I’m guessing there must be some US requirement for this otherwise I’m not sure why it’s commonplace.

- ericpauley 3y ago> I imagine barely anyone actually shops that way. This feels so foreign to me; I largely ignore the overall price and shop by unit prices within a reasonable size range.
- belval 3y agoI think the commenter you are responding to does not have enough faith in humanity. Most people I know (anecdotal and biased sampling I know) do check that number when shopping, especially for interchangeable items that don't have a well-know brand such as flour or baking powder.
