. Last I bought these was December… 2023. (For $25; and it was a deal then.)

/showme vital-good-cattle eating chocolate chip candy bars
@ItalianScallion Those look better than the real ones.
@Kyeh Indeed they do!
And who’s a Good Cattle? Who’s a Vital Good Cattle? Yeah, you’re a Vital Good Cattle!
@ItalianScallion I don’t want any cow slobber on mine though.
I was hoping for Crunchewy.
@El_Oel
CrunchChewy!
@El_Oel @Lynnerizer
I thought she was going to eat it.
@El_Oel @Lynnerizer Ooooh, a Marty DiBergi commercial! #IYKYK
@El_Oel @Lynnerizer @xobzoo Two seconds from becoming a classic SNL commercial. So close!
@El_Oel @xobzoo
I like these. Just not that much.
Dang. I like this brand, I like chewy bars, but I can’t eat chocolate. (No, I am not a dog.)
@hughgrection this is exactly what a dog would say
Most of my edible purchases here have been eaten or tossed because they got too old. Time to restock.
/giphy four-functional-tomato
@Springbank eating, juicing, throwing, what’s the 4th function??
@pakopako @Springbank Salsa is the fourth function.
/giphy salsa
With the price of chocolate going up - these might be great for Halloween.
Kids will HATE you!
@jtallant Where I live, they’ll love them. Just ordered some (to go along with other candy) for Halloween.
I love these
Eat 4 of them and you’ll actually feel like you’ve had a snack.
/giphy unpleasant-quirky-panda
@tombroadcaster Unpleasant? But he’s smiling!
“YOU CAN DO IT, BRUCE!!”
@wickhameh Stuff it in (Bruce!)
You’re almost finished (Bruce!)
You’ll fit it in
Whatever you do, just don’t give in
Don’t let her win
Come on, Bruce, be our hero
Cover yourself in chocolate glory!
@wickhameh reminds me of an old joke “how many ways can you interpret (order)”
@shanesny @wickhameh
Trigger warning: don’t watch this while eating!
@ItalianScallion @shanesny @wickhameh
Ugh, I’m going to watch it NEVER!
@ItalianScallion @Kyeh @shanesny @wickhameh

Yup.
I’m not gonna eat 99 of anything, even my favorite candy bar.
@blaineg not all at once at least
Rice.

@kuoh @tommytoad0 meh
(And now for $5 less - take that tariffs!)
@kuoh @pakopako Indeed, I hadn’t even noticed that until you mentioned it. Perhaps they were from the same era and are even older now.
/showme a tangled-spongy-barbarian
You win, meh.
My wife thinks we can knock out 99 of the chocolate chip ones. Go figure.
I went back and ordered last week’s scale, too, cause I think we’re gonna need it.
/showme Spongebob SquarePants as a tangled barbarian
@pakopako I would watch this version of Spongebob.

I feel like I ate all the KIND bars. I need a nap.
I’m in for two boxes!
Incredible deal, and why I love meh!
Now give me more expired liquidIVs!
Just bought a box, wish me luck that I survive.
/showme sober-interesting-jewel
I appreciate that the expiration date is listed as with Amazon it isn’t.
I need this deal!
3 orders went though instead of one. There is no contact info, I click cancel order but no where to submit. First time on this site and my last. I have 3 orders coming and only wanted 1
@caroleb66 I’ll take the two. This was an incredible value.

@kuoh mine arrived yesterday, so there was that expected delay.
Unexpectedly is the peanut bar being… A thin wafer. This is different than the slightly chunkier chocolate chip bar, but I like it
@kuoh Same here. Shold have bought more. These are good.
@kuoh @mehvid1 Actually, my city accepts wet cardboard. The chocolate chip bars I got aren’t sticking to the wrapper so I guess no licking necessary.
They’re pretty good, btw.
Unfortunately, my bars arrived melted.
