- ripstuntz, on 02/13/2008, -0/+119Tic-Tac's PR needs to hop on this. You dont see "Breath Savers" saving any lives.
- ConanTL, on 02/13/2008, -2/+87Oh man, I can already see the press all over this one with cheesy comments:
"Despite her sickness, she's in mint condition"
"She's a breath of fresh air."
"She doesn't let herself be hassled, countering her bullies tic for tac"

. - inactive, on 02/13/2008, -1/+73That would suck so bad
- wild, on 02/13/2008, -6/+50Well, its probably a good guess her ***** don't stink.
- jd33, on 02/13/2008, -3/+46It's probably Lupus
- a6n28f, on 02/13/2008, -1/+41Not quite right. In terms of food and nutrition, Tic Tacs are indeed 2 calories each. However, to a physicist the food calorie is actually his kilocalorie, so they are 2 kilocalories only in a strict thermodynamic sense that is almost never applied to food, and certainly not in a short human interest news piece.
They are effectively two units of energy measurement with the same name.

- arbouler, on 02/13/2008, -1/+381 stone = 14 pound = 6.3kg
- iashraf, on 02/13/2008, -3/+37At least she's got fresh breath
(lololololol?) - TMac08, on 02/13/2008, -0/+32It's never lupus.
- inactive, on 02/13/2008, -6/+32at least her breath will be fresh
- jd33, on 02/13/2008, -2/+28For Certs.
- yohnstoppable, on 02/13/2008, -9/+34Reminds me of Micheal Cera's character in Juno
- lostarchitect, on 02/13/2008, -1/+26article with picture of her: http://snafu-ed.blogspot.com/2008/02/doctors-baffl ...
- JordanTW90, on 02/13/2008, -0/+23Who still uses the unit stone as a measurement?
- jd33, on 02/13/2008, -0/+22Not before they were acquired by "Life Savers"
- maxyRO, on 02/13/2008, -12/+33While some models struggle to do that...
- khail250, on 02/13/2008, -3/+24that would mean 1 tic tac is like three whoppers with cheese, friend, I don't think so..
- KeepSwinging, on 02/13/2008, -2/+23Marge: Lisa, hello! How are you doing in England? Remember, elevator is called a 'lift,' a mile is called a 'kilometer,' and botulism is called 'steak and kidney pie.'
- raehtz10, on 02/13/2008, -8/+28Sorry, I have to:
NOM NOM NOM - jonshipman, on 02/13/2008, -0/+19The British
- thefandango, on 02/13/2008, -0/+18Check them for heavy metal poisoning. JUST DO IT.
- kenman345, on 02/13/2008, -0/+18Man she must be a cheap date.
Sorry for double posting but i thought of this after two minutes so, sorry. - gudnbluts, on 02/13/2008, -0/+16Yeah. We use an unholy mixture. Peoples' weight is measured in stones, and yes, it's 14 pounds. We measure distance in miles, but the government is now insisting we measure weights of sold goods in kilos, temperature in celcius (although weather forecasts often give both). We drink beer in pints and buy milk in litres.
It's because Imperial is our system, and just because the government mandates change doesn't mean it happens overnight. We're in a transition phase. You'll probably have similar problems if you ever do it in America. Some countries take to it better than others. - demodawid, on 02/13/2008, -1/+17It's NOT lupus
- JamesMorris, on 02/13/2008, -4/+20American's be hating because all their food is processed *****, i,e Taco Bell.

Eh, kinda cute. I wonder if she can stomach... oh, well, nevermind. She's underage. - inactive, on 02/13/2008, -2/+16COMBO BREAKER!
- DemDude, on 02/13/2008, -1/+15Thanks, I was wondering what that might mean =)
Still, who the ***** measures in stone? Makes you feel like going back to the middle ages. Metric System FTW - inactive, on 02/13/2008, -0/+13No, i don't think she can eat Cheerios either.

- mattyk123, on 02/13/2008, -2/+13Oh come on, sure we don't have the best food in the world. But you haven't lived until you've tried a full English.
- rbdkx, on 02/13/2008, -2/+13Mirror?
- krytz86, on 02/13/2008, -1/+12Haggis is scottish you doss *****. Us scots have fine cuisine, such as the battered mars bar.Sublime.
- inactive, on 02/13/2008, -0/+10Nom Nom Nom
- Elohir, on 02/13/2008, -7/+17To say English/British food is bad is just plain ignorant. :)
- PwnedByJon, on 02/13/2008, -1/+11"The teen gets all her nourishment from a specially-formulated feed through a tube."
Nobody said she's living off tic tacs, why don't people read the articles themselves anymore. - INDOAZZ, on 02/13/2008, -9/+19JUNO
- gudnbluts, on 02/13/2008, -1/+11I always wonder if Americans get the first part of that joke, as they do often think Brits use kilometres.
- taquitohater, on 02/13/2008, -1/+10I get hogsheads to the furlong and that's the way I likes it!
- chromerium, on 02/13/2008, -2/+11Miles, duh.
- moletimer, on 02/13/2008, -0/+9Her sweat must smell of mints, too.
- Timmmm, on 02/13/2008, -1/+9Sounds to me like a mistake by the Simpsons writers. Why would you have 'True, joke, joke' rather than 'True, true, joke.' They probably just assumed that since we use SI units we don't use miles.
- britishrob, on 02/13/2008, -0/+8Actually no. Beer is still sold in pints = 568ml

- inactive, on 02/13/2008, -0/+8Waka waka waka,
- DaClamp, on 02/13/2008, -1/+9While some British food is good, you do have steak and kidney pie. That kinda ruins it. Also, the teeth thing is a fun and popular stereotype. Get over it, every culture has one.
- cambob76, on 02/13/2008, -0/+7How many Katie Curics is that?
