I bought some lennys off amazon after trying one from Walmart. I think the kind I got was white chocolate and macadamia nuts. It's the only bar I've ever got from amazon where the nuts were rancid. Not a really good quality control effort imo. Don't know if it was Amazon's fault in how they stored them or maybe they knew and wanted to try to dump them at a sale price
Feels like a scam when the front says "16 grams protein" but then the nutrition label tells you that a serving is actually half a cookie (who would ever eat half a cookie?) and that it has 8g of protein. 460 calories and 28g of added sugar per cookie is generally a lot for people who count their grams of protein, so I'm not sure who this product is targeting, but I'm not surprised it's on sale.

I never understood the hate these things get. They're like halfway between a sugary snack and a hardcore meal replacement. They're my go-to "meal" in an airport to make sure I don't get sick on my next flight. That said I don't eat them much when I'm not traveling and eating more regular meals.

That's almost as deceptive as the nutritional information on those god-awful Crumbl cookies
Obviously Crumbl isn't being marketed as a healthy food, but they list their "serving size" as between 1/4 and 1/7 of a cookie.

What have they done beside shady marketing tactics?
I don't know that "lying about the nutritional content" of a product is merely shady… a class action settlement found that their claims of 16g of protein per cookie was WAY off the actual amount in a cookie. Like, the actual content was as much as 75% less than they claimed.
I would get them once in a while before that suit hit, and they are reasonably good, but I had my suspicions about the protein content since most bars/cookies like this have a distinct metallic aftertaste to me, and these lacked it completely.

Oh when I said shady I meant advertising the protein content of a whole cookie when a serving is supposedly half. I wasn't aware that the protein wasn't even there.

Yeah. I think most people wouldn't even call that shady now that it's so prevalent. A 20oz bottle of cola is "about" 2.5 servings, but how many people won't drink the entire bottle after they open it?
As far as I'm concerned, the "serving size" is one bottle in that case. Same for these (and Crumbl) cookies; nobody is eating less than half of one unless they're making a conscious effort to watch their caloric intake without sacrificing any foods.

I wouldn't be upset about a cookie being 2 servings had they not advertised the protein content of 2 servings on the front.

That's fair, especially since their flashy labeling calls out "per cookie" instead of "per serving". It's not technically incorrect which is what makes it shady, but I think that this illustrates that they don't expect anyone is eating a "serving", they know people are eating the whole cookie and marketing it as a "health food" anyway.
Don't get me wrong, the times I've had these, they're fine if you need something in a pinch (like being stuck in an airport with few dining options), but the advertising and failing to include the major ingredient they tout now drives me to buy a pack of mixed nuts instead.
