    I need to know who just eats half of the brick of ramen?? If I'm going to embalm myself with salt and carbs, I'm going big. I"m eating the WHOLE brick.

    My Mom does..I told her that was the weirdest thing I ever heard!

    Hmmmm, oddly enough, I love marshmallow fluff, but have yet to have the world renound macaroon. I'd have to try it and see if it's worth all the fattyness. Lol.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macaron

    well I suggest you don't try making them at home first that is for sure, unless you need a war zone in your kitchen

    Marshmallows. "Marshmallow is a confection that, in its modern form, typically consists of sugar, corn syrup, water, gelatin that has been softened in hot water, dextrose, vanilla flavorings, and sometimes coloring, whipped to a spongy consistency" - uhmmm spongy?! Well considering I used to eat paper tissues as a kid (don't ask) they may not be that bad after all...

    A Tombstone pizza serving size is 1/5 of a pizza. How do you cut a circle into 5 equal pieces???

    You know that a circle spans 360 degrees. Divide this by 5 and you have 72 degrees.

    1) Use the protractor (a semi-circle) to create a full circle.

    2) Make a mark on the circle at 0 degrees. Make 4 more marks at 72, 144, 216, and 288 degrees.

    3) From the center of the circle, draw a line segment out towards each of those marks.

    You now how 5 equal parts of a circle.
    Ha! I was going to suggest cutting it into 10 pieces and eating 2 of them. Problem solved. But your answwer is SO much better!:smokin:

    Roasted seaweed package from costco is 5 servings per package(which is really stupid because nobody is going to count the amount of seaweed for each serving but luckily it's only 100 calories for the whole package and no sugar so I just eat the whole 5 servings.

    Hmmm....do you think if we write to Tombstone, they might start including a protractor in each of their pizzas? :wink:

    I'm having fun reading a lot of these - they are making me laugh! I used to relate to a lot of them..and then I got this magical thing....

    If you're frustrated from trying to figure out how much is one serving or using 3 different measuring spoons for ridiculous things, I highly suggest you invest in a food scale!!! I use mine every day and has made tracking so much easier, and so much more accurate! Never thought I'd use grams in my life, and here I am, becoming familiar with them :D

    I have a bag of croutons in the cabinet... serving size 2 tablespoons. How are you supposed to measure that when most of the croutons won't even fit properly in an actual tablespoon? Why not just say "serving size about 2 croutons"? On top of that -- while it's obviously healthier to go with none anyway -- what kind of salad that includes croutons only uses two of them?

    Totally this! HA HA HA

    THIS,
    a million times.
    Although--
    I -did- actually see some PopTarts in a single-serve package, just one inside.
    I was overjoyed.

    Looking at a box of cookies last night, one servicing size was 7 1/2 cookies...little, itty, bitty cookies (think animal cracker size). Who would just eat 1/2 a cookie.

    Cereal is the one I can't do. I was one of those growing up that would use an old butter tub for a cereal bowl. 1 little cup as a serving size...can't do it.

    YUP Cereal is a *kitten*! One cup! ONE! One freakin cup is supposed to do the trick?! NO! I REFUSE! Must..have..two..or..more..

    because it's PART of a well balanced breakfast, not the whole breakfast. have it with egg or something on the side and you will be content (or maybe not, a serving size is just one egg lol)

    My life is over..... what in the world am I going to do with THAT?! shove that pink quarter back where you found it, please and thank you.

    Macaroons are famous because they are very hard to make ("high kitchen" sweets) and in this country you have entire shops built around them - same in Western-Northern Europe.

    My personal opinion it is an overhyped pastry sold at literally the price of gold... and it tastes like egg whites and SUGAR. But many people seem to love it.
    They are very fattening of course.

    BAMF! How to make them for seemingly cheap.

    Also, this thread is cracking me up because I'm thought ALL of this!!!! Like the poptart. Kudos to the man who said that first because it's HILARIOUS and true.

    My all time favorite cereal... Grape Nuts... Serving size HALF a cup... do you know how pathetic HALF a cup of grape nuts looks in the bottom of a bowl? Like it doesn't really even cover the bottom of the freaking bowl!

    I purchased a bag of bagels once and the serving size was 1/3 of a bagel.. HOW THE HELL does that work?

    Instant oatmeal packs.. At least they put one serving in each envelope.. but seriously, so ridiculously tiny.

    There are some large shortbread cookies where I work. 480 calories for HALF the cookie. Why make a whole cookie and only make a serving half of it. and why make ANY cookie with 960 calories in the first place?????
