100 Calorie Bars
My girlfriend and I went grocery shopping this evening and as we were going through the snacks isle, she decided she wanted to try these new 100 calorie snack bars from Quaker Oats. Now, I prefer the regular kind because they have Apple crisp flavored ones. So I grab my kind and decide to compare the calorie count. Guess how much? 100 calories!!
That’s right, both the regular and “special 100 calorie” snack bars had 100 calories. And, get this; the size of the special bars is 22g while the regular is 26g. Plus the special bars had 3.5g of fat while the regular had 2g of fat.
What a fucking rip off!
And, while I’m on the subject, those 100 calorie ‘thin’ chocolate bars are a fucking rip off as well. Sure they have less than half the calories of a regular sized bar. But, they’re also less than half the size and yet cost the fucking same price!!
Seriously, the pubic is really getting into this ‘healthier lifestyle’ trend and the big companies just fucking take advantage of it. And the sad part is, as consumers we’re eating this marketing ploy right up. Gobble fucking gobble!!

Good heads up on this. How these companies market the item is more important than what goes into the product. Sound familiar. Yep, the MUSIC industry does the same thing. Sad we have to spend three quarters of our time at the grocery store reading packaging so we don’t get duped. You are like a Furious Ralph Nader - funny stuff.
