No evidence of any significant notability. A claim to be "the first energy bar" is not substantiated . Claims in other articles suggest that others might stake similar claims. A single reference about a take over and nothing else. Fails WP:GNG Velella Velella Talk 21:16, 1 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

- Weak keep It isn't hard to find info: Food Business News, Food Navigator, Biz Journals, Free Lance-Star (1998), Toledo Blade (1999). Much of it is about the sale of PowerBar by Post, but there are also mentions in sports events. It may well be a "has-been", based on articles I found from the late 90's, but that means that it could be historically notable. It was one of the early sports bars, a product line that may be waning. LaMona (talk) 04:27, 7 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Strong Keep, this WAS the first energy bar, they did operate out of one of the few highrises in Berkeley, their sign was a local landmark for years. it needs refs, to be sure.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 05:58, 7 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
