I can''t believe you are going on and on about the calories over 1 piece?? 1 piece?? What the hell does that even mean? How big or small piece? It didn''t even strike you once to mention a rough dimension or still better, mention it by weight, for eg. 100g!?! Like most of the sane part of the world does!!!!
