Okay, a word of warning, I'm going to get a little graphic with . . .well I'm hoping you can draw a conclusion by just looking at the photo I've posted.
Let me start off with taking the first step in admitting that I am addicted, but you would be to if you tried them. It's funny how addictions work (flaxen cord and all). At my family camp out Michelle gave me a bite (my first fix as I like to think of it) and I didn't think much about it, other than 'hmm, tasty'. But so are all chocolate granola bars. Three months later, convenience brought me to buy these bars. I usually go for power bars or cliff bars to snack on after a dance class, but I had a coupon and they were conveniently in the Wal-Mart isle I was on. But I guess I'm not the only sucker for these bars. I googled Fiber One and the first link I clicked on had at least twenty people commenting on how much they love these bars. I had to vehemently agree and nod my head at the computer when I read a girl commenting that these bars are her new form of crack. Not that crack was ever my first form of crack - but still. And about ten of those twenty had the similar discomforting results and yet continue to subject their systems to such tasty torture. Let's just say that I didn't even really know much about fiber, nor about adding fiber slowly to your diet. I thought fiber was something that only old people had to worry about eating, like prunes (which I love as well). I still don't quite know why I need it, especially if my body seems to reject it when I gord it (hah). Let me just say that I messed with a perfect system - my digestive system was happy with what I was putting through it before Fiber One came along. But, I guess it's not as perfect as I thought. Even the wrapper of the Fiber One bar helps me presume that I need to add fiber to my diet. So, they either have an amazing marketing department, or my Mother is right - that I don't eat well or nutritious enough. I guess the trick is adding fiber slowly to my diet, but the only way I now want to add fiber is through Fiber One - and adding slowly isn't an option when people like me have no self-control with tasty, yummy, deliciousie -o-so treats.
So I suggest Fiber One with caution and moderation, unless you like to come close to explosion and literally see your abdomen bubble and jerk precariously every few seconds.

i have yet to try one of these fiber one bars because of my nut allergy and i'm quite sad about it. especially because my mom stocks them in our house more than anything else and i can't have them. :(
I hope you and Sica are hanging out, that's good that she's reading your blog. Apparently she's way too busy and needs to quit something (but not according to her). As for the Fiber Ones, I found out about them on a blog (hollywoodflakes.blogspot.com) and I also found out about eating too many . . . just replace your craving with Nutella, it won't have as immediate bad effects!
Actually, rather than dissuading me to try Fiber One bars, your post inspired me to try a one month diet of nothing but Fiber One bars... mmm...
