Extreme Advantage
Atkins food products have changed a lot in the years I’ve been sampling and writing about them. Back in the day some were absolutely awful, like their original baking mix that tasted like chemicals. I’ll never forget how a few of their snack bars that contained so much sugar alcohol I spent a lot of time catching up on my bathroom reading, because the after-effects kept me there.
Not only did many of them taste bad, they were also overpriced.
But as time went on the flavors improved. The Atkins people may have oversaturated the market at first, but they seemed committed to improving their products.
