I was in a rush and I needed to pick up a quick snack that I could eat during class. I chose these Nature Valley bars which said they had ten bars inside. What I failed to notice is the tiny print at the bottom where it says 5 x 2, i.e., 5 packets with two bars.

Lo and behold when I open a pack during a break, I find two bars inside. I didn’t want to eat two bars, just one. You can’t even just leave the other fucking bar inside because they create so MANY crumbs. How the fuck are you supposed to seal it???

Stupid-ass deceptive printing got the better of me. It’s not the end of the world, just mildly infuriating.

    That’s just weird… If they thought one bar wouldn’t be enough then why not just make the bars bigger? Is it still even a “healthy snack” if you have to cram them down 2 at a time? It reminds me of the time I was checking the info on the back of a packet of Top Ramen and it said it’s supposed to be like 2 or 3 servings. Like was I supposed to share it with someone? Lol

      it’s supposed to be like 2 or 3 servings.

      That’s so the sodium content seems reasonable.

        They’re pretty hard. I wouldn’t want to try to bite through a double thick one personally.

          It wouldn’t necessarily have to be double thick, they could just make it longer or wider across or both
