Last friday, even before the Pacquiao vs Marquez fight, I was witness to a fight between two… chocolate bars. Aby mentioned that Choco Mucho is her version of the power bar. I’ve always had Cloud 9 as my version of the power bar. Always in pursuit of the truth… and something to munch on, I got a bar of each and compared. First, the tale of the tape:
| CLOUD 9 | CHOCO MUCHO | |
| Luscious Caramel, Crunchy Peanuts and Soft Nougat in Rich Chocolate | Description | Milk Chocolate Caramel Wafer Roll Cereal Crispies |
| 30g | Weight | 30g |
| 2g | Protein | 1g |
| 23g | Carbohydrates | 20g |
| 5g | Fats | 7g |
| P7 | Price | P7 |
| URC | Manufacturer | Rebisco |
And then it was the all important taste test. When the smoke cleared… and only the wrappers remained, the winner was Cloud 9 (sorry Aby :P)! Choco Mucho is bigger and crunchier but pound per pound gram per gram Cloud 9 just got more bang for the buck peso. More carbs and protein and less undesirable fats in a tastier and smaller package that allows you to cram more into your pocket. It has successfully defended its belt and shall remain my version of the power bar… for now.
