My Mom and I usually will split something when we have lunch together.  And even then, it is usually too much!  <br/><br/>The photo that killed me was the popcorn.  The &quot;then&quot; picture said it had 5 cups in it.  That is more than enough for one person!  Then the other one simply said, TUB!  LOL.  I guess we don't want to know how many cups it had.  15 maybe?<br/><br/>I took the quiz.  I did pretty good.  The part that I usually messed up on was how much work you would have to do to burn the calories.  <br/><br/>On a side note...I have lost 3 pounds this week!]]></content></entry><entry><title><![CDATA[beckinacea @ 5/15/2008 1:23:07 PM]]></title><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://www.plime.com/food-and-drink/l/61943/1/atom0_3.rss#q4" /><id>257957</id><summary><![CDATA[One slice of bread = a cassette tape?
