- Ha! You'll forgive me if this is only marginally related... please?
- Anyway, I took a nutrition class in which the teacher tried various
- interesting methods of making us take her info seriously. So, in
- order to make us truly understand the amount of fat fast food generally
- contains, she did this: For every burger, sandwich, etc., she wanted to
- talk about, she filled test tubes with an amount of crisco equal to
- the amount of fat you would be consuming were you to eat said item. These
- test tubes were about an inch in diameter and about five inches long.
- She talked about the whopper, for example, and then held up a test tube
- filled about half way. The students were a little queasy after a few
- of these revelations, but that did not compare at all to the disgust
- generated when she talked about Wendy's tripple with cheese. With a
- look of giddy amazement, she held up TWO COMPETELY FILLED TUBES! The
- groans were in themselves sickening.
