“Well, generally, I've tried numerous protein bars, but I didn't like how they tasted. Like, they were too hard, had a weird flavor, and just didn't taste right. So this bar, it's our favorite bar that my aunt had found for us at Sam's. And I have discontinued to find these and purchase these because they're chocolate peanut butter, and my myself and my children like them, and they taste better.”

“If the brand has clean ingredients and I trust the brand to continue having clean ingredients, I will purchase that brand repeatedly. And I also purchase based on the amount of protein in the bar. So if the ingredient stays the same and the protein content stays the same, I stick with the same brand. Also, based on flavor and what my family likes, I continue purchasing ones that I know will be consumed.”

“Like I said, my aunt found these particular protein bars a while back. And, you know, I'm very peculiar about my protein bars. And if they taste funny, I won't have anything else to do with them. But if it's something like a particular flavor or, like, chocolate peanut butter, that's great. Awesome. It's one that I would go for. But if it's something that I can't find in the store, I will find it online.”
