I was cruising through Whole Foods in Austin, and just had to pick these up. I had heard about Thunder Energetica before, so I wanted to give them a taste and share what I found.
A lot of what these bars have going for them is that they are fun to buy and open. Handmade? Blessed by a shaman? Really? A lot of sales has to do with the experience more than the product itself, and Thunderbird is definitely an experience.
The bars themselves are great. Simple ingredients, tasty, a variety of flavors, and super healthy. Not only that, but the company is run by endurance athletes.
My first taste was a little, "Meh, another health bar." But there was nothin' but wrapper left of both bars in just a couple of hours. Definitely proof of good stuff.
Distribution may be limited right now, but check out their website for more details.
