Which Has More Calories?

Today’s Lunchtime Quiz at mental_floss tests your food knowledge. In each question, you are given two items and you decide which has more calories. I only scored 40%, but every question I missed had an item I’m not familiar with. Link

    I only missed the Chick-fil-a vs McDonald's chicken sandwich question but there was only a ten calorie difference between the two

    I felt good about the donut question until I realized... I can stop at just one muffin but donuts, not so much

    70% for me, but I had to guess based on the pictures. I've never eaten most of those items!

    50%. I guess random answering would be as good next time.
    What's Chick-fil-a?

    Chick-fil-A is a fast food restaurant in more southern states in the US.

    I remember my uncle used to pronounce the place "Chicka-feela" when it's actually "chick-fillet"

    40%, but to be fair, I, too, was totally unfamiliar with most of the items.

    If god himself made a chicken sandwich, it would almost be chick-fil-a

    If god himself made a chicken sandwich, it would be a lot of calories.

    I only missed the Whopper vs. Baja question, but that's because I'm not familiar with the second item. The others...I guess that's what I get for being a former anorexic. Did you know a Snickers bar has 14 grams of fat? Yeah. It never leaves.

    Yergh! Most of those things would have no calories at all for me. The only things I would actually eat are the butter (over several days) and the Chick-fil-a sandwich.

    I got 70% by just going against the obvious answer. I have been more vigilant since I found that my favorite
    smoked trout dip has more fat than Blue Castello cheese.

    90% woo-hoo. I only missed the atomic fireball question. This is probably because of all the things I choose to consume or not consume, candy/gum is proabably the only one I'm not diligently checking the nutrition content on.
