Clif Nectar Cacao, 1.6-Ounce Bars (Pack of 18)
Customer Review: not a candy bar
I really like these bars, they are all natural and very nutritious! at first I thought they may be like a candy bar, but they are not. we went through the whole box in one week. they are a great snack to drop in the diaper bag when they kids get hungry during errands.

Customer Review: tasty treat
I really like this bar. It’s sweet, but not super-sweet (since they use fruit and unsweetened dark chocolate). A good tide-me-over-until-lunch treat.

Klean Kanteen Stainless Steel Water Bottles
Stainless steel Klean Kanteens outlast their plastic counterparts and drinking water from a stainless steel Klean Kanteen tastes clean and oder free, unlike drinking from plastic which often makes water smell and taste undesirable.
Customer Review: Love it!
I have never used a more handy water bottle. Much safer than the plastic ones.
Customer Review: Where to buy KLEAN KANTEENS, at the BEST PRICES
I love the klean kanteen water bottles, I bought mine at www.kleankanteenshop.com I bought some of the 12oz with sippy tops and a 27 and 40oz kanteen. Please visit [...] if interested in any klean kanteen item, The store is owned by a combat veteran and I would recommend his shop to anybody. The Advent sippy tops are great for my little one, he is about a year old and handles it very well. I like to use the 27oz klean kanteen at work, I seem to be drinking allot of water now days and now that I have the stainless steel kleen kanteen the water does not taste weird.

Valeo Speed Jump Rope
The Valeo Speed Jump Rope is 10 feet long and adjustable in length. The jump rope is made of durable solid rubber with molded foam grip handles designed for comfort. Sealed ball bearings provide even rotation and prevent tangling.
List Price: $9.99
Amazon Price: $5.19
Customer Review: effective
Speed ropes are by far the best kind of jump rope you can buy, this one by Valeo being no exception. Adjusting the rope is not a hassle either, it comes equipped with two metal washers, one already bent and in use, the other below it. To adjust, you just cut off the end of the rope with the fastened washer then set your length with the other one and fasten it by means of pliers. The feel of the rope is similar to other speed ropes, which means the rope swings with relative ease and DOESN’T TANGLE.
Customer Review: Recommended
This is a good Jump Rope. Rubber, I think. It’s nice and heavy and has a nice swing. It’s pretty easy to adjust the length. Just in case you need a Rule of Thumb for that: Step on the rope and hold the handles in both hands, elbows close to your body. You have the right length if your lower arms are parallel to the ground and the rope is tight. I actually leave mine a little longer.

Customer Review: Misleading Product
From the advertisment I through this product was for humans. When I received the product was for Horses. I was very disappointed. It cost me $12.00+ in shipping and handling and $9.00+ for the item. I really needed Soybean Oil and could not find it in stores near me. I can return but will loose the S&H fee.

Clif Kid Twisted Fruit Ropes, 0.7-Ounce Wrappers
Customer Review: Mom of a SPD preschooler
Absolutely delicious. He wanted more. What a treat for him and he had no idea it was healthy. Keep up the great work and keep the twisted ropes coming!

Customer Review: Best thing since Sliced Bread….Awesome !!!
I am not a big fan of fruit roll-ups as they tend to be more like candy than fruit with added sugar. These Twisted Fruit ropes are a “whole” other story. They are Organic and provide ONE FULL Serving of Fruit! Each one is 70 calories and best of it, they are satisfying. And I love its dense, chewy texture. It’s SO GOOD that I enjoy it as much as my children do ! So far, I have had the pleasure of trying the strawberry, sour apple, and tropical fruit twists. I love them all although the sour apple is indeed “sour”. It will make your mouth pucker which I personally love but I buy the strawberry & tropical flavors for my children. I just wish that they were less expensive but I can see how they cost more to produce so I am willing to pay more to get a better, more nutritious fruit snack ! Btw, Amazon has the best prices on these esp. if you “subscribe and save”. They are not yet readily available and at my Whole Foods Supermarket, they sell for 99 cents EACH !

