I just bought this thing in 7-11. It’s called Calorie Mate Balanced Food Block.
Looks like the sort of thing that might be handy to take along on a hike or something.

It’s in a yellow box about 10cm x 10cm x 2cm, with red/orange writing.

Anyone had one of these? Is it any good?

Ingredients please?

Never heard of it. What is it supposed to do?
Where is it made?

I think it’s just supposed to be some sort of balanced food bar thingy. Useful for having in your bag when you’re on a hike or whatever.

Thanks for that, TC. I’m not expecting anything different. I’ll take it on my next hike and try it out anyway.
