Bar-o'-Shrimp

Bar-o'-Shrimp is a protein-rich snack produced by QTF Inc. and is found in most markets in the "sports, energy, and supplements" aisle. 
== Composition ==
The basic type of Bar-o'-Shrimp is composed of 90% small crustacean parts (not necessarily actual shrimps), as well as various seeds (4%) salt, glutamate and various preservants and supplements (1%). 
The orangish colour of the exterior coating is derived from crustacean chitin, which is thought to be important for the health of the digestive system and thought to have antioxidant properties. The "filling" is almost entirely composed of crustacean flesh and viscera (including eyes and other organs); it is enriched with seeds, mostly chia, sunflower and dragonfruit.
It is enriched with vitamins (A,D,E,C,K) and various untested chemicals because controlled trials are expensive.
Taste
Many people found that the bar had a very 'seafoody' taste, which is obvious because it is made from crustaceans mostly found in the sea.
== Controversies ==
* In 1998, 2 unconfirmed reports of Flopstanince-213 contamination in the bars were leaked by a hacker group on the internet. This was labeled by the media as a conspiracy theory, citing that no incidents with Flopastanince-213 had occurred and that the production factory was well away from the nearest center of Flopstanince-213 contamination.
* People are, to this day, extremely upset that no choco version of the bars exists.
