i just bought a box...didnt even realize the change. DAMMIT!!@
I know, that's the major problem I have. Absolutly NO communication with vendors or consumers (no visible change has been made on the package, and even the SesaTrim logo is still on the dam*ed thing) and shady packaging (or a HUGE mistake by using the old boxes and not updating the bar packaging).
I mean why would they rip out the things that made ZI the best bar on the market imo (and the only ones I would eat at this point)? A few dollars per box? I'd most likely pay a bit more to keep the profile as it were. With that said, they are still very good bars... but now they've lost their edge and became just another bar.
I could see companies I trust handling this problem in a much less sneaky way. For example, I could see Controlled Labs, USPLabs, AN, MST, PAL, and many more all doing a bit of research in the market including forum fishing before making such a change, and then COMMUNICATING with the people who keep them in business. I could imagine a thread entitled "Help us decide: Zero Impact needs your opinion" or something like that. But not VPX? Why not?
LOL, it seems a bit of an overreaction now that i read the above... but still.
