17 out of 24....I had 24 questions  LOL you had 25???

20 of 24; in my defense, some of these foods don`t exist in my country and I have no idea whatsoever what size they are (e.g. chocolate kisses).

It`s a fun quiz, but not that well thought out IMHO. Some quantities vary only ever so slightly (though I guess that`s the way it is in real life too xD), plus the answers that are phrased using the word 'about' - well, pretty obviously the correct choice.

lol.. devlish maybe that is why I missed a few.. guess I can't count. The only complaint I had about the test is that for most of the choices the choice on the right was the larger portion. On a couple that I missed they switched them around. I thought I was picking the smaller amount.

16 out of 24 but I think that was mostly because half of the things on that list aren't very commonplace in the UK and some don't even exist at all!  Jerky?  I think I tried that once in my life - I thought the person gave it to me because they had something against me.  It was like eating a shoe.

23/24  The edamame got me lol great lil test!

Jerky!!! like shoe??? I want you to send me truck loads of shoes!!! lol It is one of the things I miss about America. It is better in South Africa. Biltong. They mastered the art for the Great Trek. I forget the story but I think it was when a bunch of Dutch people walked most of Africa to arrive in south Africa. It was created in the states when there was a great migration to the west coast and they had to dry meat to take with them. I was back in the states last year as Costco and was shocked by the price. But it was soooo worth it. And ILY51 they have stores in the US that only sell Hershey kisses... brought back a bag for the people in my office and think the bag is still in someones desk, not a big seller here in Italy.

18/24 not too bad, but still need calorie count! 

22 out of 24! wow...i really am a walking calorie dictionary...

me too and I don't have the UK excuse. haha

I got 21 out of 24.  I'm spending way to much time thinking about calories, and not enough time hitting the weights

I got 21 out of 24.

18/24...now i want some peanut m&m's!

21/24 It was those damn peanut m&m's, the pizza (thought it was a trick question like the m&m's) and those baked tortilla chips.

21 of 24, but gag, so much prepared crap! 

bah, I only got 16/24, but oh well, still not bad

22/24, but the 2 I got wrong were both about meat stuff, which I don't eat.

22/24, I'm a "Master Snacker"!

21/24.

The edamame got me - as did the Cool Whip (since I think it's disgusting so I've never bothered to find out how many cals in it) and the shrimp (I was thinking the big ones you get at restaurants).

19/24-- I definitely missed the popcorn one!  I guess you can eat a ton of the stuff as long as it's not sopping with butter :).

Can you imagine walking into Burger King??-- "I'll take 1/10 of a Whopper please."
