    I'm just going to say it. Either the label is wrong, or you shouldn't be eating it because they have included a lot of unidentified minerals to make up the weight (we know the missing weight isn't coming from water, because you'd be looking at a bag of pudding [U.S. sense -- think custard for consistency], not a bag of chips), and you don't know what unidentified minerals they are. Arsenic? Lead? Heck, at those quantities even relatively innocuous minerals would likely have unpleasant side effects, even if it's not a toxic dose.

    Yeah, I think it's more likely the label is wrong. Log it as some other brand that's in the neighborhood of 140 to 160 kcal per ounce (or 450 kcal for the 87 gram serving indicated on this label, not 80 cals, which is ludicrous).

    Don't trust the label.
