Worst Frozen Pizza

DiGiorno for One Garlic Bread Crust Supreme Pizza
850 calories
1,450 mg sodium
44 g fat (15 g saturated, 3.5 g trans)

The bloated crust and the greasy toppings will saddle you with 60 percent of your day's sodium, 75 percent of your day's saturated fat, and nearly twice the amount of trans fats you should take in daily.
Calorie Equivalent: 6 slices Domino's Thin N Crispy Cheese Pizza

Worst Cookie

Pillsbury Big Deluxe Classics White Chunk Macadamia Nut (dough; 1 cookie, 38 g)
180 calories
10 g fat
(3 g saturated, 2 g trans)
13 g sugars

Stick to Nestlé Toll House when it comes to big-brand cookie dough; the people of Pillsbury have a penchant for scattering trans fats across your market's refrigerated section. This cookie has one load of dangerous oils mixed into the flour and another blended with sugar and interspersed throughout the dough as "white confectionery chunks."
Fat Equivalent: 5 "fun" size 3 Musketeers bars

Worst Yogurt

Stonyfield Farm Whole Milk Chocolate Underground (6 oz)
220 calories
5 g fat
(3 g saturated)
36 g sugars

Stonyfield is notorious for being a little too generous with the sugar, but the nearly 3 tablespoons in their Chocolate Underground is bad even by their supersweet standards. Not even Ben & Jerry's makes a flavor of ice cream with this much sugar.
Sugar Equivalent: 4 Cherry Popsicles

Worst Candy

Twix (1 package, 2 oz)
280 calories / 27 g sugars
14 g fat (11 g saturated)

Twix takes the already-dubious candy-bar reputation and drags it through a murky pool of saturated fat. With more than half the USDA's daily consumption recommendation for these dangerous fats in each package, this is one hazardous after-lunch snack.
Saturated Fat Equivalent: 11 strips of bacon

This just makes Twix looks better to be honest.

Eat This Instead!
100 Grand (1 package)
190 calories
22 g sugars
8 g fat (5 g saturated)

Bah.

Worst Frozen "Healthy" Entrée

Healthy Choice Complete Selections Sweet & Sour Chicken (340 g)
430 calories
9 g fat (1 g saturated)
600 mg sodium
29 g sugars

Since when has fried chicken been healthy? Certainly not when it's cloaked in sugar.
Sugar Equivalent: 2 scoops Breyers Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Ice Cream

Worst Cereal

Quaker(??? LOL) 100% Natural Granola, Oats, Honey & Raisins (1 c)
420 calories
12 g fat (7 g saturated)
6 g fiber
30 g sugars

Granola, for all its good reputation, is usually weighed down by a deluge of added sugars. In fact, for the same amount of sugar, you could have a bowl of Cocoa Pebbles more than twice the size—and you'd get more fiber and save about 60 calories in fat.
Calorie Equivalent: 8 chicken wings

Eat This Instead!
Kashi GOLEAN (1 c)
140 calories
1 g fat (0 g saturated)
10 g fiber
6 g sugars

1. Worst Packaged Food in America

Marie Callender's Creamy Parmesan Chicken Pot Pie
1,060 calories
1,440 mg sodium
64 g fat (24 g saturated)

Marie Callender's perpetrates the ultimate sleight of hand here: The nutrition information says this medium-size entrée has two servings, but honestly, when have you ever split a potpie? Lard-strewn pastry tops and cream-based fillings are the lowest common denominators of the nutritionally nefarious potpie, and this one, with an ingredient list that reads like an O-Chem final, beats out dozens of horrendous iterations to earn this special place on our list.
Sodium Equivalent: 8 small bags of potato chips
Fat Equivalent: 23 strips of bacon
Calorie Equivalent: 7 Taco Bell Fresco Beef Tacos

Eat This Instead!
Marie Callender's Oven Baked Chicken (369 g)
320 calories
990 mg sodium
12 g fat (3 g saturated)

Somehow I ended up here while preparing to get groceries. It's good for a laugh.

[CommonSense]

Have not had any of that shit but twix and that was years ago.

 

[Guzim]

Twix <3

 

[MIMIC]

Worst in terms of health.

And Twix has a "dangerous" level of fat? wat

 

[Bear]

Thank god I don't touch this prepared stuff. The nutritional labels on some of them are absolutely horrifying.

I pretty much only buy basic raw ingredients, so at least I know what I'm getting with every meal.

 

[Winterfang]

I though this was about shoddy packaging. Meh

 

[CommonSense]

Eating for fun/convenience is why people are fat/have heart attacks.

