Third Estate Sunday Review

The Third Estate Sunday Review focuses on politics and culture. We're an online magazine. We don't play nice and we don't kiss butt. In the words of Tuesday Weld: "I do not ever want to be a huge star. Do you think I want a success? I refused "Bonnie and Clyde" because I was nursing at the time but also because deep down I knew that it was going to be a huge success. The same was true of "Bob and Carol and Fred and Sue" or whatever it was called. It reeked of success."

From The TESR Test Kitchen

Granola bars come in many varieties and picking one can be difficult. Enter Monkey Bars (Chewy Granola Bar) which boasts, "FOR KIDS AND IMMATURE ADULTS" and swears its 100% natural.

It may be 100% natural but it tastes like 100% crap.

Or at least the chocolate peanut butter banana flavor does.

More precisely, it tastes like a few bits of granola sprinkled on top of a brick.

And a bland and tasteless brick at that.

The thick brick layer of peanut butter, banana and chocolate somehow finds all three flavors canceling one another out leaving behind bland.

If you're looking for an actual granola bar, we happen to love Kellogg's Fiber Plus Antioxidants Bar Chocolate Chip.
