#1035: Cadbury Eggs explain

Cadbury Eggs

[Two Cadbury eggs, one in the foil, the other out of the foil and broken open to reveal the gooey center.]

A Cadbury egg has about 20g of sugar. (25g outside the US.) “One Cadbury Egg” is a nice unit of sugar content.

[A can of soda with an equals sign and two eggs; a bottle of soda with an equals sign and three eggs.]

One 12oz. can of soda has about two Cadbury eggs worth of sugar. One 20oz. bottle has three.

[Two unwrapped Cadbury eggs, with an arrow indicating they should be placed in a glass of water.]

One Cadbury egg is enough to make me feel kinda gross. Now when I see Coke or Snapple or Nestea or whatever, I imagine drinking a couple of dissolved Cadbury eggs.

[Megan puts her hand to her chin in thought, Cueball has his arms out in exclamation.]

Megan: Wow. Huh. So the takeaway is… I can eat Cadbury eggs by the handful all season and feel no worse about it than I do about soda?

Cueball: That’s not really—

Megan: This is awesome!

Cueball: *sigh*
