Code can only be used once
lol new account…
Once per email /address?
Worked fine for me including free postage
This poor company…
Worked fine for me
Go for the mixed boxes, that way you can get 5 protein bars, 6 snack bars or 8 mixed.

* https://bluedinosaur.com.au/collections/mixed-boxes/products…Can confirm they worked…. past tense, I think they have been excluded now
Feel bad is this ethical ?
i see freebies as marketing, like they chose to give stuff away instead of putting a poster at a bus stop
FWIW I'm not gonna buy anything from the siteI think it is, I will get a free trial of a product I probably wont have otherwise tried, and If I love it, I will consider it next time I crave a snack
If this gets cancelled….
Ordered without issue, don't have confidence that it will be honoured.
Pretty sure orders will get cancelled once ozbargained….Fingers crossed xxxxxx
I don't eat junk even it's free
Code entered where?
at check out, it says 'discount code, add it there
Yep found it. Didn't appear to show on mobile
I am sure the standard response will be:
Unfortunately we are a small company and cannot full-fill these orders. bla bla bla.
Sure, why not.
if they can afford to sponsor AFLW North Melbourne….
https://bluedinosaur.com.au/blogs/news/north-melbourne-tasma…Probably wouldn't cost much to sponsor an AFLW team though….
haha true
I wonder if they will have any smashed avo?
Ordered 8 pack because white chocolate and cheese cake something something nom nom nom
Thanks op. got 3x for partner, friend and myself
Doesnt work anymore
SNACKYEAH discount code isn’t valid for the items in your cart
Code isn't working for me
Poor dinosaur, the army of ozbargain is strong
Don't forget to make an order where you pay a few dollars. Less chance to get picked up.
Its showing code isn't valid for my cart.
Lol I like how your post received more attention than mine.
lol…
I have another deal for $20 credit on something with a small business but I'm not posting this one hahaha, no way they will fulfil orders
yeah, i feel kinda bad now…
"$0" is what gets the clicks
Over 300 orders every 10minutes…
Have a read of their story
https://bluedinosaur.com.au/pages/our-story
I dont think this one is ethical, they arent a huge company
If they cancel I won't be too upset. That being said $5 for a protein bar is a bit ridiculous.
It's pretty standard for a decent bar at RRP.
I think they would have to be ethnical or they would be racist.
i feel bad for posting it now………
I jumped on it immediately - Usually wouldnt think twice with huge corporations, but then I had a read of their website and asked them to cancel my order or charge me the actual value
It's kind of like when the Timley Coffee promo got posted. They honoured. Wonder if they benefited from it in the long-run.
this is a great way to try the promo. the people running this arent dumb.
I would say they did this as a trial.Who would have even heard of them, now if people like them, its cheap advertising really
These are sold in USA also.
I literally just made the deadline and ordered around 12:41pm haha. Couldn't get free shipping even after changing from express. Still cheap as chips for $8.75 and possibly less of a chance it will get cancelled on me.
I couldn't bring myself to order from this company… feels like I'm stealing 😅
I did and then read about them (https://bluedinosaur.com.au/pages/our-story) and sent them an email apologizing and requesting order cancellation
Tough crowd
ikr
3 Ozbargainers walk into a bar.
It was metal.
Boom tish.
I genuinely want to try this flavour but missed out :(
If only there was a way you could still buy it
If I see it in the shop I will!
The code still working, but only for boxes of 12 units.
Users pretending that they are model citizens by backing out and only buying from ethical companies.
This is a bargain website. This was a bargain.
They're not saying the company isn't ethical, they're saying that they feel it is unethical to OzBargain a [I assume] small business.
Not picking a side here, just clarifying.
by backing out
by supposedly backing out
Because I need to further explain myself to some nerd on Ozbargain?
Read again - not ethical company, but unethical to rip off a small family business
Hello Bargain (and snack bar) hunters. Well that was quite a stampede, over 1200 orders in an hour (yikes). We are a small biz as some of you have commented, but we are also aware that this was an error on our part (honest and expensive) so we feel morally obliged as a company to fulfil your orders. With such crazy volume & two 3PL staff, please be patient with receiving your bars, and we hope you love the products so much that you will be back for more at slightly less of a discount. Thanks, Jarrad from the Blue Dinosaur Team. *the code is still available until Friday as stated in the email (you may not have received), for orders of Boxes only.
Why do they taste so atrocious?
For people debating whether or not they're a small company. Some things to take into account…
Looking at their stockists https://bluedinosaur.com.au/pages/store-locator, they seem to be all over the world and have 1482 in Australia alone.
