Why would a company make - and apparently be proud to sell - the 1/4 pound cookie??? I saw these at a convenience store a couple days ago and was blown away. I can't even start to imagine how bad eating 1/4 pound of pure cookie at once must be! Wow.
Okay - so yesterday's grand discovery --- (drum roll) --- cocoa has fiber in it! Yes, hot chocolate can actually help you stay regular. In fact, depending on the brand and variety you choose, you could get 2g from a single cup - drink 4 cups and that's the same amount of fiber as a bowl of Raisin Bran. If memory serves me right, 2g is also about the same as what's in Metamucil's fiber wafers, which I am guessing don't taste nearly as good or leave you with that warm & cozy feeling. Of course, we won't talk about sugar here - just look on the bright side.
I can't help but wonder where certain traditions/rituals come from. Today is the perfect example. How did "they" choose to have elections on the first Tuesday after the First Monday of November. I mean, wouldn't the first Tuesday of November (or any other month for that matter) be just as effective....
