New math?
OK, people. Four times 3 is twelve? Right? So how can mints that according to the package have 4 calories each have ten calories in a serving of three pieces? I’m just saying. I mean, obviously they rounded up or down at some point, twice, but I would really prefer these numbers add up. I mean, why do they need to make it complicated. Did I mention the other day it took 10 minutes for me to figure out how much popcorn was 100 calories because the serving size listed on the box was in unpopped kernels? Criminy!
That said, here is a yummy treat for those among us who find we still need an occasional chocolate fix. York mints are four calories each or ten calories for three (so by all means eat three because the third one apparently only has two calories). They come in a handy dandy little tin that is a real SOB to open so you won’t indulge too frequently. So, if you enjoy the combination of chocolate and mint and have enough self control to have these around, I find them to be a great treat.
Tomorrow is my big walk day. I am going for four! Usually Tuesday’s I walk 3.25 miles now, but I’m taking the plunge. The killer will be the third time up the hill, but by then it will be too late to turn around. I think I may try to remember to take my camera along one day. This is the trail Monkey enjoys because usually we see deer, rabbits, and a person or two walking a dog. Last time we were on it about a mile in he spontaneously volunteered “I can’t find it a reindeer.” To say I was delighted would be an understatement.
I’m still a tad behind work-wise and have vowed (to myself) to do at least 8 reports tonight so I have a long way to go before bed.
