Insane Snack Alert! Insane Snack Alert!

Listen up, snack-chewers! We've got a crazy-amazing product find for you... About a week and a half ago, we started hearing from subscribers about 100-calorie Newtons Fruit Crisps. People were RAVING about them, so we ran out and scoured supermarket shelves for these things. OMG, they are INSANE! We are singling them out and giving them their own story because, quite frankly, they deserve it. We say these Fruit Crisps are the most unique 100-calorie item we've seen in 2008 (okay, possibly EVER). And we LOVE them (almost too much!). Now for our description... Each pack contains TWO large, flakey, crispy, fruit-filled rectangles of deliciousness that taste like the love child of a McDonald's baked pie and a Pop-Tart. Y-U-M! Both flavors -- Mixed Berry and Apple Cinnamon -- ROCK! Each 100-cal twin pack has just 2g fat and a POINTS® value of 2*. Run (don't walk, jog or skip) to your local market and buy them. And if you can't find these things, DEMAND them. Trust us on this one, PLEEEEEEEEEASE!

The Buzz...

Guess that "Blossom" isn't so "Awesome" after all! After years of serving the over-caloried freakish onion monstrosity, Chili's recently decided to yank its Awesome Blossom off the menu. Good thing we featured our own HG-ized version of it last week. Woohoo! ***Hey, remember Jared from Subway? It's been 10 years since he dropped all that weight (245 lbs.!) by eating sandwiches from the popular chain... and he's kept it off! He's retiring his "fat pants" at the end of the year, but he's currently on a nationwide "Tour de Pants" to raise awareness about his philanthropic programs -- click here to see how you can help and how you can win a chance to be in a commercial with Jared! BTW, we were lucky enough to chat with him recently. Click here for our exclusive ATE Questions with Jared interview! ***Hey, beer-drinkers. You'll be happy to know that the limited availability MGD 64 (extra light beer from Miller with 64 calories per 12-oz. bottle) did so well in test markets, it's going national THIS FALL. Yay! ***A recent study suggests that more than half the population eats fast food once a week, and 20% of Americans eat it at least every other day. This is a reminder to keep checking fast food websites for nutritional info so you can make smarter choices (and our survival guides help, too!). That's all we've got. HG out!
