Just rooting though my pre low-carb stuff and found these Morrisons French toasts. I used to eat 6 at a time (50g) with a smear of marge on each, often going back for seconds, and sometimes getting through a whole 200g pack in one night.
They don't look awful for sugar, but the carbs figure is only 1.5g less per 100g than Haribo Starmix. Scary stuff once you realise that non-fibre carbs are essentially sugar as far as your body is concerned. On a full box night, I was getting 150g of carbs just from these. And there's me blaming the 90g in a whole chocolate orange.
I just thought it might be interesting to have a thread of stuff we used to think was healthy (or at least not especially unhealthy) that's now the exact opposite. I hope this hasn't been done before.
