Uncle Bill's Nutrition Bricks

Uncle Bill's were the first nutritional products targeted directly towards vampires. The bricks have become a staple amongst those infected with vampirism due to its careful and efficient balance of nutrients to meet their dietary needs. Their taste can be described in such colorful language as "dehydrated bark," "metallic dirt," and "bear droppings," but these provide no major drawback among their target audience due to the vampires' inability to taste. The bricks do come in multiple texture options in an effort to provide some sense of variety.   Uncle Bill's covert marketing campaign also appealed to those accustomed to spending long stretches alone or traveling, for use as emergency rations. Due to the lackluster taste they were considered a last resort before starvation, although some creative individuals developed recipes for soups and stews with the bricks as their main nutritional component.   This popularity outside the target demographic led to the development of CEN Kits by a small team of entrepreneurs seeking to resolve the issue of taste from Uncle Bill's Nutrition Bricks. Most non-vampires have since switched to the use of CENs, although some still keep a few Uncle Bill's bricks due to their much longer shelf life.
