Most ridiculous serving size?

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.

These are cracking me up cause I've totally thought most of these! Wish they would just make it easy on us!

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...

Club Crackers!! One serving is 4 crackers!! Who really only eats 4 crackers with their bowl of soup/chili/tuna etc...smh

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

THIS:blushing:

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!

This reminds me of a frozen pizza serving I've seen: "1/5 of a pizza". Who the heck cuts their pizza into fifths?! LOL

Pop Tarts. 2 come in the pack. Serving size is 1. Who eats just 1 pop tart?

Exactly!

I hate cans on vegetables/beans/etc with "about 2.5" servings. I do carb counting and I know I am going to eat a whole can of CiCi Beans (garbanzos), so here I am in the store with the cans flipped around trying to do decimal math in my head. I eventually just give up and don't buy beans.

that and juice/soda that is 2.75 servings per bottle. -_-

Or some of the frozen vegetarian meats that have a serving size of so many ounces - sometimes there is a bunch of ice crusted up on that thing so I have to cook it to know how much is a serving, but then if I cook too much I'll just eat what I cooked anyway.

I need to know who just eats half of the brick of ramen?? If I'm going to embalm myself with salt and carbs, I'm going big. I"m eating the WHOLE brick.

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

You know that a circle spans 360 degrees. Divide this by 5 and you have 72 degrees.

1) Use the protractor (a semi-circle) to create a full circle.

2) Make a mark on the circle at 0 degrees. Make 4 more marks at 72, 144, 216, and 288 degrees.

3) From the center of the circle, draw a line segment out towards each of those marks.

You now how 5 equal parts of a circle.

I have a bag of croutons in the cabinet... serving size 2 tablespoons. How are you supposed to measure that when most of the croutons won't even fit properly in an actual tablespoon? Why not just say "serving size about 2 croutons"? On top of that -- while it's obviously healthier to go with none anyway -- what kind of salad that includes croutons only uses two of them?

This drives me BANANAS! I like to log accurately though so i Just throw 'em on my scale since it's on the counter anyways. And then I proceed to have 5 servings of croutons on my salad.

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.

What you have described here is genius marketing at its best. Tim Tams ("Australia's Favourite Biscuit" - can't stand them myself) used to come in a packet of 11. Why? Prime number, couldn't be evenly split. Want an even share between a few people? Open a 2nd packet... It's very devious

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

I could see 3 if you cut it like a peace sign, but how do you pull off 5....


Now while you could get it by cutting the pizza into 10ths, and then eating two pieces, but thats not the point of the logic puzzle now....

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.

Lol-have to do a word problem to eat sausage. That seriously made me lol.

1 macaroon - size of a coin
