LMAO! I just had this discussion with my Mother-in-Law (the fat free freak)! We were grocery shopping together and she picked this up - purposely. I looked at her like she had 5 heads... she is used to this... I said that there is no way that HALF AND HALF can be fat free and still be half and half. She argued with me for 10 minutes and bought it anyway. The label says
fat free half and half, so it must be true - this is her totally convincing argument

. My husband (a chef) told her the same thing I did and read the label to her. She still doesn't get it. She still thinks it's half milk, half cream and that it's fat free. To make matters worse - she was buying it to make eggnog. She thought since it has some cream in it, it will work... and she'll have fat free eggnog. HUH?!!!???

I am SO glad that hubby didn't inherit her common sense (or lack of).
