Snickers' Tastebud Training Prepares Fans for Snickers Hi Protein

Snickers debuted a Tastebud Training program with the intention of preparing fans for its newest innovation, Snickers Hi Protein. Fans who want to take their tastebuds to the next level are guided by actor, comedian and host Joel McHale, who partnered with his trainer and Snickers.

The program features fun exercises like the warmup Face Flex, the Lip Trill to enhance flavor intake, Bar Bites and Satisfied Smile to finish it all off with "a low-intensity cooldown to aid flavor receptor recovery." For a limited time, fans can enter for their chance to win a solo training session with Joel McHale and free Snickers Hi Protein bars.

Snickers Hi Protein boasts 20g of protein per bar, treating people to an experience that delivers on nutritional value and flavor in a category where active individuals often have to settle for one or the other.
