You gotta eat half the package, man!

John Scalzi reveals his breakfast: Diet Coke, a multivitamin, and four Twizzlers. The problem, obviously, is twofold. Problem A is Diet Coke, which is nauseating stuff. He should switch to Diet Pepsi. The other problem is limiting his Twizzler intake to just four pieces. To get the full nutritional benefit of Twizzlers, one must consume at least half of a one-pound package, and then dispose of the wrapper by shoving it way down in the kitchen garbage can so the wife won't see it when she goes to toss some leftovers or whatever.
