I was running cable in a new building all morning and forgot to eat. Had a few granola bars left in my van from last week's grocery run. They kept me from getting hungry until I could stop for a real meal. Now I make sure to always have some on hand for busy days like this.

Last Tuesday's granola bars must've been pretty desperate to get eaten. My van snacks usually Achieve sentient status before I remember them.

I don't let my snacks get that old. Make a point to use them up or replace them regularly. Works better for me.

Leave a granola bar in my van long enough and it starts to feel less like a snack and more like a science fair project.

Read somewhere that granola bars can last a year in the heat. Not sure I believe it though.
