I hate when a small business doesn't realize that just because they market on tiktok doesn't mean they shouldn't be professional. Clapping back with rudeness, cursing and insults is a sure fire way to make people lose respect for you, your product and your business. He shoulda just said "hey, sorry you werent a fan, pure cacao and vanilla are super expensive which is why we charge so much...etc" Imagine if rx bars clapped back on the internet whenever someone called their protein bars nasty smh

Literally all he had to do was say, "Thanks for the review and feedback! We're working on unit cost and constantly trying to improve flavors. Appreciate the recommendation to people with allergy concerns, that's definitely our target audience!" But maybe that's why you should finish school and grow tf up before trying to start a business...

"You think this is expensive? Go buy cheap garbage then", rings of a huge superiority complex. You'd think that someone passionate about health would care about accessibility, but he only wants rich customers consuming his snobby health bar without research backing his claims

I can't believe his selling point is curing his asthma. Any one with asthma knows that's a croc of ish. Bc cleaning up your diet won't stop you from having asthma... if it's food thats causing a breathing issue that's an allergic reaction... not asthma. That's pretty deceptive and I don't understand why he felt he should sell that lie and a really bad one at that, but if he's already deceptive with the sales pitch then it's already involved in the whole process .

my biggest gripe with "organic honey" is that it is impossible to say it is organic because you cannot control bees so wherever they chose to get pollens where they get it lol

"I didn't make this bar for Macro Counting Gym Bros!" >Sends his bar to a Macro Counting Gym Bro for free

Rise protein bars have 3-5 ingredients and 18 grams of protein for around 1.60 a bar. Thats just one option. $5 a bar is ridiculous. GoMacro bars are certified clean at around 2.22 a bar. All organic. There just isnt a reason for a protein bar to be 5 bucks.

Its almost like when kids miss major parts of growing up into an adult, they keep acting like a kid.

For those who don't know what happened to the original video, he took it down and re-uploaded it because the first version had editor notes on screen and some other missing footage.

It's just too expensive. For those prices, you should just get your protein from regular food like steak and chicken.

I made a "healthy" candy bar for a design school once. We needed to think of a product and come up with a pitch and package design, but most of us got understandably caught up in the cooking. Used dark chocolate, acai, honey, some kind of grains. The gimmick was superfoods, so there were a few other flavors.They were rather big. The teachers and students liked them a lot. Not that expensive to make. No way that small thing should be 5 dollars. Also, they use too many ingredients, his marketing pitch is nonsensical and the shape he chose actually makes the manufacturing less efficient. There is a reason so many things like this are bars. They're far easier to prep in large batches. Further, his packaging looks like ice cream, which isn’t healthy.

The packaging made me think they where soap bars

I was halfway through this video yesterday before it got taken down 😭😭

48:00 Chef here, people do eat with their eyes first. The key point he's missing is they aren't eating the packaging. Bro missed the point.

I'm curious about his organic ingredients because anybody can put organic on a label but for it to officially be organic it has to be USDA stamped meaning inspected by his state government officials in the department of agriculture

peanutbutter oatmeal bars with protein powder and cranberries. amazingly easy bars to make at home, tastes like picnic. Feel full, energized, and light afterwards.

The only reason why Madagascar vanilla is so expensive is just because it's naturally pollinated flowers while other other places have to do it manually because the pollinators only live where vanilla orchids grow natively

When i heard organic vanilla i instantly knew why the bar cost so much. If that means he is buying the plant vanilla comes from, yeah, that bar is gonna cost every bit of 5 dollars

The one question nobody asked Jacob is.. where is he getting that chocolate from? Because I think most of us know the horrific conditions that cocoa farmers face everyday.

I want to see REAL DRAMA! Make a candy flavor named Jakob that is 100% sugar. Just a huge block of pure sugar

Is that the BoJack Horseman theme every time you curse? 🤣

Maybe it wasn't asthma to begin with. Maybe he had an allergy to a certain ingredient that activated an asthmatic response

17:34 “if I wanted something to taste bad, I’d have made it myself” Caleb Phelps, owner of a candy company

Makes protein bar. Gets upset the only people who eat them dont like them. This is akin to "im gonna make a new fishing hook....all these fisherman are hating on my hook. I didnt make it for them."

I watched the first vid go down in real time, I was less than two minutes in. NOT missing this one.

So basically this is a jacked-up, meatless pemmican bar. I can make this at home. Not that there's anything wrong with that -- convenience food has a solid purpose in modern society. Jacked Up would be a better name than Jacob.

as someone who DOES have asthma, unless this guy has a specific food allergy or intolerance, food typically doesn't really have much of an impact on asthma to make it "worse" in the way jacob described. assuming he's telling the truth about having asthma and all that, he could have just gone to a doctor to find out if he had a food allergy or intolerance to a specific preservative or ingredient in what he was eating. if he made a business around that ("i have this specific allergy/intolerance so i made this protein bar that i can safely eat without concern for my health"), i think his protein bar could have been a hit in a niche market with proper product testing/reviews from within that market.

