about servings

May 25, 2009 18:40

I was reading the back of the box that my dinner came in (yes, yes, I know. Microwave dinners: bad, sad yosnowden. Whatever). It said "Serving size: two samosas. Servings per container: about three." This struck me as odd, since samosas are pretty much quantized, by which I mean it's possible to get half a samosa, but it wouldn't be very appetizing if it came out of the box like that. Then I thought they were being sneaky and only putting five samosas in the box and rounding 2.5 servings into "about three" or being generous and putting in seven. But there were six samosas total, and thus exactly three servings. Maybe it's a legal thing.
I ate all three servings myself by the way. They were very tasty.
