I love how "propellant" is listed as an ingredient.
Why don't they just tell us we're eating motor oil and wood pulp and whatever other sh#t they decide to throw in there. Apparently the FDA doesn't give enough of a crap to protect us from this junk.0 -
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.
I was actually shocked when I saw that it was half a brick of ramen noodles. To make it more filling, I added veggies to the half brick. So yes, I did only eat half of the brick, but I added to it. :-)0 -
A Few pet-peeves of mine would have to be:
1) Ketchup/condiments: Serious, measure out 1 tablespoon and see how far it gets you
2) Granola: 1/4-1/3 of a cup for 200-400 calories.... some one get me the fcking tablespoon... :mad:
3) Oreo's: 3 cookies? Why god why? 3 cookies are whats left at the bottom of my milk in crumb goo form by the time I'm done with the sleeve of oreos... SAME GOES FOR GIRLSCOUTS!
4) Cheese: I don't like cheese but I'm sure that 1 oz or 1 inch cube isn't alot. My family eats cheese by the pound.
5) Butter: again I don't use it but try and butter you bagel with 1 tsp of butter. Go ahead try it and watch that battle soak it up like a fricking sponge until you used 2 tbsp
6) peanut butter: 2 tbspoons covers on slice of bread with a thin layer. IF you try and cover two its has to be strong *kitten* bread or you'll rip it (USE TOAST)
7) PACKAGES WITH MORE THAN ONE DARN SERVING!
I bought some felafel chips the other day. I opened the package ate a few, turned it around and looky here! 1.6 servings...
Not amused.
I ust gave it to my brother. Here ya go ell it pissed me off you can have them.
Theres more but alot of people have said them already! Haters united here :flowerforyou:0 -
Not that it's that high calorie, but I sometimes buy Campbell's Healthy Request soups for lunch. One serving is 250ml. A can is 540ml. So you have some for spillage?0

My favorite is when the serving size is measured in units not listed elsewhere on the container and then you have about 2 servings. How do I measure about when splitting something evenly? Is it more, is it less?0

1 bottle of red wine ... sweet jaysus, how do these people expect us to survive?0

4) Cheese: I don't like cheese but I'm sure that 1 oz or 1 inch cube isn't alot. My family eats cheese by the pound.
This! The fact that it's so friggin expensive here should be a deterrent but I love a good chunk of cheese so much, and it so many different forms.0 -

International Cafe coffee.
Serving size...2 oz.
As made per instructions it's 6 oz., they do it so they can say it has no trans-fat.0 -
For those frustrated with the dry vs cooked pasta, pasta typically swells when it's cooked. If you want just one serving, measure out the dry amount, and it should be the prepared measured amount when you are finished cooking. I don't usually make one serving of pasta (since I will be feeding my whole family). I just make it, and then measure the correct amount for myself.0

our olive oil spray is marked as 5ml per serve... how am I meant to measure that in a hot pan?!!!0

I used to eat this full fat, full sugar greek yoghurt all the time, it was so good. But then I noticed that the serving size which I thought was an individual tub actually contained 1.2 servings! What the heck?0

Pop Tarts. 2 come in the pack. Serving size is 1. Who eats just 1 pop tart?
I know, right? You'd leave one lonely Poptart and no one wants that. :<
I'm glad I never liked Pop Tarts.

I think I read some woman sued them over this. The calories were low enough that they could put "0" per serving, so she was spraying a crapload of it into her pans, but when you use a bunch of it there ARE actually calories. She sued for false advertising. I think she won it.
Just out of interest I was looking at someones food log on here.... They logged 100 (one hundred) sprays of a similar spray.... Sayin' nuthin'....0 -

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.
thank you, fellow smart-a**! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :bigsmile:0 -
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.
Word problems before you can eat. I'll go get my calculator!0 -
Maybe I'm the only one, but instant oatmeal. One packet does NOTHING for me, I've tried! Granted, I make mine fairly "dry" so maybe that has something to do with it, but still. Even my little girls, who eat like birds, ask for more after one packet!0

Very fattening? Seriously? You can eat 4 of the ones in the picture for the calorie cost of one Pop-Tart. Not that I have anything against Pop-Tarts. But macarons are yummy, too. The ones Trader Joe's sells are even slightly less calorific, at 45 calories each. 12 to a pack, 3 people in my house, 4 each for a great, 180-calorie dessert that's very easy to fit within my daily calorie goal.My life is over..... what in the world am I going to do with THAT?! shove that pink quarter back where you found it, please and thank you.
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.0 -
As for the Tombstone Pizza..................I worked that one out. I cut the pizza into 6 pieces and eat 1 1/2. Works for me whether it comes out or not. Most other foods I just round up to nearest cup or oz. I don't want to be too anal about measuring. Takes longer to figure it out than actually spend time eating it.:laugh:0

I have a jar of pickles that says serving size: 2/3 pickle. Whaaa???0

Queso dip! Two tablespoons? Puhlease. Also while we're on the subject, tortilla chips. 12? Absolutely not!0

But that is a 1/4 pizza. 1.5/6=3/12=1/4
Safer to round down to that 1/6.0 -

Not me-can't do it!!! Especially the Frosted Strawberry ones......0 -
Oh I'm so glad I live in a mostly metric country. All food labels are in 100g (or ml, whichever is appropriate) and along side that is the info for a serving which is usually something like; one pack, one rasher, one biscuit, one pot, 1 average piece of fruit (plus weight), etc.
I don't think I've seen many stupid serving sizes. Some might be a little on the small side though 0 -
Pasta. I can't have pasta without having a giant plate of it, but the serving size is supposed to be like the size of your fist or whatever. I need bigger fists.0
