So it's Roommate's birthday, and her boyfriend oh-so-sweetly buys her a carrot cake from Whole Foods, and everyone's sitting around and you are offered a slice, and you think, "Hey - it's got carrots, it's organic, one tiny piece of cake can't hurt..." So you take the slice, and it's pretty f-ing good as far as carrot cake goes and you think nothing of it.
And then Other Roommate calls you the next day from work and fills you in that the said measly piece of last night's cake contained...wait for it...wait for it...830 CALORIES, 67 GRAMS OF FAT, AND 92 GRAMS OF CARBOHYDRATES.
And then you realized that the thunder you heard this morning despite sunny skies was not an impending bout of inclement weather, but simply you walking down the stairs.
