    Doesn't the majority of the population learn math growing up? I don't see an issue.

    Texas toast croutons. One serving is one tbs (7g) at 30cals. That's like, 2 pieces of crouton. In my dry a s s salad .

    I used to eat a whole bag for a snack (dread to think how many calories!).

    the 2/5 of a packet would probably be relative to 8 oz of water. Since most water bottles are 16 - 16.9oz that would be accurate since you are supposed to dump the whole thing into a water bottle. But if you were to have an 8 ounce glass of water, you'd only use a little less than half. That being said - it's the way they get people into thinking it's negligible calories. I mean i'd drink it either way, but it's like the servings on healthy choice. Yeah, of course it's low calories, but look what you get for it in return.

    I laugh at serving sizes of chicken nuggets all the time. I seriously cannot remember the last instance I only ate 4 chicken nuggets

    Bread. Serving size 1 slice. Yes, I understand it could happen, but if I use bread It's probably for a sandwich.

    A half sandwich is just sad.

    I love these little nut mix bags that have come out recently, but it's a 45g seriving - so the serving size is 30G - 1.5 per packet. No ONE is going to open that little bag and eat 2/3 and put the rest away!

    The soup I use as a base for many casseroles has 3.4 serves in a can. 3.4. It's not even a round number!! It's a nonsense fraction. Very irksome.

    I bought a can of drink a few weeks back which had 2 servings. It's a CAN.
