I discovered yesterday that they no longer sell 16 ounce containers of ricotta cheese. They're all now 15oz or 30oz. So if you have a recipe that needs four cups of cheese you have to either adjust the rest of the recipe down or deal with having a 1/4 cup less cheese than you really need.
Fuck capitalism.
This is literally "buying gems" in free to play games never amounting to the cost of a typical item, slightly under or over.
Someone gave me a Hello Fresh gift code. It doesn't fully cover the large meal plan so I have the choise of paying 5 bucks extra or taking the smaller deal and leaving money in the table
Ask them to refund the rest
You're not leaving money on the table if you take the smaller deal. If you buy the large meal plan, you were successfully manipulated into buying something you wouldn't have considered otherwise.
You could buy 240 containers of ricotta cheese and 60 cups of cheese that way you'll have the exact amount you need.
This is the Hebrew National 7 hot dog to 8 hot dog bun pack solution.
That's a lot of lasagna...
They're doing the same thing with sauces and broths. Assholes.
I’m an old and remember when smoked sausages were a pound. Then 14oz. Now 12oz.
You can always just have more or less cheese in the recipe. Or use the leftover cheese for something else later.
I'm not defending capitalism here, just defending cheese.
less cheese leftover cheese
I see those words but I don‘t understand any of them
This is why we need an ISO Toilet Paper Standard.
There are several:
Yet there seems to be no standard for the size or number of sheets in a roll.
Nah, ISO fucks and I fuck with ISO
hmm, this is more like realizing your preferred language doesn't have a word for a thing and deciding you want one.
1 mega plus = 4.5
1 “roll” =4.55555556
1 double plus = 2.26666667
1 super mega = 6.
Sorry for formatting I’m on mobile
Double space (at the end of the line) = line break
Easy, regardless of the device you are using.
Hmm, doesn’t seem to be working. Might be specific on the apps maybe
All these brands talking about how much length of tp there is, but they're cutting the width. So now tp rolls are stumpy and small
Hmm is the average toilet paper roll empty?
If you account for all rolls that ever existed, it's pretty close to empty
It usually says price per total area, but this whole thing is why I just buy the recycled ones. If someone's going to cheat me it may as well be for a good cause.
Yeah but then the store uses different measurements on all the price tags so you need a fuckin calculator to actually compare them.
It's just meaningless marketing.
I usually just buy half a roll or so at a time from the guy behind the mcdonalds drive through.
Just pick the ply you want and look at the sq.ft. of the roll. Odds are you want the most length per roll.
We need a new metric standard. Introducing the 💩.
112.6 standard rolls = 1k💩
This is why you always have to show your units!
Doesn't the price tag on the shelf usually have a break down per sheet or sqft?
Even if it doesn't, all these packages have the total area listed somewhere on the package. If the $/area isn't listed on the price tag, you can still calculate it manually.

What does this even mean, I buy them separately
It means they either roll it more tightly (more layers per inch) or they make the roll bigger (hope it still fits your roll holder) to stuff more paper on each roll. So they are advertising the package as "72 regular rolls" when it's only 12 physical rolls.
