- briandear 8y agoTwizzlers are a low fat snack. That is 100% true.
- arbitrary_name 8y agoIt's also 100% misleading. I know people on HN love to be technically correct, but come on buddy...
- newnewpdro 8y agoIn my teens (90s) I knew an overweight girl who would eat hersheys chocolate syrup straight from the bottle as a "dieting" snack. Her understanding was that it was fat-free, hence non-fattening. It's sad how much this misunderstanding of fat being fattening has permeated the US population to this day. All the false/misleading information in product advertising has definitely played a significant role, it should be made illegal and enforced with stiff fines.
