Note: the "new" Millennium Bars contain 3.5 grams of trans fat and
probably a few other things that aren't all that great for you, but you
get what you pay for, right? I wish I had time to compile the nutritional
info for these, but much of it can be found on the internets.

see y'all at the kick off!
