I was travelling by train from London to Birmingham today, and bought a pack of 4 mini pork pies, intending to eat 2 for lunch on the train and keep 2 for another day. After eating 1, I looked at the nutrition info on the box and was horrified to see that each pie had 136g of carbs. I immediately started to replan my food for the rest of the day to try to minimise the damage.
It was an hour or so before I realised that each pie weighed only 50g so couldn't possibly have that many carbs - I had ignored the decimal point on the nutrition data and the correct amount was 13.6g! But I still only ate one
