Quite a lot of sweet items are very unhealthy… Especially the Polo mints, which are not only bad for you because they are sweet, but they also have tons of sugar, so will rot your teeth! Also, a few years ago, one of the UK’s pub chains added a burger to their menu, [which had 2000 calories in it](http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/food/article-2828587/Hungry-Horse-s-Double-Donut-burger-1-966-calories-53-grams-saturated-fat.html)… ---

Little Debbie makes these things that show up in the vending machine at work sometimes. It’s a triple decker made of three greasy oatmeal cookies and two layers of lard/sugar filling. They are actually pretty tasty, but I’ve only gotten one about three times in the last 5 years. They are about 500 calories and gone in three-four bites. [It’s these](http://www.littledebbie.com/102.49/Oatmeal-Creme-Pies) but the vending machine version is three layers. ---

How about [Deep Fried Butter](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep-fried_butter)? Because what butter - an entire stick of butter - really needs is to be coated in batter, deep fried, and then drizzled with cinnamon frosting. I’ll admit to being curious and repulsed at the same time. ---

> [@Duckster](#): > > Soft drinks. Available everywhere. No brand, make model, style, flavor, regular or unleaded, is immune as unneeded empty calories. As a kid I was raised in a home where soft drinks were a treat, maybe once a month at most, often as a special occasion event. Once I left home, still not so much. A bit of an indulgence a few years back. Now, I’m back to special occasions when I grew up. I can take them or leave them. Leave them mostly. When I was a kid, our soft drink consumption was limited to 7-Up, when we were sick. But on the other hand, we hauled in four shopping bags full of candy every Halloween. And it didn’t even last us very long. > [@kayaker](#): > > Do they weigh you before your meal or when they bring the check? Cause.:dubious: You get weighed at the autopsy. ---

> [@Ale](#): > > The other day I saw sugar flavoured cookies at the 7-11 near my office. > It’s like they are not even trying any more. Are you talking about _sugar cookies_, which are similar to Scottish shortbread with some extra sugar sprinkled on top? I’ve loved these for years, though in moderation. And I normally scrape the extra sugar off before eating them. Still, they do make a great companion to tea! ---
