Eating: Most Fattening Sorbet

As you can probably infer from the title, this post is about my experience with a sorbet. A pineapple flavoured sorbet in a hallowed out mini pineapple. Specifically, a pineapple flavoured sorbet that contains...700 calories?! It’s crazy and it’s possibly true. This is the story of Gooble sorbet. 130 ml of sorbet at 700 calories?  There’s only one word for this - sketchy.

My parents brought this home from the market. At first I was intrigued as I am when presented with any type of frozen dessert. I’ll confess, I have the habit of looking at the nutrition label before I eat something, just out of curiosity and interest for my health. I don’t count calories, I’m just a nutrition label enthusiast. Anyways, I looked at the number of calories and my jaw dropped. Could this be a mistake? That was possible right? If you don’t understand the shock aspect of this, here’s a little comparison. The calories in this little less than half a cup of sorbet is equivalent to the amount of calories in a McDonalds Big Mac. Besides aren’t sorbets marketed as a healthy alternative? 

I couldn’t bear to eat more than a spoonful but it was surprisingly good. The sorbet was creamy and had a strong pineapple flavour. However, my common sense tells me that I shouldn’t be eating more of this sorbet anytime soon...

I conclude that the amount of calories is attributed to the amount of glucose syrup in this. Have you had any weird food experiences lately?
