Nope, they’re correct. The typical serving size for canned or bottled beer is 12 oz., so 16 oz. is 1- 1/4 servings. Just confusing semantics.

16 - 12 = 4. 4/12 is not 1/4. It's 1/3.

Sorry, didn't see your mea culpa before I responded.

I wonder if they'd send me a free case if I called 'em on it and told them I was reporting them for misleading nutrition information... ;-)

I will say that the Raisin Bran box may have been a fluke. In my experience, with both Kelloggs and Post, I’ve gotten more raisins than that in every bowl, to the point that I have wished there were less raisins (makes it too sweet).

Ever seen the KFC add on TV where the pieces of chicken are stacked above the rim of the bucket? I’ve never seen one!

Also, on the soup cans, in tiny print, it says the Campbells cans are being compared to other brands’ condensed soup cans. So maybe the other brands are getting smaller so now the percentage difference is greater?

Nah, I'm just talking about the name, "jumbo shrimp" as it applies to the thread.

Sort of like the "new larger gallon" ; )

“...stacked above the rim of the bucket?”

I noticed that right away - had a good laugh at that.
