Despite the event name sounding like the title for Barbie’s next animated, straight-to-DVD movie, I went into Strawberry Fest optimistic. I had my extra-loose jeans on and had scheduled a date with the Wang first floor bathroom in advance, just in case (strawberries are high in fiber, you know).

One of the California Pizza Kitchen's salads recently won the title of the unhealthiest salad in America. However, the CPK in the Roth Food Court at Stony Brook University does not sell this salad.

This meal can be made for as little as 32 cents! That's a little bit more than a gumball.
