This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I'm guessing there's an error somewhere, because this doesn't seem possible.

Oil is literally fat.

The only thing more calorically dense is alcohol.

Edit: my brain mixed the two. Fat is more dense than alcohol.

Four teaspoons isn't very much though. Most oils and fats are about 60 calories per teaspoon, which would only be about 240 to 260 for the amount listed on the jar.

Are you sure its tsp and not Tsp?

Teaspoon is abbreviated to "tsp", tablespoon is "tbsp".

Or

  • tablespoon = T
  • teaspoon = t

I get that. But I think we can all agree that labels can have errors. I think that this is one of those errors.
