Serving 1 not 8
Oasis Mediterranean Cuisine out of Toledo, Ohio manufactures a product they call Zero Fat Hommus with Roasted Red Pepper. I don't know why they spell it HO instead of HU and I don't care. The creamy, delicately spiced paste came to my attention about three weeks ago. Given my resolve, I am always on the lookout for a reasonably tasty alternative to my favored potato chips, cookies, cakes and pies. Not usually a fan of hummus, this Hommus is very yummy and quite addictive. 
The label touts 8 servings per 8 oz tub, serving size 2 tablespoons. Who are they kidding? I eat the whole thing--every. single. time. out. Even at zero fat, I still feel the need to do more squats, kicks and elliptical glides. I've eaten tubs, granted only 8 ounces at a time, but many tubs of this stuff in the last three weeks. I want some more. Now.

Those "serving" portions are asinine - always. I share your "resolve" in all things food, but lack your exercise regimen. Be proud.
ReplyDeleteTwo tablespoons? Those serving "sizes" are a bunch of crap. I would say go for the whole thing and be glad it wasn't ranch dressing.
ReplyDeleteOmg Deb, hummus, how could you? How could you do that to me? I hate hummus, but it gets the big thumbs up by my mrs .... who I must add ... I never kiss after she's had a dolop of hummus swirling round her tongue ...yuckkkkkkk!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThe funny thing is ... hummus is made with chick peas, which I frigging love ...but the hummus thing...no!!!!
Pucker up luva ;-)
Kisses XxXxXxXxXxXxX
Im heading over to the slip on the ice post, I'll try not to laugh to hard ... but dont bank on it ;-)
Now see hatter, I'm just the opposite. I don't like chick peas, but I adore hummus.
ReplyDeleteGet while the getting's good, I say. Chow down!
I don't count calories or fat or tablespoons of anything. I am fortunate enough to just eat till I am satisfied. I work out to build muscle cause I don't have much luck enlarging my fat cells, and I need something to hide my bones. That is probably not what you want to read, nor is it what I wanted to write.....
ReplyDeleteI came here to offer an idea of why hummus was misspelled. I heard that some young white male that didn't do very well in school was in charge of the printing that day cause his supervisor was out sick. The supervisor wasn't really sick, but she was out too late the night before chasing chicks so she called in sick the next day. This new kid, who was named Fillipe (pronounced Phillip - his mother had the same condition, but we will leave that for another discussion) wanted to impress the boss (who he thought was really hot) and worked late into the evening printing up tons and tons of labels for this new account. Little Fillipe had no idea he misread the order sheet, and used up all the orange ink, and went home thinking he had done a fine job.
The boss came to work the next morning and saw boxes and boxes of labels all over the shop, and noticed that the work Hummus was spelled Hommus. Since all the orange ink was missing, not only from the shop but the entire city, he had no other choice but to give the client all the labels for free. The client is still using all those free labels, and poor Fillipe has been sent to greener pastures.......
Hope you have a wonderful weekend.
That's the same thing that happens with Chunky Monkey.
ReplyDeleteOh this sounds yummy! But realy, 2Tbs.? Who the heck only eats two tablespoons?!?!
ReplyDeleteI love hummus however you spell it. It amuses me to read serving sizes. Did you know that I found a candy bar that said it served 2.5 people? A candy bar? Either we are gluttons or the serving size people are just trying f*%# with our heads.
ReplyDeleteThe "Pita Inn" has the best hummos by far.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately when I find foods like this that trigger my need for MORE immediately, it is a sure sign that I can not eat any of it. When I do, then I'm off on a binge.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with this.
Portion control is HELL!
