An advertisement from the 1980s for "Wate-on," a product whose target audience was probably women with small breasts. A quick search yielded the ingredients:

I don't know how to calculate the caloric load, but with 15 grams of fat per 2 tablespoons I suspect it was substantial.

A gram of fat = 9 calories. 1 Tablespoon of this product = 7.5 g fat = 67.5 calories.
ReplyDeleteBut the 2 T (tablespoons) also contain 2g of sugars at 4.1 calories/gram = 8.2 calories.
Therefore, 2 T product = 143.2 calories.

This woman would be considered overweight in today's world.
