Trader Joe’s says: Trader Joe's 100% Pineapple Fruit Bar contains nothing other than 100% sweet, ripe pineapple which is ground into a paste and made into a delicious dried fruit treat. No flavors or fillers of any kind have been added.

We say: Trader Joe’s 100% All Fruit Pineapple Fruit Bar is a good snack. It isn’t super filling, but it provides plenty of flavor. It tastes more like canned pineapple than fresh pineapple, but I like canned pineapple. It is surprisingly tart and makes me gleek on my keyboard at least once every time I eat one. (Gleeking is accidental spitting. I’m not sure how well known this word is, but it is on Wikipedia, so I am going to use it even though the spell check says it doesn’t exist.) I appreciate that the fruit bar is 100% fruit and preservative free. Rather than reaching for a peanut butter cup out of my colleagues’ snack drawer, I’m going to try to stick to fruit bars.

Abi just informed me that it is only one Weight Watchers point. This means that if I was on the Weight Watchers program I could eat 20 of them a day (and nothing else). I don’t think that would satisfy me, but I’m not sure that any 20 Weight Watchers points would satisfy me, so I won’t dock any points for this.
