#1035: Cadbury Eggs explain
[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*
