‘Serving sizes’ are absolute nonsense. They are always wildly out of step with reality. Only reason they put it on there is so manufacturers can claim “our product isn’t bad, it only contains X calories per serving”.
Meanwhile, they put serving sizes fit for ants on packages that clearly aren’t meant to be shared and don’t reflect reasonable consumption. For example, a serving size of three jelly beans is silly by any stretch of the imagination. So is putting ‘serving sizes’ on a soda can. And a sleeve of Oreos? One cookie is a serving. Yeah, we all know that’s not how you eat Oreos…
I work in a sandwich place that sells fairly large chocolate chip cookies. The bags we put them in are labeled as containing 4 servings. Buncha nonsense.
Absolutely insane. Sure, large cookie, but I've never seen anyone go "okay I will slice up this cookie and eat only a fourth" also that's how your make a cookie go stale faster! These manufacturers are cruel.
I have, but only with thc edibles..
Okay, yes, that's fair. My sibling cuts their gummies into fourths even.
But a completely unadultered cookie?? Jam that entire thing into my mouth!
Hell yeah, my highschool used to have super soft undercooked cookies the size of a plate. They came on a paper plate wrapped in plastic (made in house).
They didn’t bother trying to pretend that was more than one serving. Nobody did :)
And only before November 5th 2024. Now I scarf handfuls of those babies down until I pass out.
