Kissing for one minute will bun about 26 calories.

Don't work out, make out!
This is verifiable It might be 2.6 calories per minute, but not 26. 26 calories/minute is what a healthy 200 lb male would burn running a 5 minute mile (read: sprinting).

That was my initial reaction. While the treadmill's readings might not be 100% accurate I have an idea of how much time and how many steps it takes me to burn one calorie and it doesn't add up. I think there'd be a lot more ing going on if the 26 calorie thing were true.

Even if you consider the "afterglow" calorie burn it's maybe 10 calories. Otherwise the world would be a much skinnier place.


Granted, I'd still be fat.

Like I said, a calorie is not a calorie. What we label a "calorie" is actually a kilocalorie. So, yes, 26 calories? I can believe that.

You won't want to skip Zumba in favor of a makeout session, but next time you're lounging around on the couch with your spouse, turn up the heat with some calorie-boosting kisses

Google thinks otherwise

Rats outnumber people. Do they really need an aphrodisiac?

Trick question. Purple Drank is real AND it is made of (dangerous) crap.

Thank you.

That is all.

I'd rather make out than do zumba but that has nothing to do with calories.

To impress and attract a potential mate, some male birds will sing their species' specific songs, a variety of original songs, and even copy a few songs from other birds.
