  1. Just saw them in the store - Walden Farms Chocolate or Marshmallow dip.
    Supposedly zero-everything. It has cellulose gum, dunno what that is but it
    seemed possibly suspicious to me. I found a website but didn't see
    nutritional info.

    Just wondering if anyone eats this stuff and if it 's any good. I can't eat
    it but maybe some of you far down the maintenance trail would like it.

  2. Chocolate and marshmallow is how you got obese in the first place.

  3. Not really that great, IMO, but better fer ya than regular versions.

    For chocolate "dip," I think one would be better off making some from
    cocoa powder, a bit of water (hot), and liquid sucralose or other
    no-cal sweetener, perhaps with some vanilla extract or other additional
    flavoring.

    Marshmallow is a more difficult taste to emulate, IME

    Cellulose is a kind of fibre, which according to the wikipedia, is not
    digestible by human beings:

    I often associate words that start with "cellu" with plastic. Plastic
    is indigestible, so my first feeling is that the cellulose gum is
    calorie free unless you have certain enzymes in your guts.
