Back then, I had to find ways to entertain myself because I eventually got tired of my toys.  Lego got boring after I made a F-15 fighter out of it.  Playing with my Star Wars figures became old after it turned out Luke and Leia were siblings, which totally ruined the love triangle I created with them and Darth Vader.  G.I. Joe got lame when Cobra Commander changed to that lame cloth hood, which replaced his helmet with the shiny face shield.  Finally, I put down my Barbie dolls after I found out they were not anatomically correct and because boys were not supposed to play with them.  <\/p>\n<p>After losing interest in most of my toys, I turned my attention towards spraying.  I don&#8217;t know what it was about spraying that interested me.  Perhaps it was the continuous hissing sound or the fine liquid mist, but whatever it was, I was hooked.  It started harmlessly with a little Spray and Wash to get rid of the &#8220;ring around the collar,&#8221; a little Pam non-stick spray, and Raid bug killer, but then I moved on to spray paints and hair spray.  I eventually became a graffiti artist\/pyromaniac, but it turned out that I had no artistic skill, so I just became a pyromaniac with a pack of matches and a salon-sized can of Aqua Net hair spray.  It was exciting burning bugs and melting my G.I. Joe figures, but something called the &#8220;ozone layer&#8221; eventually ruined my fun.<\/p>\n<p><small>(Editor&#8217;s note: The Impulsive Buy does not condone the use of hairspray and matches to create an awesome blowtorch.  It is a stupid, stupid, stupid thing to do.  Doing so may cause harm not only to yourself but to others as well.)<\/small><\/p>\n<p>So that&#8217;s why I weep as I spray the Ken&#8217;s Steak House Lite Accents Honey Mustard Vinaigrette on my salad with its lame pump spray, instead of a CFC-spewing, rock-and-roll aerosol spray that would blow the leafy greens away.  WOOOO!!!  Actually, the spray from the Lite Accents bottle was more like a stream, which made it hard to evenly coat a salad.  According to the front of the bottle, each spray is one calorie, but according to the nutrition facts, 10 sprays equals 15 calories, so it&#8217;s actually 1.5 calories per spray, which means my mathematic abilities are still at a sixth grade level.  The bottle also states that it can dress more than 25 salads, which is approximately the number of salads I&#8217;ve had in the past five years.<\/p>\n<p>The dressing was watery, since physics probably makes it hard for something creamy to come out of a tiny spray nozzle.  It had a slightly sweet, tangy flavor to it that I didn&#8217;t enjoy when I sprayed it directly into my mouth, but enjoyed when I sprayed it on a salad.  It maybe a low-calorie, low-fat salad dressing, but it doesn&#8217;t taste as &#8220;healthy&#8221; as pourable low-calorie, low-fat salad dressings.  The bottle also recommends using it on steak, chicken, or fish, which is good because I really don&#8217;t know when I&#8217;m going to eat my next salad.<\/p>\n<p><small>(Nutrition Facts &#8211; 10 sprays &#8211; 15 calories, 0.5 grams of fat, 0 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 0 milligrams of cholesterol, 95 milligrams of sodium, 2 grams of carbohydrates, 0 grams of fiber, 2 grams of sugar, 0 grams of protein, and 1 pointer finger workout.)<\/small><\/p>\n<p><small>(Editor&#8217;s Note:  Thanks to long time TIB reader Brie for kind of recommending this product.
