The Cookie Calorie Monster
Okay, I finally went to my supermarket to check out the caloric content of the national cookie brands to compare them to the 5o calorie (and rather small) South Beach Diet Oatmeal Chocolate Chip cookies. Sure enough a regular Chips Ahoy cookie has 53 1/3 calories, a s does a regular Oreo, and a Fig Newton has 55 calories. The only conclusion a sane man could come to: Eat two Oreos or Fig Newtons. Of course the problem is they don't make 100 calorie packages of regular Oreos or Fig Newtons. But doesn't this suggest a marketing opportunity for Nabisco?
