Not only that, but Safeway sells shrimp with the label saying 26 shrimp but there’s only 18 in the package.

We bought a 12 pack of walmart hot dogs and it only had 10! And their great value buns are just as bad. And don’t get me started on their toilet paper - big ripoff hidden in every pack for you.

= = =

That is metric shrimp.

Calculates to 18 US shrimp.

Also, sellers “glaze” their shrimp with water and freeze it. By repeating this glazing, you end up paying for the ice. Wriggs did a video on this and found that a 2lb bag of glazed shrimp contains 4oz of water.
