Name an item(s) that have a serving size that is difficult to adhere to:



Fig Newtons - 2 cookies
Tortilla Chips - 7 chips (really - who eats 7 chips and stops?!)


And...Go!

    Those Nutty Buddy chocolate bar things...they come two to a pack and the serving size is only one bar (I think). I wouldn't know for sure b/c I ALWAYS eat both!

    Haagan Daz and Ben & Jerry's ice cream. How you can only stop at 1/4 of a container is ridiculous. Most ice cream eaters I know usually clean out the container!

    Trail mix when it's a 1/4 cup, that's not much when you weigh it out. I agree with peanut butter, i'm glad i found them in premeasured serving containers. I was sick of trying to get it into the measure spoon and back out again.

    Pop Tarts - 1 pastry.

    If the serving is ONE pastry why do they put TWO in a package?!! Trickery

    This!

    I do stop myself at half the container, but 1/2 cup serving, so not enough.

    Peanut Butter and oreos have the stupidest serving size of all time. Along with mayo and salad dressing.

    Any single-serving drink: "Per 1 cup serving" when there's clearly more than that in the container/bottle.
