I once tried light sour cream, too. (Rookie mistake.) It turned out to be a watery mess that in no way resembled the real thing. Though I do buy the light versions of things, I've learned the hard way that there are two things that *never* should be light/low-fat: sour cream and Oreo cookies. .-= Tootie´s last blog ..Cell Phone =-.

I love sour cream and I wouldn't dare try a "lite" version. Why wreck a good thing? It's not like you dump the whole container on anyway. .-= Rachel V´s last blog ..Lil bit of trauma, lil bit of drama =-.

In a related note, I recently read an article that stated that many of the chemicals put into so-called Diet sodas cause your body’s metabolic rate to decrease. In essence, you are taking in fewer calroies (and taste), but you body is metabolizing them less. Thus, from a cost/benefit ratio, you’d be much better off drinking the real stuff.

I feel the same way about cream cheese. Ever tried the non-fat stuff?? (Or low fat—I forget what it’s called.) Terrible, terrible, terrible. I do like the 1/3 less fat cream cheese, but I won’t go any lower on the fat for cream cheese. Sometimes the extra cals are just plain worth it.

I agree! Although I am the queen of lite, low-fat, fat-free products, lite sour cream does not belong as a condiment, but is quite nice in baked goods or casseroles. I use it in hashbrown casserole! YUM!

I couldn't agree with you more. I accidentally bought "lite" sour cream for my sour cream sugar cookies. While you couldn't tell the difference in the cookies, thank God, I was mortified that it even made its way into my cart. I am a firm believer in the real deal as far as all products go...smaller portions if necessary, but the real deal. .-= Stacey Thomas´s last blog ..November Reflections =-.

Seriously. I hate it when people buy shit like that. A few extra calories aren’t going to kill you. If you’re going to have a baked potato or pierogies, you might as well have REAL sour cream. Same thing with potato chips or other snack foods. What’s the point of a delicious treat if it’s not? None.
