What happened to Powerbar?

Power bar is still around, but has a lot of competition. They didn't get into the social media game like other companies such as clifbar or picky bars and thus got relevated to a smaller part of the market.

Failed to innovate to keep up with better competitors. Once I had a Clif bar, I never ate another Power bar.

Why are there two seemingly independent websites for PowerBar products (one for "PowerBar," (traditional bars, etc.) and one for "PowerBar Sport" (drinks and gels))?

PowerGels are back in the US! And so are the chews - now called PowerBar Shots.

We just re-launched a couple of weeks ago - we are a few ex-employee/athletes who wanted to get these products back for our friends and ourselves.

You can get them at sport.powerbar.com. There are also some great new products to try.

Thank you!!! I have been lost since the Strawberry Banana PowerGels were discontinued.

I thought they tasted like garbage. So did the guy that made Cliff Bars, that was his inspiration for starting his company. He was on a long bike ride and couldn't stomach the idea of choking down his 3rd Powerbar. He went home and starting coming up with something that actually tasted good.

I used to buy Powerbars in bulk quantities for about 50 cents per bar (early-mid 2000s). The oatmeal raisin were my favorite too. I never could eat Cliff Bars. My stomach just doesn't digest them properly.

1. Make your own.

2. Chunks of frozen Nestle cookie dough is awesome in a pinch.

3. Quest bars are the only bars worth buying.

I too am extremely disappointed and upset over the removal of Power Bars. I'm a runner. I liked the Original Power Bar, as well as the other flavors, but would mix it up with the Peanut Butter, Oatmeal Raisin and even the Chocolate Power Bars, I liked the chewy texture and the fact that they were not so sweet. There's truly a market for them and I'm baffled as to why the company stopped making them.. No need to advertise, Just put them in the stores and they would fly off the shelves. The ones on the market are too expensive, have lots of sugar and many are not even that healthy. I haven't found one (an Energy Bar) I like as well as the Original Power Bar. Someone in he company needs to get a clue and bring them back. The ones who thought they should discontinue them are idiots and should have their heads examined. It was a huge marketing blunder. There was and still is a big fan base for this product. Discontinued?? Are you kidding me!! I hope the fans of Power Bars will unite and persuade the company that it will be a "win/win" (in the best interest of the company and their customers) to get back in the game..

I still miss it. It was so digestible & easy on my tummy before/during a workout.

For at least a decade, I could be hungry getting off work & just grab one and eat it right before or during working out.

Right now, I can only eat smooth food so I really miss them & cant find good a good substitute.😬

If I remember right, Their main ingredient was brown rice. I liked that they were smooth, and filling. Now I mostly find what seems like small candy bars, labeled fitness bars.
