I saw a half loaf of bread in the store just a couple days ago. Never saw one before.

I’ve had rhe avocado oil chips. Okay. Don’t eat them very often. There used to be a brand called Stateline Potato Chips in New England. They used a particular and distinctive type of potato when I was very little. They tasted great and the chips had a kind of rim on the edges. Later then must have switched to some generic potato like all the other brands were using and they were never as good.

I rarely see any snack items for sale that are actually one serving. When you read the label most items are 2 or 3 servings.

Almost every snack item is a single serving. The label is just reduced because these manufacturers know people are idiots and don't read, so they can make people think the bag has 1/2 or 1/3 the salt or sugar that's actually in it. It's still a single serving in terms of someone eating it, it's just two or three "servings" so the nutrition facts look better to people.

Try comparing the serving SIZE across brands, flavors, or size bags. Alot of them are one Oz, 8-12 chips. Not very many people eat that little. Maybe a three-year-old. Maybe.

So you are saying that a bag of chips labeled three serving are actually one serving and the manufacturer is lying.

Cute.

I don’t think so.

People are just used to pig sized servings

Actually, yes, it may have been Wise that had the sort of edge ring on the chips. It’s been so long.

Walmart and Sam’s Club sell boxes of the assorted small bags for lunches.
