I bought a fruit bar at Trader Joe's and wondered who actually makes them since they cut a deal with other companies to put their name and packaging.
The item I bought at Trader Joe's was: Trader Joe's Fruit Bar Apple + Strawberry. I went searching online and found a company that makes the same thing.
Here's the item at Trader Joe's.
http://www.traderjoes.com/fearless-flyer/article/1788
Here's the item on That's it website.
http://shop.thatsitfruit.com/fruit-bars/
They do have more flavors, but I think they must have asked which are the most popular flavors and purchased those instead.
So here's one item from Trader Joe's uncovered.
Note: I didn't check the ingredients, but since there's only two in each bar I think this has to be it.
Enjoy!
I like them because they're 90 calories each bar and are quite filling. Reminds me of Fruit Roll-Ups, but without all that sugar.

Eggplant...
I left my house in the morning for work. I saw a Japanese eggplant lying in the side walk. I wonder who dropped it. When was it left there? Did it fall off a truck? I wonder if my brother would see it when he left for work. I know he wouldn’t rescue it since he doesn’t like eating them.
After a long day of work I could only wonder what happen to the eggplant I saw in the morning. I came home to find a spot where it was. At first I thought it was a dead animal because it was of the same color, but instead I had to face the fact that it was the eggplant.
I still wonder how that eggplant ended up in the crosswalk near my house.
Capricorn Horoscope: You're totally focused on your work today, but you may be having a hard time connecting with the people you need to reach. Communication may need to wait for a few more days at the least.

The Best Thing I Ever Ate...
One night I was bored. I found myself on the Food Network. I saw the strangest yet fascinating show on. The show's name, The Best Thing I Ever Ate. I started to watch and thought, the people on the show are professionals and they should know what's the best thing to eat.
After watching one episode I am now hooked. I might not watch it, but I always check out the website to find out if there are any places in San Francisco worth trying. Much to my surprise there actually are. They're in Bay Area, which would cover more than San Francisco.
I went to Food Network and decided to make a map of my own. And this is what became of it:

I admit it's not pretty, but once I start something I try to maintain it. There's a lot of places and if you get the chance go and try them out.
Horoscope: You have enough good ideas. You don't need to take credit for someone else's

Seven Cups of Coffee a Day May Lead to Hallucinations (Update1)
Jan. 14 (Bloomberg) -- Consuming the caffeine in seven cups of instant coffee a day may leave you more likely to see, hear and smell things that aren’t there, U.K. researchers said.
People who drink at least 330 milligrams of the stimulant a day were three times as likely to have hallucinations as those who consumed less than 10 milligrams a day, Durham University researchers found in a study of 219 college students published today in Personality and Individual Differences.
The study, the first to link caffeine and hallucinations, explored the relationship between high caffeine consumption and an increased release of cortisol, a stress hormone believed to contribute to delusions, lead researcher Simon Jones said. It forms the first step toward examining nutrition as a factor in the occurrence of hallucinations, he said.
“Given the link between food and mood, and particularly between caffeine and the body’s response to stress, it seems sensible to examine what a nutritional perspective might add,” Jones said in a statement.
It may also be that people under stress and more susceptible to hallucinations are also more likely to consume high levels of caffeine, Jones said in an interview. Caffeine is also contained in tea, chocolate, energy drinks, and some foods.
“There would be no real reason for me to stop drinking tea,” said Jones. “I don’t see a reason to change a moderate intake.”
Starbucks
The amount of caffeine linked to hallucinations in the study would also be equivalent to about seven 8-ounce cups of brewed black tea or about 3 1/2 8-ounce cups of brewed black coffee, according to the Mayo Clinic Web site. One 16-ounce Starbucks Corp. drip coffee also has 330 milligrams of caffeine, according to the Starbucks Web site.
Starbucks spokeswoman Tara Darrow declined to comment in an email, saying the Seattle-based company was aware of the research but hadn’t been able to review how it was conducted.
The U.K. researchers used surveys to assess daily caffeine intake and past experience with hallucinations. Cigarette smokers, known to be more sensitive to caffeine, weren’t allowed to participate, and volunteers’ stress levels and proneness to hallucinatory experiences were taken into account.
Nine of the 22 people in the highest-caffeine group reported hearing disembodied voices, compared with three of the 22 people in the lowest-caffeine group, Jones said. Participants also reported seeing things that weren’t there and sensing the presence of dead people.