It is easy to assemble, operate and clean.
Price: $259.99
Customer Review: Just Right
I researched nearly all the juicers and decided to buy this one. It was more than I had originally intended to spend, but I have now been using it for over a month and it is wonderful. Built well; easy on the eyes; quiet in operation; very easy to clean; and produces super juices. I am extremely pleased with this juicer and have recommended it to several friends.
Customer Review: Great all-around juicer. Its all you’ll need.
If I were to do it all again, I would only buy the Omega 8005 juicer. I recently purchased both the Omega 8005 and the Breville 800JEXL. Initially, I read raving reviews on the Breville 800JEXL, and thought it was best. I also did not feel I would want to make my own wheatgrass juice. I was buying it at Lassen’s healthfood store or at Wholefoods. They’ll make it for you right there. After making daily trips to one of the stores - well, it got old. I realized that it would be a lot easier to make my own wheatgrass at home. So, I bought the Omega 8005, as well, and buy a flat of wheatgrass, as needed, from the market. (by the way, I’m keeping the wheatgrass flat in the refrigerator. That’s how they store it at the market to prevent it from molding.) After juicing with the Omega 8005 (carrots, celery, beets, parsley, cucumber), including wheatgrass juice, I realized that I should have bought this juicer from the start. I was more than pleased and prefer it over the Breville Juicer. The Breville juicer is faster, but you need to turn on/off the juicer each time you add more vegetables or it will spray up all over the place. It’s also very loud. The sound is similiar to an airplane taking off. The quickness of the juicer is lost by having to turn on/off all the time. Plus, I feel the Omega juicer has a higher juice yield and leaves a little bit of texture/pulp in the juice, as you find at juices made fresh at Healthfood stores. (you can filter it, if you want, they provide a filter, but I like it) The juice from the Breville juicer is completely smooth. No texture/pulp. Perhaps, the Omega yields more juice by leaving just a wee-bit of pulp. It’s leaving just a little behind. Whereas, the Breville leaves absolutely no pulp. The Omega juicer produces little to no foam. The Breville juicer has a little more, even on its lowest speed, and a lot more foam on the highest speed. The Omega juicer has 10 year warranty and was $40 less (if not more, depending on whether you purchase Omega 8003 or 8005. They’re both the same. The 8005 model is Chrome. The 8003 model is white.) The Breville warranty is somewhere around 1 year. — you got the picture… The Omega juicer is extremely quiet. It wouldn’t wake anyone sleeping, even in the same room. For me, I prefer having a quieter juicer that yields more juice, is super easy to clean up, makes wheatgrass juice, and takes up less counter space. We’ll hold onto the Breville for a little while, just to be sure, but otherwise will sell. The Breville does have easy clean-up, but you need to be extra careful when washing the Mesh Filter/Teeth Plate as you could easily snag your finger on one of the blades. The Omega 8005 has no sharp parts for me to worry about and is even easier to clean. The Omega juicer is so much quieter and easier to use. And, sooo much more juice, too! Hands down - I prefer the Omega 8005 juicer.

Sigg Traveler Classic Water Bottle (1.0-Liters) A safe, stylish alternative to plastic water bottles, Sigg water bottles are a great choice for transporting beverages on your daily commute or while backcountry hiking. This ultra-lightweight bottle is extruded from a single piece of aluminum and holds 1 liter of fluid (33.8 ounces). Designed to fit your on-the-go lifestyle, it comes with a loop top bottle cap, which can be secured via hook or caribiner clip to a backpack or daypack.

Sigg bottles are virtually unbreakable and are constructed with no seams, ensuring a long-lasting, leak-proof performance. They also feature Sigg’s proprietary baked-on inner liner, which is made from a non-toxic, water-based epoxy resin that exceeds FDA requirements for leaching (0.0 percent) and is independently tested to be taste- and scent-neutral. Every Sigg bottle is 100 percent recyclable at the end of its life, and is backed by a lifetime warranty.

About Sigg
It all started with a simple hiker’s bottle. Today, the SIGG bottle has acquired cult status. What happened is a success story that started in Biel, Switzerland in 1908. K?ng, Sigg & Cie. manufactured leisure goods, kitchenware, and electrical appliances. The company relocated to Frauenfeld in 1916, where it helped pioneer the legendary tradition of Swiss quality. Since 1998, SIGG has concentrated on its core business: drinking bottles that deliver ultimate customer benefit.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Can Sigg bottles be used for boiling water?
A: No. Strong heat can damage the outer coating.

Q: Can dents in the bottle damage the Sigg bottle’s inner coating?
A: No, the Sigg inner coating is highly elastic. Dents cannot crack or chip the internal lining and the Sigg bottle remains perfectly usable.

Q: Can I use my Sigg bottle for carbonated drinks?
A: Yes, all Sigg bottle tops provide a 100 percent seal and will not leak. It’s recommended that you fill the bottle no further than 1/2-inch below the lip. And before taking a drink, relieve the pressure inside the bottle by gently rotating the entire top.

Q: Are Sigg bottles dishwasher safe?
A: Yes, but because of the narrow mouth of the bottle, hand washing is recommended.

Q: Can a Sigg bottle be placed in the freezer
A: No, as this may cause the bottle to crack. However, the bottle can be chilled in the refrigerator.

Customer Review: Sigg 1.0 Liter Water Bottle
These bottles are very fashionable. They’re light-weight and well made. I only have one complaint - drinking directly from the bottle is uncomfortable because of the sharp screw ridges. The ridges are inside the bottle where you might not think your lip would ever touch, but mine does just barely. I haven’t cut my lip yet, but it’s still unpleasant to feel those sharp ridges. I tried the Sport Top in order to avoid the ridges, but it doesn’t work properly. Maybe I’ll get used to the ridges eventually and not notice them anymore.

By the way, I docked two stars for the sharp ridges, and one more for the poor quality accessories that Sigg sells for these bottles (the useless Sport Top and a poorly-fitting insulated pouch), which were a waste of money.
Customer Review: Love it!
Love this bottle! Looks awesome. Keep water cool. Easy to carry with me. Isn’t made of plastic so it doesn’t leach chemicals into my water.
