text: So I'm tooling down Scottsdale Road on a beautiful Saturday afternoon and all of a sudden it hit me like a lightning bolt . . . I am superbly and without question extremely thirsty. So I look around for someplace I can drive through and get a drink . . . I'm thinking something exotic . . . like a star fruit margarita, or a Peter Rabbit, or a French Coke. Well, I'm in north Tempe . . . not in Tahiti, nor at Searsucker or in Santa Fe. So, of course, QT was the closest exotic drink haven I could see.\n\nBut, I had to go inside to look over my exotic choices . . .I settled on a pineapple/vanilla green tea. That's about as exotic as QT gets. It was fresh, but certainly lacked the pineapple flavor and vanilla was entirely missing. That'll teach me to satisfy my champagne taste with a cheap punch purchase. Although, the tea was fresh tasting and did satisfy my thirst.\n\nIt was mid-afternoon and dinner was a few hours off and since I worked through lunch I decided to buy a little snack to go with my exotic tea. A small container of snickerdoodles. One serving for only $1.49. Snickerdoodles are usually a super yummy sugar cookie with cinnamon on top. These were not. They were not particularly good and the cinnamon was almost not existent. I ate 4 out of my 10 small cookies / 1 serving container. I finally decided they were just not that good and I would drink my non-sweet non-pineapple-vanilla green tea. But I made a huge mistake:  I decided to see if I couldn't figure out how many calories, fat & sodium my 4 little measly tasteless cookies had set me back.\n\nA miracle! A miracle! A miracle that I didn't gain weight just sitting in my car. That little single serving container had - - -  530 calories, 45% of the daily allotment of saturated fat and 18% of the daily limit for sodium!   Thank goodness I only ate 4 of the 10 cookies before I discovered their deadly potential to increase my dress size in one serving! \n\nYes, I checked. They are packaged and labeled by QT  . . . somewhere in Tulsa, OK.  Well, it is not OK with me. I will never buy another snack from QT without reading the label first! Read the labels folks. Read the labels. I just blew about 200 calories on rather mediocre cookies. Ugh!\n\nOh, yeah . . . otherwise, the QT station was clean and the employees were friendly. Not their fault I am getting fatter by the minute.
