I discovered yesterday that they no longer sell 16 ounce containers of ricotta cheese. They're all now 15oz or 30oz. So if you have a recipe that needs four cups of cheese you have to either adjust the rest of the recipe down or deal with having a 1/4 cup less cheese than you really need.
Fuck capitalism.
This is literally "buying gems" in free to play games never amounting to the cost of a typical item, slightly under or over.
They're doing the same thing with sauces and broths. Assholes.
I’m an old and remember when smoked sausages were a pound. Then 14oz. Now 12oz.
You can always just have more or less cheese in the recipe. Or use the leftover cheese for something else later.
I'm not defending capitalism here, just defending cheese.
less cheese leftover cheese
I see those words but I don‘t understand any of them

Wouldn't using that pre shredded stuff not be good for recipes though because of the added anti-clumpimg agents though?
I've made obscene amounts of home make macaroni and cheese over the last 20+ years and haven't had a problem with it. I know it's a funny place some people get passionate about, but the "anti-clumping agents" are typically some form of vegetable starch or fiber. If I'm making a cheese sauce I'm already using flour to help thicken and stabilize it anyway, so I don't think the trace amounts really matter.
Fluid ounces or ounces?

This is why we need an ISO Toilet Paper Standard.
There are several:
- DIN EN ISO 12 625-4: 2005 (Dry tear resistance and perforation resistance)
- DIN EN ISO 12 625-5:2005 (wet tear resistance)
- DIN EN ISO 12 625 -9:2005 (Puncture resistance)
- DIN EN ISO 12 625-3:2005 (Paper thickness in use)
- EN ISO 12 625-8:2004 (Water retention capacity)
Yet there seems to be no standard for the size or number of sheets in a roll.
Or just buy a bidet spray. Simple to install, no waste of paper and you can control the angle without having to touch the crevices.
1 mega plus = 4.5
1 “roll” =4.55555556
1 double plus = 2.26666667
1 super mega = 6.Sorry for formatting I’m on mobile
Double space (at the end of the line) = line break
Easy, regardless of the device you are using.
Hmm, doesn’t seem to be working. Might be specific on the apps maybe
Hmm is the average toilet paper roll empty?
If you account for all rolls that ever existed, it's pretty close to empty
It usually says price per total area, but this whole thing is why I just buy the recycled ones. If someone's going to cheat me it may as well be for a good cause.
Yeah but then the store uses different measurements on all the price tags so you need a fuckin calculator to actually compare them.
Just pick the ply you want and look at the sq.ft. of the roll. Odds are you want the most length per roll.
Paper towel crowd is just as evil.
Toilet paper is just small paper towels that don't scratch your butt
Now splinter free!
I usually just buy half a roll or so at a time from the guy behind the mcdonalds drive through.

We need a new metric standard. Introducing the 💩.
112.6 standard rolls = 1k💩
Doesn't the price tag on the shelf usually have a break down per sheet or sqft?
Even if it doesn't, all these packages have the total area listed somewhere on the package. If the $/area isn't listed on the price tag, you can still calculate it manually.
Who do you think I am? Einstein??
Yeah. I just look at the price and how many layers (i.e. 2 ply, 3 ply) there are, and decide from there.
What does this even mean, I buy them separately
It means they either roll it more tightly (more layers per inch) or they make the roll bigger (hope it still fits your roll holder) to stuff more paper on each roll. So they are advertising the package as "72 regular rolls" when it's only 12 physical rolls.
I normally buy Charmin ultra soft at Costco.
I was at target and we were low, so just grabbed some there.
Turns out the rolls (cardboard tube and all) were like an inch less wide. For some reason that extra inch makes me comfortable, and I've been so angry at the Target rolls while I try to use them up. I have big hands.. this kind of shrinkflation can get messy.
As gemers nexus put it "Bigger number better"
12 units of imperialism. Use metric.
As much as I hate paper products check the total square footage and weight vrs price to help make your decision. It's literally on the package.
The only question that really matters for toilet paper is "texture". If you have to start worrying about how much you're spending on toilet paper get a bidet and a better diet.
No. I had all the links from the beginning.
I find it scary that some people are afraid to do simple arithmetic and the most basic geometry...
Do you not see the made up measurements?
- Mega Plus
- Rolls
- Double Plus
- Super Mega
- Regular
You'd have to sit there for 8 minutes converting all of the "measurements", figure out how much is in each package, and then only after doing it for all rolls and brands, you'll be able to compare.
Easy math, but takes time. No one said it's hard. It's just time consuming.
There is no standard roll of toilet paper so it's impossible to compare that way between brands. That's why everyone says to look at how many square feet are in the package.
