But it was free and admission was based on writing an essay.

- Comment on This Avocado Oil that claims to be “0 Calories” 🙄 3 days ago:
If it’s in the form of a spray, and I’m spraying it onto the cooking surface rather than the food, then yeah. I’d probably spray for like 2 seconds and only a fraction of that would actually end up on the food.