“He dropped out of school to follow his dream . . . Elementary school” 😂

He could use molasses instead of straight cane sugar, it's a little less harmful, and a little more nutritious than cane sugar. Molasses is actually a by-product of the sugar cane. It would probably go well with chocolate and vanilla, and it's better for you than cane sugar, and waaay better than high-fructose corn syrup. Heck, maybe he could even use maple syrup. A pecan maple protein bar would go hard

Lol "little guys" makes me think about gummies. Bears, worms, strawberry butts, just little guys!

I’m ngl, I love that you reviewed the product yourself at the end and gave him a fair shake. It was refreshing!!

Shame, I'm asthmatic too, but dates come with a type of mold on them (which is safe for most people to eat), which a lot of asthmatics with allergies can't eat. I'll have to stick to Power Crunch and Fit Crunch.

I somehow managed to watch this entire video yesterday. didn't even know it got taken down until now💀

Any time I hear the word "organic" now I think "expensive empty promises"...the word just means nothing to me any more.

He probably called it the "Jake Bar" to imitate the "Clif Bar", which is also named after it's creator, or so their packaging says.

Grass fed just means that the cows were grass fed for the first 10 months of their lives. A majority of cattle raised are grass fed until they are 10 months old, until they are moved into the big cattle area with the other adult cows where they are fed goyslop.

very valid criticism "premium product" is just a markiting term used to try to get more money out of people most of the time, it really shouldnt be $5 a bar and taste does matter, its a food product if it tastes bad then its probably a bad product. while i can commend jacob for putting in the work to do something like this he does have to accept criticism especially when he himself sent it to a reviewer "my bar is meant for those that want natural clean ingredients....but only for those that can afford $5 a bar and dont mind eating stuff that may taste bad" bro doesnt really have much of a market if thats what he is going for and should not be surprised when people dont like it

Its not even a bar! Its a round.

Business owners need to be careful responding to reviews of their product/service. I understand the need to defend your idea you shouldn’t. The review of the bar was not bad. It was basic and straight to the point. He just said this is what I don’t like. Jacob’s truly didn’t need to respond. His response sounded as if he just expected the review to either say something positive or say nothing at all. Doesn’t work that way

Lot of people in the comments missing the entire point of calling out how he claims something not in his proteins bars was triggering massive asthma but can't say what it was. No ones saying food doesnt trigger asthma, we are pointing out him not saying what it was that he made his bar to avoid is kinda sus. Also who tf is replacing a meal with 1 single protein bar? No one who has issues with cooking is going to just rely on a 5 dollar bar.

If you're making health claims, you have to be specific as heck

*Jacob bars are made of people!!! You've gotta tell them, you've gotta warn them all!!" - Soylent Green circa late 70's

Jacob reminds me of the pink sauce lady. I'm waiting for him to hold FFGF's hand and say "you're not special". I'm not surprised he's upset at the honest review because he's still a kid.

it’s funny how he named the bars just jacob😂

$5 for one bar is insane

One time I bought protein bars made from Wheatgrass. They tasted..... like grass. I, in a weird way, kind of liked them - especially with all the health benefits, and I love green vegetables so the grass taste wasn't terrible for me. But they absolutely tasted like grass, and even when I recommended them, I told people it tastes like grass, you might not like it. It's okay for healthy stuff not to taste great, just be honest if it doesn't.

Trust me i hate pokimane, but legally if you want to sell food in the USA and it has added vitamen D according to the FDA you legally have to put it on the label, its not her trying to say its healthy its just her making it legally available under United States food law

Organic Honey?🤨 How? Special bees that know which flowers to pollinate? Doubtful dude.

A bad reviewer is one that says nice things about a product that they got for free.

9:40 Does no one else notice the Spanish music in the background for the real workers making these bars 😂

if you pack dates into an organic bar it's going to taste like candy with no added sugar. It packs a punch.

I have a weakness for KitKat and I stg the last couple times the chocolate tasted SO waxy. If chocolate costs are up 300%, I wonder if they reformulated.

As a lifelong asthmatic, I was told to avoid a few things. 1. Anything super acidic. Including juices. 2.Eggs. 3. Anything that can dehydrate. 4. Excessive humidity. 5. Anything that smokes. Hope this helps someone.

51:14 that overpaid Madagascar vanilla extract must've been worth the "not bad"

"If I wanted it to taste bad I'd make it myself" is so real

Law professor told my class on day one: “The Constitution is whatever 5 out of the 9 justices say it is.”

