@ohwow: I think that’s a little deceptive. It may not seem like much, but let’s just say that someone really likes these cheesecake bites and eats one container every month. If it’s two rounded up calories per bite then, 80 calories per container per month. Multiply that by 12 and it’s 960 calories per year. I think that’s a lot.

@Lane O: Do you sell them in stores? ;-)

I don’t think the nutritional info is messed up. 440 / 24 = 18.3 per piece…so they just rounded that up to 20 per piece. Nutritional labels usually use numbers that end in 0 or 5 for the calorie section.

@slurm: I agree about the serving size being 20 pieces. It makes a lot more sense. @Long: Ugh...why didn't I have a coupon? I needz coupon cutting skillz. @Alisha: It might've been better, but I am proof that some Asian do suck at math. 6 x 9 = I dunno. @amanda: Cookies and cream does sound tantalizing. I might be able to eat that whole container in one sitting, but not the original flavor. @Neil the hammer: Don't forget to use coupons. It seems like everyone else who bought these did.

I’ll bet that Ms. Lee’s math would be better, were she Asian.

I got these a long time ago, at half price, and with a coupon, that got me under two dollars. The strawberry cheesecake of course. The original I didn’t like much. They also had them in caramel and cookies’n'cremes.

I believe a lot of the numbers are rounded so people can keep track of their calories, so I wouldn’t be surprised that the numbers are inaccurate. Considering that, each piece would be 18 and a third calories.

You’d think it would make more sense to make the serving size 20 pieces, since there are 40 in the package!

@Erin Brooks: I'm sure they're allowed to do it. I'm sure there's some FDA rule that says they can. Just like companies can say 10% calcium means they can say on the packaging "Good Source of Calcium" @Yum Yucky: I shall tempt you 1001 times. Oh, these cheesecake bites are soooo good, but not really. I know you want some. Yummy! amanda: But sometimes we have to settle for stuff that's not the best because of money or because we're drunk. @Bear Silber: I don't mind it. It just means less work for me to do. No more cutting or using a knife, which in my hands is dangerous. @Ryan: I think you'd be fine because you run a fast food blog, but hardly eat fast food. I don't know how you're able to do that. :) @nuttyturnip: I must have good will power because I've been nursing the same container for the past week. I'm down to the last three bites. @lex: There's a strawberry flavored one, but I don't think it's a topping. @brad: They should've made it have a crust coating. Mmm...crust. @wouldibuyitagain: I bought it at a convenience store, so that price is slightly higher than grocery stores. I just saw it at Safeway for $4.99. @angry bob: Was she related to Chun Li? @Chuck: I definitely would prefer ice cream bites and cheesecake bites over vampire bites. @grinder: Yes, you're right. I guess it's like pizza, sex and Japanese game shows.
