If you have not sampled the chocolatey delightfulness of Special K Chocolatey Delight, you need to grab your purse & keys and go directly to the local supermarket in order to make the urgent purchase of this delicacy.

I am serious. Do it now. You're still here reading, aren't you? You didn't go to the store yet? OK, fine, then, finish reading this post, then you can go. It is basically Frosted Flakes with Chocolate Chunks in it. Chocolate Chunks, people, chocolate chunks!!!

Here's the thing: it is marketed as a "healthy" food alternative to late night snacking. But, what they don't take into account is the fact that some people (deleting names to protect anonymity) may eat an entire box in one sitting. At the very least, the previously mentioned anonymous eater may rifle through the box eating out all the chocolate chunks...the same way anonymous eater used to eat all the marshmallows out of Lucky Charms as a child. But I digress...

Speaking of marshmallows and chocolate, BMI is so out now and PBII (Personal Body Image Index) is so in.

The general idea is as follows:
• Start with your weight.

• Subtract seven pounds if you have just worked out.

• Add five if you've single-handedly finished a plate of guacamole and chips; four for macaroni and cheese; six for death-by-chocolate cake.

• Subtract 10 pounds if people nearby are fatter than you.

• If you're wearing black pants, subtract two; if in a bathing suit, add eight.

• If you are more than seven years older than the group average or are surrounded by bikini-clad undergraduates with toned stomachs and cellulite-free thighs, add 20.
