Tastes like Victory
It's time for some fun with numbers. Let me set up the
scenario. Yesterday, I ate an entire package of Keebler Fudge Striped
Shortbread Cookies. I decided to try and do what so many Americans are making
their hobby and count the calories of what I just ate. Here are the results.- A single serving consists of three cookies
- A single serving contains 150 calories
- There were thirty-two cookies in the box, or 10.66...
servings - That is roughly 1600 calories
- In a little less than ten minutes, I took in 80% of the
total calories I should eat in a day
Now, armed with that knowledge, I planned to once
again think like the American I am and apply some rational logic and follow those
cookies up with a Big Mac for lunch. Sugar high does not even begin to describe
it.

Wow you have bad taste in cookies and cheeseburger. But ill forgive you becaues after all your just a simple mortal.
Once me and my sister ate one of those huge ice cream tubes, you know the one you get for parties that are like 2 pounds. We ate the entire thing, one of my best acheivements.
._. Eww how did you eat all of those. There are starving ppl in other countries and yet Americans can eat whole boxes of junkfood in a sitting. >_< How sad!
But damn that picture of the elf made me hungry for those Elf cookies with the chocolate in between 2 vanilla elf-shaped cookies. Mmmmmm.
