Insurgent Brands (previously the Chicago Bar Company) is known for making the RXBAR—a whole food protein bar prepared with real ingredients—and it is now launching a new sub-brand called TIG Snacks that is being called "the rebellious child of the organization.”
TIG Snacks is described as being "WTF," or "Wholesome Tasty Food," and it will introduce consumers to bars made with puffed chickpeas, roasted green lentils and crispy wild rice in bold savory flavors like Buffalo, BBQ and Pizza. These bars are set to fill a void in the market for savory, crunchy bars that are more focused on fun than performance. Although TIG Snacks puts an emphasis on some of the most popular junk food flavors, it offers snacks that are surprisingly wholesome, vibrant and nutritious.
