Halloween Week: Nutritional Information

I could be due to check myself into the Department of Redundancies Department for say this for what may only be the second or third time, but a lot of these stories (mine at least) are a few years old. 2004-era, which isn't really Roman times. But the idea behind this particular type of Halloween candy was purely speculative when I wrote it, and it's fact now.



Well, it's "fact" in that a clearly bogus study for Enviga iced tea says if you drink three a day it'll cut 100 calories. A study of 30 people -- not 3,000, not 30,000, but 30 -- that did not study any other behavior like activity or sedentary behavior. If that's how little it takes to build a scientific ad campaign around, I may have a lemonade powder that'll make you almost seven feet tall yet, miraculously, totally unable to play basketball. My test subjects will be the New York Knicks.



Oh yeah, the story. It's called the stunningly beige-y Nutritional Information.
