I guess it pays to read the fine print - FRITOS "lights" corn chips aren't
really "lite."  A "serving" of "lights" has as many calories, and everything
(except small differences in sodium and potassium) as FRITOS "Regular Size"
corn chips.  The difference is, each "light" chip weighs less than a "Regular
Size" chip.  Hey, now I know why they float out of the bag and pile up on the
ceiling like that!

Any "TRUTH STRETCHERS" you'd like to share?  Reply by mail.  If I get enough
interesting response, I'll post a summary.
