Olympia Granola Unveils Life-Size Granola Bar

Posted: January 23, 2012

“Granola Guy” seeks to rid the world of suspicious ingredients and spread the truth about all-natural gourmet granola bars.

North Branch, MN -- The world’s premier producer of gourmet granola bars has a new spokesperson, and he’s ready to take a bite out of unhealthy eating habits.

In a bold move Wednesday, Olympia Granola signed a deal with one whom many are calling the world’s healthiest mascot. Granola Guy is a high-energy, high-protein, high-fiber kick-in-the-face to the plethora of non-natural food energy sources. Despite his track record of fighting flaky nutrition, it’s only now that this granola guru has decided to go public with his message.

“Now more than ever, people need to know the truth about what they’re eating,” said Granola Guy. “In my opinion, Olympia Granola has nothing to hide and everything to love. Besides, it’s hip to be square.”

Olympia Granola plans to make Granola Guy a very visible presence – and a reminder that you are what you eat – at various races, outdoor events, and tradeshows in the coming year.

 “I think Granola Guy is going to be an excellent addition to our team,” said Bill Forsman, President of Olympia Granola. “He’s going to make this world a healthier place – one granola bar at a time.”

When he's not at shows and events, Granola Guy spends his time exercising, eating right, and fielding questions about his entrance into the public square. “I mean, call me dense, but I’m just a simple guy with a simple mission. All I want is to help people live healthier, more productive lives.” 

Apparently, great food speaks for itself.

Bars Are Food (We Agree!)

Posted: April 6, 2010

The industry website BarsAreFood.com recently reviewed our Chocolate Peanut Trail bar, with delicious results.

"All in all, this bar tastes very much like something that you'd make at home - and we meant that in a good way."

With a 4.5 out of 5 stars we're pretty pleased.(Our 2 servings per bar nutritional info threw them off. Some folks break the bar in two - personally, we gobble down the whole thing!)

Many thanks to the team at Bars are Food for their kind words.
