I feel like Ryan and Co are doing a disservice by having people vote for their favorite name.

I think part of it is finding out which name people don't hate

CaliWG

There will be folks who love it or hate it either way.

Of the bar itself or the chunk part? The chunk part is the best part.

The bar. I can't eat them. Barbells are a million times better.

Those are very expensive. Barebells sells them for cheaper on their website. About $25 per 12 bars after their latest

jacobugath

I've had both and I disagree with you. Built Puffs have a far superior texture.

Refrigerate them and it’s a better texture.

Or just not buy them.

Or not be a pansy . . .

LakeshowCougs

Not spending money on something I don't like is being a pansy? The only reason

No if a built bar makes you gag, you’re a pansy

LakeshowCougs

That's why the puff is the only way.
