As usual, Dr. Nick really comes through with the solid medical advice…at least when it comes to gaining a ridiculous amount of weight. As much as I wanted to try chewing bacon instead of gum, I knew this would be a bad idea for a few reasons. Speaking of things that probably aren’t good for your teeth: brushing them with milkshakes. Look, my doctor is already upset with me because of my supposedly “unhealthy” cholesterol – which is in no way related to my new “bacon chewing” habit, I swear! Anyway, I don’t need my dentist also yelling at me because I get a dozen cavities for brushing my teeth with milkshakes. Also, why don’t you just drink the damn milkshake and then brush your teeth? At least then your teeth are slightly less likely to be rotting and you still ingest about 400 extra calories right before bed.
But I did make the Pop Tart sandwich. According to my extensive research (going to the grocery store) Pop Tarts actually ARE worse for you than plain white bread, who would have thought? Rough nutrition breakdown for two slices of each:

Pop Tarts

Ingredients
- Pop Tarts
- Turkey Cold Cuts
- Lettuce
- Tomato
- Cheese
- Mayonnaise
- Mustard
Directions
Use the Pop Tarts as a bread substitute and assemble your sandwich.
I wanted this to taste good, I really did. There’s plenty of examples of sweet items being used as sandwich bread, one of the most common I’ve seen are doughnuts. However, this just wasn’t working for me. I guess mustard and cheery Pop Tarts weren’t meant to mix? I mean, I still ate it but I only had one bite as an assembled sandwich. Everything else was eaten separately, so I still ate more than I should have for a simple lunchtime meal.
I followed my sandwich up with some assal horizontology and was feeling pretty good. Overall, a success. As Lisa would say, have another Pop Tart tubby:
I’m comfortable with who I am.
