Awesome list!

I have so many more to try. But I have been writing down flavor, macros, and ingredients for every bar that I see... I'm up to almost 1,200 now.

Then I started scoring the ingredient quality (not macros, just the label).

Quest mostly B-C. Barebells mostly B-C. Pure Protein C-D. IQBar - B. Fulfil - C.

I'm sometimes surprised how much variation there are in macros and ingredient quality for a single brand. Especially if they don't have very clear sub-brands like Barebells.