Proof is on the label.

 

[wenis]

Nothing on that list is apart of my diet, but to those who regularly ingest that shit... Good luck.

 

[WanderingWind]

Thought this was about packaging too, but I love this types of lists. Gives me a nice shopping list for foods to try out. That pot pie sounds delicious.

[WanderingWind]

...

I know. Sometimes, I even eat things with sugar. I'm basically Hitler.

 

[itwasTuesday]

I will totally get down on some mc pot pies. Health be dammed.
I haven't had one in a year+ though, maybe I should will pick some up.

 

[ClassyPenguin]

Ovious list is obvious.

 

[Concept17]

I want a Twix now.

 

[The Real Abed]

I've never eaten any of that except Twix, and this isn't going to stop me from eating Twix. Especially when the recommendation is a shitty 100 Grand bar. Bah.

 

[wildfire]

I want a Twix now.

If you have 11 strips of maple bacon that's just as good.

...and this isn't going to stop me from eating Twix. Especially when the recommendation is a shitty 100 Grand bar. Bah.

*brofist*

 

[entremet]

Ugh. Spoilers

 

[itwasTuesday]

Ugh. Spoilers

That made me laugh.

 

[Kurtofan]

Twix

 

[Joe Shlabotnik]

I think the thing that made my eyes pop out the most was the Arizona drink with EIGHTY FOUR GRAMS of sugar. Holy shit. What is that, twenty teaspoons?

 

[NameGenerated]

TWIIIIIIXXXXX!!!!!

 

[Mac the KNife]

 

[CrankyJay]

Worst in terms of health.

And Twix has a "dangerous" level of fat? wat

I like how it said "hazardous". Good thing the human body doesn't really operate on a daily allowance.

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

Twix

It's all because they cascade their caramel now.

And that just makes it seems so much worse with that comparison. I think I'd prefer the 11 strips of bacon instead.

 

[zerotol]

So apparently Twix is a candy bar forged in hell

 

[JoeBoy101]

Protip: Avoid packaged foods. Shop the perimeter of your grocery store. You'll get healthier. Even better, avoid processed foods (i.e. bread).

 

[Power Glove]

TWIIIIIIXXXXX!!!!!

But ... but... it's the only candy with the cookie crunch.

 

[Bread]

well, the good news is that i don't eat any of those

but the bad news is that i am craving fettucine alfredo

 

[shadyspace]

Where are the goddamn pictures?

 

[WeAreStarStuff]

Thank god I don't touch this prepared stuff. The nutritional labels on some of them are absolutely horrifying.

I pretty much only buy basic raw ingredients, so at least I know what I'm getting with every meal.

This is me. I want to live.

 

[Bread]

Protip: Avoid packaged foods. Shop the perimeter of your grocery store. You'll get healthier. Even better, avoid processed foods (i.e. bread).

You stay up there on your ivory tower of fresh ingredients, and I'll keep enjoying my Elio's Pizzas.

 

[Delusibeta]

Mandatory.

(Although that said, I wouldn't be too surprised if the UK Twix is healthier than the US equivalent.)

 

[agrajag]

but twix are so good

 

[FourMyle]

Twix is hella nasty and so is Snickers, Milky Way, Hershies, etc.

I like this one though

Very good stuff

Food nazi's are as annoying as straight edgers.

You won't.

 

[kehs]

I was totally psyched to see bad packaging.

=/

 

[FourMyle]

Food nazi's are as annoying as straight edgers.

I don't really see straight edgers going into every alcohol/drugs thread trying to make themselves feel better about their personal choice though. It's unfair to straight edgers!

[picklecannon]

Twix is hella nasty and so is ... Hershies

This stuff is the best.

 

[Kurtofan]

I'm going to die of something anyway.

 

[Ultima_5]

thought this was about food that is hard to open

 

[FourMyle]

This stuff is the best.

This is pretty good but I was referring to their chocolate

 

[Dennis]

Now I want a Twix. Thanks GAF.

 

[zerotol]

Twix deserves better than this disrespect. We need a candy bar thread.

 

[parrotbeak]

Mmm Twix and bacon

 

[Here_Try_This]

Not even the worst. At least least the digornio has some flavor / somewhat recognizable ingredients. The off brands are on the level of pet food

 

[ClassyPenguin]

If this was a British article were would Findus be on the list?

While I have never heard of Mr. P's, it looks like a competitor to 99 cent Totino's Party Pizzas, not to Digiornos.

Although while talking about Digiornos, I had their meatball marinara pizza recently and it was disgusting. It tasted exactly like a meatball Hotpocket.
