Low-calorie energy bars

Look at this site:

Whatever next? Low-sodium salt bars? Low-fat lard bars?

Where on earth did people get the idea that calories = bad, but energy = good?

Sorry, rant over.

I think it’s low in calories, but high in joules.

Oh, Gym.

I’ve seen a product labelled organic salt. And there’s the game Final Fantasy 6.

But I suspect they just mean it’s got guarana - hippie caffeine - in it. And apple cores.

You can’t have something which is low in calories but high in joules.
A joule has a linear proportional relationship to a calorie.
1 calorie = x joule
Can’t remember the factor now. I am sure someone knows it.
Anyway, marketeer speak, gotta love it!

Along with r_k’s low-sodium salt bars and low-fat lard bars, we also have in our silly shop:
Dry water
Bread-free bread
Bananaless banoffee
and
Meringue-free pavlova

Step right up folks!

My dear curly. Please credit me with a bit more intelligence than that… Engage irony filter. :wink:

Sorry. Sorry. And yea, thrice sorry.
(Good grief, you’d swear I’d never met you)

:smack:

Still, I suppose I should wait till after the Eurovision song contest to get my irony filter fixed.

I’m stilly trying to figure out those Baked Lays, myself. “Naturally baked.” How does that happen in nature, exactly? A bunch of potatoes growing near a volcanic thermal vent get mashed in an earthquake, splattered onto a hot rock, then turn into tasty potato-product chips? :dubious:

It’s like how they make Powerade Lite now, or Diet Powerade or whatever it’s called. Doesn’t make sense to me, but maybe if you’re diabetic or something…
