Snacks and Desserts: Part 1


Q: If my cookie is broken, will it still have all of it's calories?
A: No! When a cookie or a chip is broken, all of the calories fall out of the item. This is mere gravity. You aren’t going to argue with gravity are you? Don’t make Newton angry…don’t!

We put a man on the moon, we can survive underwater with man-made breathing apparatuses, and there is a computer in almost every pocket. But, despite the amount of packaging used in processed foods, our race still can’t figure out how to protect our snack foods during transport. Companies do their best with their silly little plastic trays and their added air, but the truth is that our cookies are still crumbs and our chips lay like victims of nuclear holocausts at the bottom of the bag. Luckily, due to this relatively new concept called “Gravity” (you may have heard of it), the calories fall right out of your cookie or chip and land at the bottom of the bag.

Pros: As long as it’s not perfectly intact, your after dinner snack is practically health food.

Cons: If you lick the bag, you get all of the calories you would have consumed, plus some extra for being gross.
