Realistic package labeling

I think it's time for food companies to give consumers more realistic package labelling, don't you?

For example, the package of Crispy Minis (salt'n'vinegar) I purchased for lunch gives the following breakdown:


Now here's an example of what I would like to see on packaging of certain food from now on:

You should make more of those. At the very least, it could make for a decent viral-Internet-memey thing.

Felt like the most productive 10 minutes of my day.
I *should* make more!

You're so right. Who eats just a few? And if you eat a few more than the portion, you have to start calculating how many calories were in the three extra chips you ate!

Exactly!

I say, either eat 14 or eat the whole bag.

Or stop calculating.

Buy a tall can of Arizona Ice Tea. Only 200 calories, or something like that.
Oh, what they don't mention is that it's for 1/4 of the can.
I love those nutritional fact thingies, it's like Fox News for food.

A quarter of the can? Dirty bums!
