> > Wow dude, sorry to hear that... what is chocolate snickers sandwidth paste? Is this like peanutt butter? It does say avoid excessive amounts of chocolate.. Where did you get the hamburger at? Did the doctor have an explanation? I would call you doctor and see if he had an idea... That is a tough one to narrow it down to. It could have been either one I suppose although I would guess the chocolate.

> > I know how hard it is to not eat so much chocolate, I ate way to much today! I considered it my "bad day" of eating. Try not to do it everyday or you might see the weight come on fast.

> Nick - have you heard of Nutella? Basically it's exactly the same think with more penuts in it. I was eating that paste like there was no tommorow for a bout a week or 2. No probs before.

> My guess is it was the burger. It was bought by a friend at some store. The store is preety old i think. So I bet the meat was old. Bastards!

> Yeah, the weight is definately coming on. From a 5'10 60kg beenpole I am going to be a tubby little fellow!!!!!! Oh, well. Rather that than the constant fright.Never heard of it before.. I hope it wasn't a gas station! I thought their hot dogs were diseased because you don't know how long they been sitting on that roaster! Your burger might have been sitting their for day's and spoiled. Next time go to Mcdonalds LOL
