This was maybe 15 to 20 years back when some food companies were producing zero-fat foods like potato chips. Olestra was an ingredient and caused some tummy issues. Another example of the US assuming low-fat or zero-fat was the way to reduce obesity.

Or marketing to make money from people who would rather eat themselves skinny with diet products rather than going for a walk.

I think they released a Pringles Low Fat option with Olestra

my favorite comment that I can NEVER Unhear - is one side effect they referred to as Anal Leakage...

what in the actual fuck

lose weight with our low fat snack - just make sure you are wearing Depends first......

Found this:

"In the late 2000s, olestra lost its popularity due to supposed side effects and has been largely phased out, but products containing the ingredient can still be purchased at grocery stores in some countries."
