There’s this chicken fried rice frozen meal that I get a lot. It says it serves 2-3 people. There’s no way that’s true. I’ll eat two of them and still be hungry
Those serving sizes are ridiculous, they divide them up smaller to try & trick people who don’t read carefully into thinking that the package is less bad for you (carbs, sugar, fats, calories) than it actually is 😤
The concept of servings should just be removed, and be replaced with a standard Nutrients per 100g (or whatever you Americans feel is equivalent. Three ounces or something, I don't know). We do nutrients per 100g in Sweden, and it's far better.

Have you considered that you're actually just 4-6 people?

Our small packaged rice says each is meant for 4 people. Bitch, I scarf that shit down like pudding in minutes on my own.
Same with any Chinese food from grocers.
Maybe I am just a fat man in a skinny body.

I've literally seen a jucebox that had 3 servings. It was a normal sized juicebox

This euro flavored meme reminded me that they renamed this character for the US to Sir Tophamm Hatt and never refer to him as the Fat Controller.

I like serving sizes when they're actually accurate, but too often companies screw the numbers to make their products seem better in some way
