    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.

    You would get a gold star on your geometry homework. See people? If your kids every complain about when are they ever going to use math in real life, show them this example right here. Math in action.

    I brought some Ben & Jerry's chocolate fudge brownie ice cream and had convinced myself that I could eat only 1/2 cup :laugh: that's impossible. It's 260 calories per serving=1/2 cup. You can so easily end of eating the whole pint :sad: But, it was so good:laugh: I will not make that purchase again. I usually get the Skinny Cow ice cream that's only 100 calories but I didn't this time.

    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?

    THIS!! Especially when right on the container, it says "Perfect for the office!" Who splits a bowl of soup with a coworker?

    Those darn frozen burritos where the serving size is half a burrito. HA! Or bread. Most types of bread list the serving as one slice or three... really?!

    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!!

    I was trying to buy some nuts. Every bag I picjked up was 3 servings. WTF? How can you open an already small bag, and just eat 1/3 of it. It's just ridiculous.

    Maybe it was meant to be just 1 serving but someone messed up and the label was printed with the typo that has not yet been fixed.

    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!

    Had it wrrrroooooong for yeeeeeaaarrsss... I always thought the serving size went as follows (cereal+bowl+spoon+milk=fun time)
    A box would last me two days MAYBE 3.

    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!

    I always feel bad leaving one poptart... why not just have them in two separate bags? Like honey buns?..

    Macaroons are famous because they are very hard to make ("high kitchen" sweets) and in this country you have entire shops built around them - same in Western-Northern Europe.

    My personal opinion it is an overhyped pastry sold at literally the price of gold... and it tastes like egg whites and SUGAR. But many people seem to love it.
    They are very fattening of course.

    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.

    I recommend an ice tea spoon. The handle is longer so you're less likely to get pb on your wrist. I can put a serious dent in a jar of pb.

    Hmmmm, oddly enough, I love marshmallow fluff, but have yet to have the world renound macaroon. I'd have to try it and see if it's worth all the fattyness. Lol.

    I have seen chocolate bars and rolls of sweets that have said 1 serving = 2/3rd of a pack... REALLY? Or when you buy e.g. a Milky way (The UK version) and it says 1 serving = 1 piece yet there are two in the pack. Who has the will power to buy a chocolate bar and measure out and eat only half or 2/3rds?!! Not me!
