Question

1.  Of the following choices, which would be the healthiest snack to eat at the movies:

1. A 3 1/2-ounce box of Raisinets
2. A medium popcorn, popped in oil, with salt and no butter
3. A 3-ounce box of Junior Mints
4. A 3 1/2-ounce box of Goobers

The

answer is C.

None of these foods is "healthy," but Junior Mints are the best of the bunch. Although they are made almost entirely of sugar, these candies are much lower in fat than most movie snacks and have fewer calories in comparison. And, believe it or not, you can get 15% of the average daily requirement of calcium from a box of them.
