Chocolate Carnation Instant Breakfast?

(If I'm right, I pass to birdlady)

Actually, if you're right, you can take it.  I've posted enough in here
already.  =)

Okay...that should have read, "If *I'm* right, you can take it".  =)

Not Chocolate Slim Fast, not Chocolate Carnation Instant Breakfast.
(But the mystery substance *is* chocolate flavored, and also comes
in a non-chocolate version.)

Nestle Quik?  (The lowfat version if there is one)

The i's have it!  (chocolate-flavored Ovaltine it is.)

i, is there any item made of chocolate with which you are not familiar?

response 224 of 610: Mark Unseen   Jun 3 23:22 UTC 1998

Re: #223 - There probably is, but i can't think of any right now.

This should be easy for anyone who bakes:
8 oz./serving, 8 servings/container
110 calories, 20 from fat
2.5g (4%) / 1.5g (8%) / 10mg (4%)   fat / sat. fat / cholest.
400mg (17%) sodium
13g (4%) carbo's
0g (0%) / 9g / 8g   fiber / sugar / protein
2% / 4% / 30% / 0%   Vit. A / Vit. C / Calcium / Iron

Hm, no fiber, no vitamins, not a baked apple.  Has some milk product in it
for the calcium, salt added.  Custard?
i
response 226 of 610: Mark Unseen   Jun 4 21:41 UTC 1998

Not custard, but it is a dairy product.

Duh, butter?
birdlady
response 228 of 610: Mark Unseen   Jun 5 04:22 UTC 1998

<laugh> Cute, Scott.  =)

I want to know where you can find butter that low in fat, though, unless it's
a low-fat variety like ICBINB.
i
response 229 of 610: Mark Unseen   Jun 5 22:38 UTC 1998

2.5g of fat in an 8 oz. serving would be a *mighty* poor brand of butter.
The fat in this food is of dairy origin, though, and butter is, in another
sense, not too far off the mark.   <-- big, fat hint

Not buttermilk again?
i
response 231 of 610: Mark Unseen   Jun 6 16:01 UTC 1998

Oh, no, never!  This is lowfat buttermilk.

How do we get more people to play this game?

response 232 of 610: Mark Unseen   Jun 7 17:50 UTC 1998

Could we appoint someone chosen at random from another item?

Three ingredients to this one, one oddly spelled, one unbelievable, which you
can guess after guessing the main ingredient:
serving size 1 pack (200 g)
protein 3 g
fat 62 mg
No calories from fat, no cholesterol
sugars 79 g
carbohydrate 117 g
saturated fat 27 mg
fiber 8 g
calories 450
VA 0mg
Vc 2 mg
Na 112 mg
Ca 28 mg
Fe 1 mg

net weight 200g


I expect that the figure for VA is way too low, so perhaps the other numbers
are also not too trustable.

I seem to remember having seen nutrition info on gum - or at least info on
the number of calories and such. 
keesan
response 236 of 610: Mark Unseen   Jun 16 15:35 UTC 1998

VA - vitamin A (but the 0 figure is definitely wrong)
Vc - vitamin C
62 mg fat = .062 g fat.  200 g total weight.  As someone pointed out a while
back when I brought up 62 mg fat - 0 fat calories.
In this household, if you open a package of anything it becomes a serving (i.
e., it is gone within a few hours if not sooner).
Think no cholesterol (not animal), some vitamins, some fiber, little fat or
protein, one major ingredient, and two (or it could be three) additives which
contribute mainly only calories.
        Think - whoever typed this up was not a native speaker of English. 
It is not something that you would find, in this form, in a supermarket, but
the ingredients in it are common (except possibly for one that is probably
an odd misspelling).

Kroger is where i get my lowfat buttermilk.  I bought a half gallon, and
will have to get busy baking chocolate cakes to use it up.  Summer-resistant
frosting may be an interesting experiment - any ideas?
