Don't you just love the "2.5" servings for many packaged foods? Because, yes, I often have 1 and a half people over for lunch! Especially good when it comes in a frozen food that says not to re-freeze. What's your favorite "serving size" entry?

    I like those little single serve cups of soup that are made to eat on the go but are 2 servings. First - no one eats only 1/2 of one of those and 2nd - what are you supposed to do with the other 1/2? Now I have the pressure of always finding a friend so I can eat my soup and give them half!! :laugh:

    It makes the calorie count "look" better to those who don't know how to read it. Only 120 calories per serving, but with 2.5 servings, it's 300 calories... if like many people, you eat the whole thing.

    Glad you're looking for friends to eat the other serving of soup!

    I hate throwing out food, but when there's no storage handy... I guess I'd rather throw it out than store it on my body.
