    Looking at a box of cookies last night, one servicing size was 7 1/2 cookies...little, itty, bitty cookies (think animal cracker size). Who would just eat 1/2 a cookie.

    Cereal is the one I can't do. I was one of those growing up that would use an old butter tub for a cereal bowl. 1 little cup as a serving size...can't do it.

    YUP Cereal is a *kitten*! One cup! ONE! One freakin cup is supposed to do the trick?! NO! I REFUSE! Must..have..two..or..more..

    The one I have on hand right now is 2/3 of a cup per serving for 210 calories. Yikes! I use 1/3 cup as a topping for yogurt; that's really all I can do with it.

    A Tombstone pizza serving size is 1/5 of a pizza. How do you cut a circle into 5 equal pieces???

    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.

    I gotta agree on the cereal serving sizes - they are a joke. The ones I've seen often say LESS than a cup (I've seen many "3/4 cup serving". The only brand that gives a decent serving size is probably Kashi GoLean. I'd rather eat 200 calories and be full than eat 80 and be hungry in 30 minutes!

    Things I don't eat anymore, but they still irritate me.

    Nature Valley Granola bars. Two per package... ONE per serving..... W.T.F?
    Totino's Party pizzas. They are TINY and a serving is HALF the pizza. I can nibble away that much just carrying it from the toaster oven to the table!

    Pop Tarts. 2 come in the pack. Serving size is 1. What sane person eats pop tarts?

    Fixed that typo for you. :tongue:

    *gasp* You shut your mouth with that blasphemous talk!

    They just do that so that it appears that their product doesn't have a ridculous amount of calories. They know you'll probably eat / drink the whole thing if you see 100 calories, but that you may pass up even buying it if they put 250 calories on the package, so they call it "2.5 servings". It's just a marketing ploy to get you to buy their stuff. Totally misleading. It's really annoying when it's something in an itty-bitty "snack-sized" package and it shows more than one serving. Total crap.

    Girl Scout Cookies. They should provide nutrition info for the sleeve, since that's what my fellow fatties and I want to eat anyway

    Package of sausage links that come 4 to a package, lists nutrition info per 2oz serving instead of per link. total package is 14oz. You have to solve a word problem to eat sausage.

    Frozen enchilada entree containing 2 enchiladas. Serving size is one enchilada. One sad, lonely enchilada. Everyone knows enchiladas are served in pairs.

    Popcorn and rice. Oh and noodles. It's the whole dry vs. cooked debacle. By the time I think I've figured out how much I can eat, I give up and throw the box back in the pantry. Not worth it.


    THIS!! and beans...

    Packages that tell you the nutrition facts per 100g but not how much is in the package are the worst!

    I can't stand the microwavable containers of soup that supposedly contain two servings. They just baffle me. If the container is supposed to be the bowl you eat from, who is splitting that with someone else?
