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.
Someone gave me a Hello Fresh gift code. It doesn’t fully cover the large meal plan so I have the choise of paying 5 bucks extra or taking the smaller deal and leaving money in the table
You’re not leaving money on the table if you take the smaller deal. If you buy the large meal plan, you were successfully manipulated into buying something you wouldn’t have considered otherwise.
You could buy 240 containers of ricotta cheese and 60 cups of cheese that way you’ll have the exact amount you need.

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.
