I bought a box of Cheesy Poofs at the Spencer's Gifts at Metrocenter. A 3 Oz. box is fairly large in size, probably because Cheesy Poofs, like all cheese-doodle clones, are mostly air. Indeed, since I only bought it for the box and to see what's inside, I can replenish my box of Cheesy Poofs with another 3 oz. bag of something similar which costs less than four dollars.
But looking at the nutrition facts, it seems at least some care was taken to make Cheesy Poofs slightly healthy, or at least non-lethal. I was expecting these nutrition facts to reveal that I was eating pure orange death, but instead what I found the most alarming were spelling errors. I thought it was spelled "protein". I'll look it up later.
And because I felt like it, I transcribed the data. See if it falls within your tolerances, and compare it to your brand of poofy cheese.
