Dropped $8 on 'light' olive oil thinking it was lower calorie

Grabbed a bottle at the store because the front label said 'light' in big letters. Figured it meant less fat, right? Turns out it just means lighter color and flavor, same calories as the regular stuff. Felt like a total rip off for the price. Anyone know a brand that actually labels low-calorie oil clearly?

Totally did the same thing last month. My brain just saw 'light' and went straight to diet soda logic. Felt like a real genius at the checkout.

My buddy grabbed a "light" olive oil thinking it was low cal. His salad dressing tasted like sadness.

My cousin did that and her pasta was just... wrong.
