Fruity yogurt?


#2 of 481 by remmers on Fri Oct 21 02:50:25 1994:

Excellent.  Dannon cherry lowfat yogurt, to be exact.  Mary get to
give the next Mysterious Nutrition Facts Label.


#3 of 481 by kami on Fri Oct 21 21:12:56 1994:

that's cheating! Mary OUGHT to know what's in your fridge or lunch bag!


#4 of 481 by carl on Sat Oct 22 21:57:08 1994:

Darn!  And I was going to guess a nutrition label.


#5 of 481 by alfee on Sun Oct 23 00:29:20 1994:

Ok, no fair cheating.....let's have another one.


#6 of 481 by robh on Wed Oct 26 11:55:06 1994:

The sad thing is, after reading the label, "yogurt" would
have been my first guess.  Half a pound serving, 35% of
the RDA for calcium, and only 240 calories?  Had to be.


#7 of 481 by chelsea on Wed Oct 26 13:02:16 1994:

Well, John probably bought this out of a vending machine at school and he
doesn't tend to eat fruity yogurt instead prefering (boring) plain non-fat
Dannon.  Which is why I didn't consider it a total cheat on my part to
hazzard a guess. ;-)

Okay, my label is one that I'd suspect would be found in at least 50%
of all homes.

#8 of 481 by robh on Wed Oct 26 16:59:44 1994:

With the high potassium and carbohydrates, my first guess would
be a banana, but that doesn't really come in 11 quarter-cup
servings, does it?  >8)


#9 of 481 by bjt on Wed Oct 26 17:51:16 1994:

Applesauce?


#10 of 481 by brighn on Wed Oct 26 21:57:52 1994:

High fiber, low sugar and nutrients... a Brillo pad?


#11 of 481 by rcurl on Wed Oct 26 22:43:26 1994:

*Low* sugar? Its 3/4 sugars. Sounds like some candy bar, except it
is apparently "bulk". 


#12 of 481 by alfee on Thu Oct 27 00:54:08 1994:

I'm going to guess raisins.  It matches MY Sun-Maids nutrient for nutrient.
Am I right?  


#13 of 481 by brighn on Thu Oct 27 01:02:27 1994:

OH, sorry, the percentages weren't lined up right, and that's what 
I was going on.
Not that I would have been able to guess right, anyways.


#14 of 481 by rcurl on Thu Oct 27 06:42:00 1994:

I think alfee is right. Now, why didn't I think of that? I know that
raisins are promoted as an iron source: should have twigged it. But,
brown or white raisins???


#15 of 481 by chelsea on Thu Oct 27 11:40:59 1994:

The percentages show here are just as they appear on my box of
Sun-Maid (brown) raisins.  Congratulations alfee!  You're up.


#16 of 481 by alfee on Thu Oct 27 22:21:46 1994:

OK!  Now you all get to do some kitchen sleuthing--
Here we go.  This item is a product found in many homes.  It is used as a 
substitute for a similar prodcut which is both more common and more fatty.

#17 of 481 by chelsea on Thu Oct 27 22:51:42 1994:

Non-fat sour cream?


#18 of 481 by carl on Fri Oct 28 00:37:28 1994:

Imitation bullion?


#19 of 481 by alfee on Fri Oct 28 02:24:46 1994:

No and no.  Mary is closer than Carl, however; keep trying!


#20 of 481 by rcurl on Fri Oct 28 03:17:38 1994:

A Fat Free salad dressing with vitamin E as a purported anti-oxidant.


#21 of 481 by brighn on Fri Oct 28 17:10:55 1994:

Margarine?


#22 of 481 by chelsea on Fri Oct 28 23:13:57 1994:

Me thinks Rane is right.


#23 of 481 by alfee on Sat Oct 29 01:40:48 1994:

I'll give it to you, Rane; I use it as sandwich spread, but many would
consider it salad dressing.  It's Kraft Fat-Free Mayonnaise. 
Your go!

#25 of 481 by carl on Sat Oct 29 13:19:14 1994:

Powdered cider?  (like what Tang is to orange juice)



#26 of 481 by alfee on Sat Oct 29 16:36:43 1994:

How 'bout peanut butter?


#27 of 481 by rcurl on Sun Oct 30 05:48:34 1994:

Neither powdered cider, nor peanut butter. As to which is "closer" -
hard to say: they both differ in significant (but different) ways.


#28 of 481 by chelsea on Sun Oct 30 18:59:22 1994:

Marshmallow creme.


#29 of 481 by alfee on Sun Oct 30 22:45:45 1994:

Apple butter.


#30 of 481 by popcorn on Mon Oct 31 03:45:56 1994:

This is now linked from enigma item 222 to kitchen item 89.
Man, it had been a while since I'd been in the enigma conference
and I had to laugh out loud when I saw the login message for the
conference, and again when I saw response #0 for this item.
You enigmites are one wacky bunch!


#31 of 481 by popcorn on Mon Oct 31 04:12:39 1994:

Just-add-hot-water oatmeal?


#32 of 481 by rcurl on Mon Oct 31 05:31:19 1994:

Not marshmallow creme or apple butter, and there are no "just-add-hot-
water", or anything else for that matter, in the instructions on the
container.


#33 of 481 by carl on Mon Oct 31 12:47:50 1994:

Some kind of jelly or preserve?



#34 of 481 by bt on Mon Oct 31 14:45:39 1994:

that spreadable Cream Cheese (with Salmon) . ..[is that stuff even 
available anymore, I used to get it all the time in Seattle, but 
haven't seen it since I arrived in da "Deep South"].  Ignore my ramblings.
I will go away.



#35 of 481 by rcurl on Mon Oct 31 15:58:27 1994:

Don't go away - at least, no mad. Not a jelly or preserve, nor Cream
>Cheese. To help a little: of all the guesses so far, one each by carl and
popcorn have a common property shared by this item. 



#36 of 481 by brighn on Mon Oct 31 21:06:27 1994:

Guessing traits:  powdered additives of some sort.  But similar, on any level,
to peanut butter?  I'm stumped.  
Unless it's ground nuts of some sort -- maybe crushed walnuts?


#37 of 481 by popcorn on Mon Oct 31 23:57:14 1994:

It's not tea, right?


#38 of 481 by jdg00 on Tue Nov 1 03:35:54 1994:

I have no idea what this is.  But rather than be stumped, I've decided to
be entertaining, instead.   I found a label which may amuse you.

A glass of water? I was going to enter one next time with all zeros,
but you beat me to it. 
  
Now, back to the case at hand: not ground nuts, but very similar. 
"Refrigerate after opening" it says, too. So..one more try, everyone,
and then I'll tell  ;-).
