The Hooah Bar™

Tastes like motivation and abandonment.

UNIT PRICE$89.00

The Hooah Bar™ is an artisanal interpretation of the Army's legendary field ration energy bar — a product that has been in some version of continuous service since the 1990s and which every soldier has eaten out of desperation at least once. Our version is hand-produced in small batches, chocolate-malt base, 600 calories, and finished with a note that our tasting panel described as 'motivation' on the front end and 'abandonment' on the finish.

It is $89. This price reflects the craft process, the premium ingredients, and the understanding that the soldier who needs a Hooah Bar at 0300 will pay $89 without thinking about it. We have priced it accordingly. There is no multi-pack discount. There is no loyalty program. There is only the bar.

Limit one per 24-hour period. Not because of any medical reason. Because the Army has always limited the good things. You already know this.

The Marine Corps sells their Culinary Coloring Sticks for $34.99 a dozen. They taste approximately the same and cost $54 less. We respect the market.

After-Action Reports

★★★★★1LT Caleb Fontaine

I ate this at 0200 before a battalion FTX. I felt like I understood the Army for about 45 minutes. Then the feeling passed and I was just cold. Worth $89.

★★★☆☆SPC Nguyen Ha-Lin

Tastes exactly like the original. I do not know if that is a compliment. I bought two.

★★★★★COL Warren Albright

I keep one in my desk. I have not eaten it. Its presence alone increases my productivity by an estimated 12%. I will eat it when I retire.
