Use celery, cucumber and carrots. I would think that someone who was worried about calorie inyake would not eat melba toast. Use celery, cucumber and carrots.

I do not believe, even for a second that any of them want to help us understand or compair products. In fact nattyfu's granola story points out they want us to eat more of their products. By putting "two" bars in one small package and listing content for "one" bar they are really trying to trick the average consumer.

What they do is take a regular sized granola bar and put it in a regular granola bar package but they cut it in half, so they say that you are in fact getting two granola bars in each package and so the nutrition information they provided was for "one bar" which was actually half of the so obviously single serving package. In conclusion, yeah that stuff totally grinds my gears too. I've also seen nutritional information on a cake that was "per 1/16th of the cake" and it was not a large cake.

Tastes like cardboard on its own, but with a topping tastes just fine! @Steph: You’re right, maybe using Melba Toast wasn’t the best example for me to use here, but in general, I find food manufacturers make it difficult on purpose to compare food just to keep consumers in the dark.

Although, considering the 5 toasts has 80 calories, and the 4 toasts have 90, I would say the 5 toasts one is better. Although it does have considerably more sodium, so I suppose it depends what you are looking out for. ;) What a pain!

Look at the amount they weigh in grams. A difference of 2 whole grams! Which you wouldn't even notice anyways. Box 1: 5 toasts = 24g Box 2: 4 toasts = 22g Not a whole lot of gymnastics there.
