Teenee Beanee Island Breeze Jelly Beans

Diet Trash is about the food products you might eat because you think you're doing something better for your diet, but you'll be surprised to know, they're not.

Splashed across the front of the packaging is the fact that Teenee Beanee Jelly Beans is "A Fat Free Candy." My first thought was, "Am I reading this right? Did they really advertise the fact that jelly beans are a "fat free" candy?!" Yes, they and all jelly beans are fat free - but they are 99% sugar, and the other 1% is just flavoring.

This is one type of candy that I don't want my kids to know even exists (if or when I have any). One serving is 36 pieces, 150 calories and 23 grams of sugar - oh, and no fat. I'm not picking on just Teenee Beanee Jelly Beans only, it's all jelly beans - but that just happened to be the brand that I came across.
