I guess I'm a customer, since I bought a few of these (not blueberry) and liked them. Not available where I live unfortunately. IIRC the full ingredient list is there on the package, as well as available online. I found them pretty tasty and without any scary side effects (bloat being a common one with protein bars) -- but I was probably predisposed to like them, since the thing I really dislike about most protein bar brands is that everything tastes like candy bars. I don't want candy after I work out, I want protein that doesn't taste disgusting and ideally is not an extruded animal part. (No idea why Cliff Bars coat everything in "chocolate" but I guess they know their market for the Builder Bars.) The dates are the "glue" so to speak, and there's a pretty long tradition of that in natural foods. There are a couple of different fairly obvious reasons why the founder would have tried dates, and you can hear about them in his How I Built This interview[0]. I'm not convinced that 12g egg protein is as good as 20g whey protein, which is pretty much standard. But I'd happily suspend disbelief in order to get rid of the damned chocolate-caramel-stevia plague.
