PEPPERIDGE Farm - maybe taking a hint from the success of its low-fat snacks - has joined the fat-free movement with the introduction of two cookie and brownie varieties.
Flavors are milk-chocolate ripple and double-chocolate fudge. Each contains a whopping 60 calories but at $2.79 for 10 cookies, you can't afford to get too fat.
Fudge brownies and chocolate-chip blondies also are available. They contain 120 calories per bar; a box of five costs $2.79.

So slow
Just how slow is ketchup? A drop of Heinz leaves the bottle at a speed of 25 miles per year, say the folks at Heinz in an interview with the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
Heinz also reports:
The people of Indianapolis, Ind., use more ketchup than any one else.anyone. Following Indianapolis in annual per-capita consumption are Charleston, S.C.; New Orleans, La.; Charlotte, N.C.; and Birmingham, Ala.
Heinz produces about 50 million bottles of ketchup daily during the peak months of August and September. ILLUSTRATION: Photo
