I don’t have a picture of it, but I was recently reading the nutrition information on a Coors Light 16-ounce can (yeah, I know). The serving size says 12 ounces, then the servings per container said 1-1/4. Someone needs remedial math.

Yeah, but ask them how much bigger it is, in percent, and they’d either get the right answer, or say 50% ;-)

Hey, guy, Don't you know you are supposed to drink only 12 ounces of the 16 ounces in the can and sacrifice 4 ounces to the gods of dietary correctness by pouring those four ounces on the floor? After all, they need beer too, you know! THAT'S how you get one 12 ounce serving in a 16 ounce can. . .

The other way is that five beer buddies go out drinking. . . four of them drink their serving's worth from their cans and give the balance to the fifth buddy. . . unsanitary but it works and satisfies the beer busybodies!

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.
