    That first video is the reason why I always measure in grams (not oz) on the scale and not depend on measuring cups or spoons. When I make toast, I put the toast on a plate, and put the plate on the scale and zero out the weight. Then I measure the butter/peanut butter/whatever in GRAMS as I spread it on the toast. It's actually much easier and quicker than trying to get the butter or peanut butter out of the measuring spoon.

    I always use my scale. Not only is it more accurate, it's just simpler than dragging out and dirtying up an measuring cup or spoon.

    The second video doesn't' surprise me at all. Whenever there is a human assembling, there is room for error. Convenience foods are convenient, but leave you at the mercy of someone else. Rather than recommending a day of fasting, I think it's better if folks just get in the habit of properly preparing their own food.

    Thanks for posting. While I know there are always discrepancies epecially at Fast food places since people tend to go heavy on things they enjoy on a sandwich (like mayo) I didn't realize how large of a discrepancy there could be in pre packaged items I thought they were weighed for accuracy but apparently that isn't the case.

    Holy crap! I buy trail mix at Publix. I measure everything out and put into individual containers bc I am a chronic binger. Well it has 16 servings of 1/3 a cup. Two times now I have gotten 12 servings. This explains everything. Time to buy a scale for work and one for home!!!
