<br>ASK HUNGRY GIRL
<br>
<br>Dear HG,
<br>
<br>What's your take on the new flatbread chopped salads from Quizno's?  I've 
<br>heard conflicting info about them, and the nutritionals are a mystery.  Can 
<br>you help?
<br>
<br>Quizzin' U 'Bout Quizno's  
<br> 
<br> 
<br>Dear Quizzin'
<br>
<br>I actually tried all four of these new salads and didn't immediately fall in 
<br>love.  I did, however, like the hook Quizno's is using; "A real salad needs a 
<br>real fork" (cute!).  And they do give you real forks even when you do 
<br>takeout (they're not pretty ones, so don't get too excited).  But the salads 
<br>themselves are nothing to write home about.  They're more expensive than 
<br>other fast food salads, and I actually don't think they're as good as ones you 
<br>find at Burger King, Wendy's or even McDonald's (that McD's Asian salad = 
<br>YUM!).  The lettuce is fresh, but the chicken isn't that great and in general 
<br>these flatbread chopped salads are dull.  The worst part is, the company 
<br>won't release the nutritional info (I called and emailed several times and was 
<br>told it simply wasn't available).  I have to say, the flatbread they give you 
<br>with these salads tastes AWESOME,  but it seems like it's been brushed with 
<br>oil and/or butter so I'm sure it's pretty high in calories and fat.  The 
<br>dressings also appear to be super-fatty and highly caloric.  So here's my 
<br>advice.  In a pinch, you can order one of these salads.  But I'd avoid the 
<br>dressing at all costs, and go easy on the flatbread.  Either skip it altogether 
<br>or have one piece (not the four they give you).  Also-- I'd stick with the 
<br>Roasted Chicken, the Chicken Caesar or the Classic Cobb.  The Antipasto 
<br>has too many fat-filled meats and cheeses packed in.  If you're at Quizno's, 
<br>you may just be better off with one of their lighter sandwiches, like the small 
<br>Turkey Lite (334 calories), or the small Honey Bourbon Chicken (359 
<br>calories).  Remember, Quizno's does toast their bread, which makes their 
<br>sandwiches super-delicious!

<br>Dear Hungry Girl,
<br>
<br>I love Tootsie Pops and I was wondering what you thought about them as a 
<br>snack.  Are they a bad choice for me?
<br>
<br>Let's Talk Tootsie  
<br> 
<br> 
<br>Dear Let's Talk,
<br>
<br>You'll never hear me badmouth a Tootsie Pop... I LOVE them!  And while I 
<br>know they're not exactly HEALTHY, they last a long time, taste fantastic and 
<br>have only 60 calories and no fat (even with that nugget of chewy chocolate in 
<br>the middle!).  I recently found Tropical Tootsie Pops in bunches at my 
<br>local "dollar" store and FLIPPED over them.  The pineapple flavor is out of 
<br>this world.  According to the president of Tootsie, Ellen Gordon, who was nice 
<br>enough to personally return a phone call I made to the company, these 
<br>tropical flavors are a special limited edition run, so they can disappear at any 
<br>time.  The good news is, Tootsie is constantly conjuring up new flavors and 
<br>Ms. Gordon let me in on a little secret -- that the next taste sensation to be 
<br>released will be a CARAMEL Tootsie Pop (wowowowow!).  For those of you 
<br>that avoid sugar, there are mini sugar free Tootsie Pops that are a bit harder 
<br>to find but growing in popularity so they'll likely become more readily 
<br>available.  BTW, if you like Tootsie stuff as much as I do, you NEED to check 
<br>out their awesome online store and all the cute, calorie-free items you can 
<br>find there.  My favorites are the cuddly candy pillows, adorable t-shirts and 
<br>charm bracelets.  For more of my retro candy faves click here.

<br>CHEW ON THIS:
<br>Since 1970, Tootsie Roll Industries has received more than 20,000 letters 
<br>from children around the world who insist they have solved the mystery 
<br>behind how many licks it takes to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop.
