I went to the grocery store hungry yesterday. I know I know. Big mistake. And one that I normally don’t make, but between chasing Emma all morning and trying to get some work done I kind of forgot to eat lunch.

I never go down the “snacks” aisle, because nothing good can come from it, but I needed peanuts for the pad thai I was making for dinner, so I risked it. I grabbed my peanuts and turned to get out of there, when my eye caught the Chex Mix WALL. There were at least five shelves of the stuff and I was helpless. And hungry. I grabbed the Chocolate-Peanut Butter version and ran for my life.

When I got to the car home, I opened the bag and had a little snack. I noticed on the bag that it said “50% less fat!” Well, heck, I had no idea I picked up the HEALTHY Chex Mix. Good for me! See that? Maybe the snack aisle isn’t so bad after all. Then I looked a little closer and noticed that under the “50% less fat!” it said in veeery tiiny letters “than potato chips”.

Huh.

I mean, clearly I didn’t pick up anything that said “chocolate” or “peanut butter” on it thinking I was getting diet food, but what a weird thing to put on the bag.

Next thing you know Breyer’s is going to be putting “75% less fat” “*than a Big Mac” on cartons of mint chocolate chip ice cream.

Yeah, and I would buy that too.
