Dear Hungry Girl,

I use "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter" spray and it supposedly has ZERO calories. Does it really have no calories at all? How can that be?

Dear Spraying,

The "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter" spray has ZERO calories if you use just a few spritzes. However, if you do what most of us do and spray to your heart's content, you can rack up calories and fat grams pretty quickly. Here's the scoop: 12.5 sprays is 10 calories and 1 gram of fat, 25 sprays (1 teaspoon) is 20 calories and 2 grams of fat, and 37.5 sprays is 30 calories and 3 grams of fat. In case you're curious, the entire bottle contains 900 calories and 90 grams of fat! Helpful hint: When it comes to this stuff, stick with spraying as opposed to pouring.

What if the Hokey Pokey is what it is all about?

I was an advertising major at one point and had a class where we learned that "One Calorie Diet Pepsi" (as the advertising went) actually had about 50 calories, but the fine they paid every year was well worth the profits they made because of the lie.

There was this beer which advertised itself as 99% sugar free. Turns out it had more sugar than all the other beers. I like the 50% off sales. No one ever asks "50% off of what". Was it PT Barnum that said "no one ever lost money underestimating the American public"?

Ya know I think you're onto something. If it's true the butter spray has 25 calories a teaspoon that's 75 calories a tablespoon....pretty much the same.

Not only that, butter taste better, is more satisfieng and doesn't "Soak into" foods like the "vegie" butters.

So why do people not use butter...It doesn't come in a can! They did it with cheez wiz we can do it with butter...Butter Wizz! Dude we're rich...

How do we know that Pepsi didnt pay off Snopes to spread the false rumor about this being a false rumor? Wouldnt that be funny to find out...

shit...black helicopters outside again...I am heading to the shelter...

Okay Chip is right,

This stuff should be sold strictly as grilled cheese sandwich butter. thats all its good for...i mean its amazing for it. It gives you just the right amout of oil so the sandwich isnt greasy...orgasmic grilled cheese.

That snopes.com website is a real gem, by the way. Comes in handy when friends and family send me the latest "Bill Gates wants to share his wealth by tracking emails" , um, emails and others that tend to fill my personal inbox.
