@sproinky I agree. I think their calculator is broken tonight.

/showme granola crumbs stuck in calculator.

@sproinky When we sell these “Pick-2” events, the numbers need to be divided by 2. It counts each $14 40ct purchased instead of each $28 80ct purchased

@mediocrebot /showme a calculator with the granola bits splattered all over it but with proper calculator buttons. I need a real 0, not a double zero (this isn’t roulette) and a true #9 key. Your last calculator rendering was crazy.

@phr Just eat two?

@phr @troy

@phr Aldi’s has their Pure & Simple brand bar, the peanut butter cookie flavor has 4 ingredients, peanuts, peanut meal, dates, and sea salt. They are 5 bucks for a box of 5 and they are delicious. The apple Pie flavor has seven ingredients but also delicious.

@jcpseattle ah, I just bought a sampler from the Mothershi-- oh, right, not Woot – I paid something closer to full price than Meh’s half off. From personal experience, kids will eat it, but the fruit ones wrinkle noses. (They smell “off”; I would liken them as “partially fermented”, probably from the amaranth, but still edible.)

I too miss the 3 ingredient bars, but those were mostly almonds and sugar.

@stinks me too, I’m now giving them a handful of fidget spinners and still have some to go

@stinks This struck too close to home.

@stinks Wow, I guess it has been 4 years of fidgits. (they were also a big hit at the church Trunk or Treat) Glad I already bought the Kind chocolate Chip bars last week for the kids this year. A better fit than this offering I think.

@phendrick Mostly to emphasize that this is barely cheaper (per gram) than our 99-for-$19.99 deal.

@phendrick @troy Those were about $0.20/ea. These are $0.35/ea. What trick-or-treaters need is things that hit their best by in the same month.

@caffeineguy @phendrick @troy So these are 74% larger and 75% more expensive per bar. At least there are more flavors.

The fruit ones might be interesting to try if there was a smaller assortment, since they’re not likely to keep for as long. Might go for another box of the peanut butter ones just to be safe.

@caffeineguy @kuoh @phendrick it’s ever so slightly cheaper per gram

99 23g bars (2277g) for $19.99 = $0.00877 per gram
80 40g bars (3200g) for $28.00 = $0.00875 per gram

@kuoh @phendrick @troy Well sure, I’m not disagreeing with that, only commenting that trick-or-treaters don’t deserve that extra 75%! (Especially since we get about 200 here)

@kuoh I would not heartily endorse the fruit flavors. I’m going to try the non-fruit ones to see if they have the same… fragrance.

@pakopako Thanks for the warning, guess I have a decision to make soon seeing as I already ordered a box of the strawberry banana flavor. At least it’s only a box of 40 and they can be given to the over age and low effort Halloweeners if need be.

Quick rant (at nobody in particular, 'cept maybe the new Goat)
Usually my deliveries arrive late-ish afternoons.
Of course, with it 92 degrees today, my order from last time purportedly arrived about 1 and I got home about 445 to welcome my Kind bars.
What kind? The melted kind. Oh well. Refrigerator should be able to hide that fault from porch beggars.

@Mandamm

/showme some swearing about getting even more KIND Healthy Grain Energy Bars even though they already have thousands of them.

@mediocrebot tho-usands ?

I may start saying it that way.

@Mandamm A different kind of KIND

@ozwiz66 It shows $28 for 80 for me. Perhaps you should take a short nap and come back later.

@ozwiz66 @yakkoTDI Nap taken. Error remains. (Mobile app)

@D_a_v_e Gotta see this one:

@mediocrebot @SSteve I was thinking along similar lines, but maybe mine was “darker” :

@cfg83 Why is mediocrebot so into brown beanies?

@cfg83 @SSteve Wait, do beanies come in different colors?

@SSteve @xobzoo No, they are always brown. Only AI beanies can be different colors :

/showme people wearing beanies of many different colors.

@mediocrebot Please note that if you see the above, then you are IN cyberspace. You are NOT experiencing reality. For example, ski resorts? 100% AI :

@theonlybuster Looks like AI Pam and Jim

@theonlybuster I would give that cabinetmaker a bad Yelp review.

@mediocrebot I had “in a bag” in the previous show me. Let’s try it without the bag :

@ACraigL Hmm… mine haven’t shipped and the cancel button is still available. What’s the refund policy if we end up receiving individually wrapped sand bars? I did opt for the strawberry banana flavor for half of my order, so perhaps it will be less sandy? I can live with the sugar, though my doctor likely would strongly disagree.

KuoH

Happy(er) to report that the dark chocolate chunk is far more palatable than the mixed berry. Wish I opted for 2 of those, but I feel better about the purchase now.

@ACraigL The strawberry banana flavor turned out fairly decent as well. With these and the peanut butter ones I should have enough bars overall to last well into next year

KuoH

@kuoh Anything banana is a non-starter for me, but glad you have something to enjoy there!
