Most ridiculous serving size?

suzzann666

Duh...peanut butter...2 Tbsp...really?

Theohariti

Lol. I agree. This just about drove me insane, until I just weighed out a serving. It's more like 3 croutons. :}

2 tbsp of peanut butter. Significantly less than you think if you're using actual tablespoons too (try weighing it!!). GTFO... gimme the jar and a spoon.

And then when you're trying to measure it out, half of it gets stuck to the spoon and you need to use another spoon to wipe it off. It's a 5 minute process.

Especially true with the PB2 powder.

any can of cooking spray that has some bull**** like "1/4 second spray" and ends up with ... at magically 0 calories even though the can has close to 900 calories in reality lol

Lol Ramen noodles. Serving size is half a block of noodles!

This. I'm side eyeing anyone who only eats half of a package.

So they can charge three times as much for a "low calorie" option lol o(IE 100 calorie nutty bars are individually wrapped but otherwise the exact same except for the price haha)

Our vegetable oil spray - a serving size is 1/8 second of spray. How the hell do you spray for only 1/8 of a second??

Mt Olive kosher dill pickle spears - 1 serving = 3/4 of a spear.

Thread win. I don't have to read anymore.

Actually my least favourite serving size thing is when it's listed in Millilitres instead of grams or ounces!! I have miracle whip that is 2 tablespoons (15 ml). How am I supposed to weigh that!! 15 ml of water equals about 15 grams of water, but miracle whip is not the same density as water!! I had to google it and from what I read it's roughly 10 grams, but really have no idea if that's actually correct.

Ben & Jerry's - 1/2 cup. Pure. Torture.

No such size with Ben & Jerry's

I thought it was packaged in single servings!

I guess for the same reason hot dog sausages comes in a pack of 5 and hot dog buns in packs of 6, pure business. They don't care if you got fat in the process as long you keep buying their stuff.

Hormel turkey pepperoni. Serving size is 30g, or 17 slices. 17 slices always turns up 29 or 31g.

i have never eaten the serving size of cereal in my life. If I'm going to have cereal, I know I'm going to have a full bowl.

Earlier I was eating dried figs. The serving size is 4 figs, or 1/4 cup. Servings per container: 4. But there are at least 25 figs in the package... Some things just don't add up.

And this isn't really a serving size but the nutrition information is just ridiculous... has anybody seen the kobe beef burgers in trader joes? 660 calories a patty and 56g of fat... yikes

Like others mentioned, cereal. Who the hell eats ONE cup of cereal?!

I'm getting pretty good a serving sizes. I eat one cup of cereal, half a cup of ice cream etc.

What I hate it the diabetic serving size of HALF a medium banana. Have you any idea how sad the other half of that banana looks by the next day!

I also hate things that have half cup (4 oz) serving sizes in a 14 oz. can. I think we should start a lobby that all packaged foods must be marketed in packages containing x number of servings with no fractions of servings left over.

I don't know about serving sizes but I have an irrational hatred of any container that has fractional servings. Servings per container - 2.5. WTF?

"How many servings shall we put in a container? Two or three? Oh, *kitten* it, let's just split the difference and call it two and a half."

So if it's just me and the wife, we have to store or throw half a serving, or over-eat.
If it's me, the wife and our daughter, we get stiffed on the servings, or have to open two packets and store/throw two servings.
If my step-son is visiting, we have to open two packets, and store or throw a serving.

LMAO! This is a dilemma. You know what..............we're just not going to eat anything with a half serving in it. That item is most likely made in hell and no one needs that, right?

And I agree about the pop tarts and cereal! I'm eating BOTH of these pastries and how every much cereal I can get in this bowl, it's going down. Have you ever seen a cup of Cheerios? You can still see the bottom of your bowl of your pour it. Unacceptable. A cup of Shredded Wheat? 6 pillows get in there and that's it. That too....unacceptable.

Oh no I have an even better one. Damn Fiber One brownies.

The commercial came up, I'm hungry as hell, that brownie looks big, fluffy, and delicious. 90 calories!? (If I remember correctly). I'm sold!

Head to the supermarket, buy me some Fiber One brownies, get home, open the box.
...

A damn brownie is like the size of my pinky. Length and width. DAMN IT.

LMAO This post really made me literally laugh out loud! I thought they looked fabulous, but now I know not to bother buying them

They're delicious. But yes, small. It's hard to stop at one, it's only 90 calories after all...
