No cholesterol, so it's a plant product.

Not Rice Krispy Treats, or any other form of cereal. But the food
*is* solid in form, not liquid or powder.

Do those vitamins occur in the regular ingredients, or are they added to make
it look good? :-)
(vitamins AND minerals, that is)

Sorry, not Pop Tarts. This thing is ready to eat and not anything that
one has to prepare by heating, toasting, etc.
This is a somewhat obscure puzzler, I think, so I'll count as correct
the first person to come up with the right general category and won't
expect to see a brand name.

is #267 being ignored, or overlooked?

I wasn't sure how to respond to #267, so I put off doing so,
and then forgot about it. I'm not sure how one defines "regular
ingredients" in the context of this product, which is a mixture
of a bunch of things intended to achieve a nutritional ideal.
I guess #270 is close enough. Specifically, it's a Zone Bar.
They're marketed by Barry Sears' EisoTech company. Sears is
the author of the popular "Zone diet" books, and the bars
contain the 40/30/30 calorie percentage of carbohydrate,
protein, and fat that Sears claims is best for most people.
The i's have it.

Re #272: I think that the correct answer would have been that they were in
the ingredients. Either that, or "no." :-)
Re #273: Well, we have cholesterol, so it's from an animal, we have fat,
protein, and calcium, but no starch or sugar (or fiber). Except for the lack
of sugars, I'd be inclined to guess milk. In fact, I'll go out on a limb,
and guess, MILK!

Lactose in milk is a carbohydrate and a sugar.

1/4 cup equals 2 oz, not a bad serving size for cheese.

Well, I said that I didn't think so, but I figured that I didn't lose
anything by guessing.
Is it human-food?

The ratio of protein to fat, and the total absence of carbohydrate,
suggests some kind of meat, or maybe egg, product, one that's not
excessively high in fat. But Valerie's right, meat isn't usually
measured in cups or fractions thereof. So I dunno...

Total Fat 5g 8%
Saturated Fat 1g 6%
Cholesterol 40mg 13%
- is how it's laid out on the actual label. (Anyone else find my
squeeze-it-in style too cryptic?)
Nope, not cocoa mix. 1 T of plain cocoa contains 3g carbohydrates - 2 of
'em fiber. None o' neither in this stuff.
Keep guessing! <chortle>
