(this is a continuation of a game that first began over 8 years ago in the
Enigma conference. it was linked from there to Kitchen, and eventually to
the Games conference. the idea is to guess the identity of a fairly
common food item based on its nutritional information, with the winner
entering the next label. since its inception, the game [also known as the
"Mysterious Nutrition Facts Label"] has enjoyed varying levels of
popularity. it has not been played on Grex in nearly three years, and
previously had never been played in Agora.)
(earlier versions of the game can be found in the Kitchen and Enigma
conferences.)

(not jp2, although in theory this product could be used as a substitute.
not dried bananas; I think the product is too fatty to be that.)

Bananas don't have much protein either. I was just looking at the potassium
content and noting the low sodium content, meaning it is probably not highly
processed (they did not add salt to what is probably a fruit or vegetable).

I was going to say cheese crackers, but the iron content is pretty high.

Cheese crackers are REALLY salty. And low in fiber. Peanuts?

(oh. I'm going to have to check with the judges on this one... no, not

(soybeans are an ingredient, but it's not soybeans. do people actually
eat "raw" soybeans?)

Raw soybeans are kind of tasty. I was out in a soybean field last fall
with farmers and they nibbled on them, so so did I.

Soy milk has no fiber, it is the water-soluble parts plus the oils.
