OMG!!! I bought some Edy's SF frozen fruit bars about a week ago. While in the process of purchasing them, I noticed a bonus box right next to this box for the same price so I decided to take those. I've had 2 a day all week. Yesterday we went to the store and my dh asked if I wanted some more so I decided to get some since I only had 2 left. I went to grab the bonus box and discovered "this box wasn't SF". Got home and sure enough, I had a box of regular fruit bars. They have 17g sugar each and I did 2 at a time. It didn't hurt me as far as my weight but if I'd looked at the nutrition statement after I got them home, I would have discovered the mistake before eating the whole box. Taught me that I have to be more careful when purchasing my food.

I know it's my own fault but why does this store stock the bonus box right next to the SF version instead of next to the regular version stocked above them? Frustrating.

Been there. I've done the same thing - bought something that I thought was legal, then read the nutrition label later and discovered it was a big UH OH!

I've had a bag of high carb frozen chicken wings sitting in my freezer for a month now. I figured I make them for DH, but I'm afraid of sneaking a few off of his plate.

Another confusing display: soft drinks. I once drank a whole can of what turned out to be "leaded" pop. Luckily, just one. You really have to look closely at the printing on those cans! They tend to get all mixed together in the display.

Yikes! I did that too with imitation crab. 15 carbs per small serving! (1/2 or 1/4 cup, i can't recall) They're still sitting in my freezer :/

Those sugar free bars sound great, though
