<carefully looks up "google bun" in her weightwatchers book>

<doesn't find an entry>

<checks bun packaging but no sign of nutritional values on the brown paper bag>

<decides to declare said bun "2 points" and eat it anyway>

<munches happily on bun, secure in the knowledge that if it's more than 2 points, she can blame her shrunken jeans rather than her expanding stomach>
