You guys.. If the Fritos bag says I can eat ONE OUNCE of Fritos.. And, I get out my ounce measuring spoon... It just doesn't work. 1 ounce = ten chips; ten chips do not fit in the spoon. Is there a way I could figure out how many chips I could eat, without having to count each and every chip I consume?

    Get a food scale! It's honestly one of the BEST investments I've ever made. Mine was 20 bucks.

    In this case, ounce is a measurement of weight. If you don't have a kitchen scale, you will have to count each one.

    I have an analog scale from Target that was only about $5 if you are interested in getting one.

    I agree! I absolutely LOVE my digital food scale. Makes measuring ounces and grams so much easier.

    yes. a scale.. because a fluid ounce is not the same thing as a "weight" ounce which is 1/16 of a pound or 28.4 grams.

    No reviews of the product always make me nervous - but looks to be about on par with the one I have and I LOVE mine!
