Say what?

Mango lassi sounded like a great proposition so I bought a can of Kesar Mango Pulp the other day.

What do I know about the mango? You get fat when you eat too many. They are high in sugars and they are a great source of Vitamin C. It only followed that the nutrition label beckoned to me and look what I found: no fat, no sugar, no Vitamin C.

But look at the last line. It says Fat 9. But! But! What happened to no fat? ^**

A closer look at the ingredients showed that it has been sweetened with Sugar Syrup. I guess there is no sugar in that either, just like there are no sugars in mango.

Who writes these nutrition labels? Who checks them for accuracy? Is it something that is just slapped on a food product so that it makes it past the FDA?


 

Innovative or Just Plain Dumb?

Murukus! Who doesn't like these? They are a crunchy deep-fried snack that goes so well with tea, coffee and even cocktails. Yum! Yum! Yum! Right?



Soon after I emptied the yummies into an air-tight container, something on the back of the packet caught my eye.


Never mind what it says about the marketing skills of the distributors of this product, what does it say about what they think about their customers: Stinky!

And, I can't eat these anymore. Whenever I see murukus, I am engulfed by the putrid smell of sweat. I also see sweat-laden pads.

TGIF!
