200 Calorie portions of foods. ASAPScience made a crucial mistake though. The definition they gave in the video is for the calorie, which is 1/1,000th of a Calorie – note the capital ‘C’. 200 Calories is equal to 200,000 calories.

The video for Pixies new single offers – as its creators LAMAR+NIK put it – “SMOKE BOMBS. MILK BATHS. TEEN ANGST.” They forgot to mention FROOT LOOPS. It’s great to hear that Black Francis and the gang still have it too.
