LOL!

If there’s a prototype for the pound, I wonder if it’s weight is changing, too.

I was in the frozen seafood business when imports from Australia and Asia started drifting into the U.S. market.

American gulf shrimp as well as Mexican all came in 5 pound blocks, and the customer base was used to that unit of measure. These new packs came in 2 kilo blocks (4.4 pounds)....some importers booked 'em in (and sold) as 5 pounders, pocketing quite a bit of sneaky extra profit.

If questioned, they'd just tell the customers that 2 kilos equals 5 pounds...amazing how often they got away with it.