They're big enough to pay bakeries to manufacture their products (https://bluedinosaur.com.au/pages/faqs), so the video at the beginning is slightly misleading as to how their products are made now. No hand baking by the couple.
Here's the big one. The family business was bought out by Forbidden Foods for $4 million in 2021 (https://www.foodanddrinkbusiness.com.au/news/forbidden-foods-acquires-blue-dinosaur-for-4m#:~:text=Forbidden%20Foods%20has%20forecast%20its,to%20strengthen%20global%20market%20distribution.. Forbidden Foods is a company listed on the ASX (https://www2.asx.com.au/markets/company/fff)
Not saying it's a huge company, but the idea that this is a still a small family run business is not true.
I wonder if Blue Dinosaur will respond to this.
In a move to increase its presence in the rapidly developing plant-based food sector, Forbidden Foods has acquired plant-based snack bar company Blue Dinosaur for $4 million.
how are they plant based when they use beef collagen in their protein bars??
Bruh, the investigating is next level!
I did a tonne of research into healthy snack bars and these came up best. Healthy ingredients, no soy or other bad stuff. Taste pretty good too.
Great email from Blue Dino sent just now. 1200+ orders in an hour. I really do hope people follow up and give them some good reviews if they enjoy the products etc!
Damn that font on their email is annoying. Will follow now and review after I receive the product.
the power of ozbargain, 1200 orders in an hour
I can't believe I caused this lol

Interesting take on a small business, when they are listed on the ASX…….
These guys are to smart to be giving a code away, this is great way for people to try this stuff.
received mine today, thanks OP
Tried it yet? Interested in your feedback.
What are these.. The coffee bar tastes as bad as it looks, like a turd..
This really bottoms the worse things ever tasted,
Is everyone binning there’s?Agreed, yuk. I thought it might be just me so came here to find out.
They're quite nasty. Not worth even if free 🤢
fk me… taste like s#%t! lucky it was free!
I had one bite, nearly spat it out.
Tasted like I was eating dirt
I don't think dirt tastes this bad.
Hahaha these comments are brutal.. haven't tried yet but keen to. Reading the ingredients list it makes sense, it's a pretty barebones protein bar. But then again I wouldn't expect a product they actually want people to buy to get so many bad review.. maybe wrong market. I remember when I used to drink unflavoured rice and pea protein.. surely this is much better than drinking that.
Bars were just hand delivered by post lady banging on my door, not sure why she didn't place the package in the letter box, she must have known it was important……… and yikes, no wonder they are giving them away. Not quite sure which ingredient is making this foul taste, but damn can't have another bite.
Oh my god just got the cookie dough ones and wow they are as bad as everyone is saying.
They're so bad
Can’t believe how bad they taste. Peanut butter tastes burnt, plastic and is totally dry. I nearly had a litre of milk to get the taste out of my mouth. The chocolate one is a little bit better. Very chewy and I would eat it if I would have nothing else to eat in emergencies. I rather eat that than die. I wonder if they did this by purpose and used us at Guinea pigs. Or did we get all a bad batch they wanted to get rid of anyway? There is no chance in the world I would spend one cent for these bars.
Tastes like barf
I'm super glad I got these for free, because they are absolutely fkn awful. I got a mixed box, and I tried every one of them, and they're all disgusting. Tastes like burnt, dried weetbix soaked in oil with bitter herbs mixed in.
Makes me wonder if this whole thing was some elaborate practical joke.
Do yourself a favour and immediately bin them when they arrive.
Yeah they taste disgusting. I had to spit them out.
Tried cookie dough flavour protein bar. Came in a nicely packaged box.
Then I tasted it.
Gosh. Too many egg whites maybe, inedible. My sister agreed. Even my dog that eats anything didn’t want a bite.
Boy oh boy. Just took a bite.
Wow. That was gross. What the hell?
I guess everybody just got unlucky and this was a bad batch.
Yowsa - I'm sure I've had their Lamington bars in the past and they've been OK - but these cookie dough ones are inedible.
Just recieved mine. The brownie bites were soo delicious, taste like they were just freshly made. Energy bars also taste fantastic. Paleo snack bars: hit and miss, some tasted chemical-y. I'm going to have to stock up on those brownie bites though…
bizzarre, i just went to order more brownie bites and they've vanished from the site, along with their protein bars - oops, was on the US site
Haven't tried the cookie dough ones yet, but had a lamington bar and it was pretty decent. Definitely wasn't inedible, quite coconutty.
Got the cookie dough and agree that it is awful to eat. I almost vomit, have to throw the one in my mouth away.