I really like when Oompa has talked about Myna and now the Jacob bar. He seems like he has quite a bit on insight about nutrition and it holds my attention way better than his other videos tbh

It's well known that especially in the US you need to have a lot of money to eat healthy.

For 5 dollars I could get a piece of chicken breast that will give me 40 g protein or more. Simple ingredients: chicken. If you have a BJ's or Costco membership, for 4.79 you can get a whole roasted chicken which yields over 100 g protein OR a box of 4 roasted chicken thighs that yield about 45 G of protein PER thigh.

$5 for a protein bar? I can walk into the grocery store with a $5 bill, get two pounds of chicken thighs, and still have enough for a 99¢ water bottle.

Jake naming his company Jacob reminds me of a toddler naming the cat Kitty and their teddy bear Mr. Bear

"If I wanted something to taste bad, I would've made it myself." 😭😭😁😁

Jacob: "This is my molehill, and I'll die on it."

Have we not learned anything from Pink sauce lady

Stevia was instantly my first thought when he said about the sweetness. Or just use more honey. If your point is being natural, it doesnt have to be gross

Bro, you LEGALLY have to list the Vitamin D in “organic” products in order for them to be FDA Approved.

I have asthma since birth, you can not just make it go away from eating better. Sure, there's different levels of intensity but it will never go away, it's just manageable.

Are “little guys” gonna be like air head extremes bites? Because those are my jam. Those are my “intra workout” snacky snacks.

26:00 aka if you like flavorless ricecakes and plain water you'll LOVE this.

I'm gonna doubt that in 10 years of seeing doctors, he was never asked what he was eating.

I actually designed a pen to sell. It is shaped like a star and the ink is made from live squids so it's uncomfortable to use while also being very ineffective as a writing utensil.

Jacob sounds like a kid who grew up with rich parents and has never done a day of real work in his life.

Honestly inflammation has ruined my life but like a number 2a at McDonald’s is bussin

Jacob woke up fighting. I honestly though 5$ for a protein bar was close to the going rate. Its whatever I could see me personally spending 5$ on protein bars but that guy lives in a different multiverse

5:40 while I never dropped out of school to fix my asthma I at the very least tortured myself by rigorously running cross country all throughout my middle school career until my body was forced to improve my lungs in order to continue me going about the sport and so through training in a sport that I love alone I was able to force them to grow outside of what they were restricted to to my genetic disposition of asthma

the bojack sound 💀

The shadow of farmer Dan on the back wall is my favorite oompaverse character

I never thought I'd find anyone as Dr. Pepper enthusiastic as i am (besides forrest gump). I am full on addicted. I have an extremely specific thirst that only the doctor can slake.

Depending on where jake is, he may have to pay ficticious name licenses if his company isn't his own name.

Oomp I saw the thumbnail yesterday before it went private, blue balled me fam.. blue balled me😂😂

THE BOJACK HORSEMAN SOUNDS WHEN HE CUSSES THROWS ME FOR A LOOP EVERYTIME HAHA

Jacob on that Disney Star Wars defense

When is Sour Boys getting retailers, if at all, I would love to see it in stores.

He should have marketed it to Amazon's Whole Foods. Right up their alley and pricing

Appreciate that you actually tried and reviewed the different flavors

You got too much money if you don't know $5 is too much for a protein bar.

Cleaner bars usually do taste worst. That’s the price of health sometimes I guess though😭😂

In my opinion, if you’re looking for mainly protein and somethings that’s clean at the same time, it’s not gonna taste the best. Even with protein powders for shakes, the cleaner it is, the less sweet it is. I think it just depends on what you want 🤷🏻‍♀️

Oomp single-handedly walks me through every single day. Especially in this time of panic attacks and things going on, you never fail to give me a laugh!

Bro spitting fast, He's livid lol

It did in fact not go well

Jacob can add a natural sweetener like sugar cane extract the juice and use it to make his product more sweet, instead of reacting negatively to the criticism he should take from it and learn, especially charging 5 dollars per bar. He should equal quality with the price.

the bojack sound effects in the last few videos go hard 😤

You had me dying when you grabbed that dr pepper😂

That 'Jacob' character looks like a living Face Filter......

I can count on OomPapa to hit me with déjà vu.

My guy was not ready to open a business

The only difference between natural and artificial vanillin is that the natural stuff has carbon-14 in it. You literally cannot separate them with anything short of a mass spectrometer or radiation detector. There’s no reason to go with the natural stuff over high-purity synthetic here. Cleaner and saves money

as a candymaker yourself, why are people against using cane sugar?

I am curious what foods trigger his asthma as that is the first I ever heard of it. Usually heat, exercise and if there is no airflow will trigger my asthma. I never heard of a bad diet triggering asthma.
