I haven't had one yet but it seemed like a good idea to put a few in the glove box in my car for emergencies.

Personally, that is the way I would look at it. Those extra carbs are from sugar alcohols. Every one reacts differently to SA's so I can't say for sure what they will do to you. For the most part though they tend to stall people when eaten on a regular basis. I would say as an "every once and a while" kind of thing, if you are stuck in a bind with nothing else to eat, they are better than nothing (or going off plan) in a pinch.
Be careful, they do start up cravings for some people too. I ate them for a while but I had to stop. I aimed for eating one a week but I started getting obsessed with them and couldn't resist when I had them in the house. Every time I ate one I got cravings and wanted more.
Some people though (it seems to me the minority) eat them on a pretty regular basis with no problems. YMMV-- you mileage may vary. It's a gamble . . . .
