That I can at least understand. But imagine if cereal was advertised the same way as download speeds. "up to 16 oz per box"

- koolba 3y agoMore like they sell you an oversized spoon, claim it can scoop 1 cup per minute, in reality it’s 1/4 cup per minute, and if you actually refill your bowl with said spoon, they say you’re using too much cereal.
- orangepurple 3y agoHave you handled the boxes recently? They are more than 50% air by volume.
- AlexandrB 3y agoThat's why they're generally sold by weight.
- aidenn0 3y agoBut if you buy a 16oz box for $3 you actually get a pound of cereal for $3. Compare: "Up to 16oz for $3*" There's a $0.75 fee to pay for the new box art, a $1 fee for renting the milk jug, you actually get 14oz of cereal if you eat during peak hours, and if you eat a second bowl on the same day they charge you for excessive usage.
- brewdad 3y agoTrue but while the box is the same size as when it was 20oz, at least if they say 12oz there's 12oz in there.
