This was from the current issue of Time magazine, in a special section about "best inventions". Is it just me, or does anyone else think this is just wrong? :eek:

Tastes Great, Less Filling

Inventor: David Burke
Availability: Now, online, $5.95 a bottle
To Learn More: www.flavorspraydiet.com

Looking for a way to add taste while cutting calories? Chef David Burke, known for his Willie Wonka–like creations at New York City restaurant davidburke&donatella, has created a line of flavor sprays that mimic the taste of high-cal foods but have no fat, calories or carbs. Available in 18 varieties—such as Memphis BBQ, pesto and chocolate fudge—the sprays are concoctions of natural and artificial flavors. A shot of bacon can make scrambled eggs seem like a full breakfast feast, while root-beer-float or marshmallow spray may make you crave rice cakes.

This must be what Paris Hilton & Mary Kate Olson "eat". I wonder if you can spray it on cheesecake?

Don't you follow their PR statements -- They gorge on burgers and fries -- they just have fast metabolisms. :D God I hate that BS.

Years ago they sold flavored sprays and you were supposed to spray your mouth when you had an urge to partake in something forbidden -- didn't work then and I doubt that it would work now -- after all they do have flavored rice cakes etc.
