Now It’s Just Silly

Domino Carbon-Free Sugar

Domino sugar, “now certified Carbonfree.”  Spotted in WalMart.

I am, of course, compelled to point out that the molecular formula for sucrose is C12H22O11.  That’s 12 atoms of carbon.

According to Domino, what they actually mean is that the “carbon footprint” of the production process is neutral.  Evidently, that was just too clunky of a slogan to put on the label, so they settled for implying that their product is composed only of colorless gases.

Hey, whatever makes you feel all self-righteous…
