That’s always been my biggest irritation with “serving sizes”! “Fill” a plate with the correct “serving sizes” & it looks like what you give your toddler, not eat yourself.
I’m with her. The only reason to notice the serving size is when I’m trying to gauge the safe level of sugar intake. It doesn’t show up here ever but I bet Mrs. Olsen does the same thing at times.
The struggle is real people. I know a woman who gained a lot of weight because of the ‘super size’ trend. If she could get more for ‘cheap’.. Filling a hole we aren’t even aware of.
There was a time when makers of some kind of soft drink (can’t remember which one) claimed there were 2 servings in a 12-ounce can — obviously to make you think you weren’t getting very many calories per serving! Eventually some government agency told them to get real, so now 1 can = 1 serving. But things that don’t come in such obvious packages still have the ability to specify serving sizes according to the manufacturer’s whim.

I never check the serving size. It just ruins the whole experience.

I never read the serving size, so there is no guilt.

Serving size. My mother used to say, “Who are they serving, a bird?”

I didn’t know that about Thin Mints, …
… but it seems like a box of Samoas has only two servings
… and I believe the serving size of Ritz crackers is a full sleeve.

The serving size is inversely proportional to how much you’d enjoy it.

Girl Scout Cookies. Cookies that are just as good as that wonderful organization. I salute the Girl Scouts.

This is why Americans are obese. Our serving sizes are outrageous because they are packed with sugar and carbs!

“So what I want to know is, when I’m asleep, do I really remember how to fly? And forget how when I wake up? Or am I just dreaming I can fly?"
“When you dream, sometimes you remember. When you wake, you always forget.”
“But that’s not fair!”
“No.“

The Serving Size is not really a serving size. Never has been.
