Commented on Photos of food and their sugar-cube equivalent
@Huntsu - Hah, I didn't even think of the naturally occuring sugar, just the added sugar. I use sugar in tomato sauces myself, and I love how cooking is sometimes almost akin to magic - add a special ingredient, and...
Commented on Photos of food and their sugar-cube equivalent
I'm kind of horrified by the things they label breakfast food. Frosting automatically disqualifies something from being part of my breakfast, at any rate. And they expressed surprise that the spagetti sauce had sugar in it, it's actually pretty common...
Commented on Revealed! Where babies come from!
The pope was right - condoms ARE useless. Rubber gloves, however!...
Commented on Funny flame war video
I'm a little surprised that with all the comments on Billy Joel definitely not being any kind of boss, no one has noticed "hillarious"....
Commented on Odd traveler complaints
No list of this kind is complete without the American couple that, after a two-week long cruise along the coast of Norway, wrote and demanded their money back because the midnight sun was, in fact, NOT a different sun at...
Commented on Hand-painted Mario shoes
That is so neat! But I'm curious as to what happens if you're out and about in these shoes and it starts raining, does the painting actually survive? And since it's looks like a pretty soft fabric, doesn't the paint...
Commented on Sending your video camera around the sushi conveyor
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1278340/ This is a ridiculously wonderful thing from Norway. Also me, I'm Norwegian and awesome. *nods*...
Commented on Scarabs battle for possession of a ball of dung
Well, considering that this dungball is what will nurture their respective children, I don't quite see how this holds up as a metaphor for the troubles in Gaza. Any parent would, I presume, fight furiously if the stake was their...
Commented on Charles Platt on life in prison
random traffic stops in search of drivers who have had two beers and will be hauled straight to jail No. No no no. Do NOT equate driving under the influence with the other examples. If you've had two beers, you...
Commented on Mom accused of stealing daughter's identity to attend highschool and become a cheerleader
Judging by the headline, I was half expecting her to be Joyce McKinney. Perhaps a relative?...
Commented on Los Angeles Metrolink abolishes the Fourth Amendment, begins bogus "random bag searches"
@78 Noen, your name actually means "someone". "Anyone" would be "hvem som helst". I hope you still feel comfortable with your name despite the slight change in meaning. Speakers of Norwegian are scare in the grand scheme of things, so...

@Apoxia, the Safeways and Andronicos spattered around Berkeley both carry Twinkies, I think, but Safeway is the best bet, since I have purchased them there before. Honestly, I'm surprised that pictured coffee has as few sugar cubes in it as it does....

I expected more sugar cubes too....
godwhacker commented on Photos of food and their sugar-cube equivalent
having looked at all the pages, i was left with one conclusion, which of course has been known for years. sugar is a staple of food, and there is no avoiding it, just ways to moderate it by awareness. i quit eating poptarts, and drinking mountain dew years ago, and i don't miss it at all. i do like a cherry cola Sprecher's from time to time. and if i drink any full tilt soda, i go down to the mexican market, because mexican bottlers still use real sugar in the soda, making it taste like what you remember when...
nosehat commented on Photos of food and their sugar-cube equivalent
@ #11 Deckard68: Thanks for your thoughtful post! I'd only add, it seems like different types of food packaging have gotten crystallized at different eras. A lot of the convenience food / junk food items have packaging from the 70s because that's when that market expanded and the products were developed. However, if you walk down the baking aisle of your supermarket, you will feel like it's the 1950s, 40s, or even earlier. Packaging for major brands of flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, etc hasn't changed in a looong time....
Rossy commented on Photos of food and their sugar-cube equivalent
I don't understand why it says "That's more sugar than a whole pint of ice cream!" next to the 21 oz McD's shake. Last time I checked 21 ounces is more than a pint......
