Best solution would be to eat 9 servings7 -

What about the weight of each serving size? Does Frosted Flakes come it different flavors, that might be a reason.
EDIT: I went to the website, it has the same serving size for the different sizes.
Serving Size 3/4 Cup (29 g)

They could list it that way and it would make sense. The point is no one is cutting the round pizza into 5 slices .
My dad used to cut pizza in to 5 slices. Although there were 5 of us in the household at the time, so I guess that made sense.
And we had more than one slice. Obviously. Because who eats 1/5th.1 -
That sort of stuff is never accurate in terms of portion sizes. I could easily eat a whole pack of that sort of thing to myself!
I look at the weight of the pack and then the info per 100g to assess how many roughly will be in a serving.
Like crisps..."sharing pack" and it's not one of those massive ones, it's just a larger pack, 50-60g. Who's going to share that? We all know most people will just have it to themselves.
30g of cereal as well? It takes 100g just to have a half decent bowl a lot of the time.
1/4 pizza?2 -
Bought a bag of apples the other day and noticed it said "contains approx 8 servings" on the back. There were 6 apples in the bag...in fact there were 6 apples in every bag. What.21

Drink packets is my most recent one. Ya know, the ones intended on dumping the WHOLE thing into a 16oz bottle of water? I read the packet, it read "15 calories" I put it down, and then it occurred to me to check it again. Servings per packet? "about 2" WTF? WHO ONLY USES 1/2 A DRINK PACKET?!?! I know it was only a 15 calorie difference, but feeling misled into believing you consumed X calories to learn later you consumed double is kind of annoying.7

This is true of soda as well, that 16oz bottle of soda is TWO servings. You have to watch carefully0

I really enjoy Whole Food's chicken, feta and spinach sausages. The link is about the size of a hot dog, you would think that was one serving. A person could easily eat two of these.
Serving size? 1/2 a link. Each link is two servings.

That was disappointing. I am glad I don't live near a Whole Foods anymore.5 -
The first time I read a spaghetti label and realized a "portion" is 2 oz. Measured out 2 oz of it and... DAMN! That's nothing! So basically I had been filling up a bowl of pasta and probably eating like 5 "portions" in every sitting.
Who eats 2 oz of pasta?8 -
A package containing 2 duck legs. Servings per package? 3!6

I'm the exception and love when things are split into thirds because I cook for myself, my S.O. and brother-in-law, so 1/3 is perfect LOL0

I bought some bread and butter pickles tonight and the serving size is 3 3/4 pickles.6

I buy these corn chips I like, and the serving size is 30 grams. That sounds reasonable. The kicker is that the package has 35 grams. Are they expecting me to eat 30 grams and leave 5?11

I found a recipe for a fabulous Asian ramen soup and to get the carbs and calories where I wanted it had to split the ramen in half. So yes, I am that person who only eats half a ramen at a time
Me too! I'll do the whole block if I'm making it for lunch with some shrimp, but if I'm doing it with chicken thighs and a stir fry, it's perfectly adequate for just half a block.0 -

Non-fat Greek yogurt, national brand & store brand, same ingredients.
There must be some difference, if I took equal amounts the calories would be different.
