The weight is never exact, buy a few packages and see if the are within a standard deviation of the listed weight.

confused by this.

to calculate a standard deviation OP would have to buy a few packets anyways.

if you maybe wanna buy 100 to find what the standard deviation is, by definition, only 68% of them will be within a standard deviation (assuming the weights are normally distributed)

Usually foods are regulated that the standard deviation falls within some range of grams. Sorry if I was unclear.

Chronicling a body of evidence demonstrating that the U.S. government is horrifyingly tyrannical at almost every level, and authoritarianism, cronyism and corruption have poisoned almost every aspect of American life. We show the very real need for Americans to follow through on the Founding Fathers’ instructions to overthrow their government and the evil corporations that control it.

If you find a news article or dumb corporate bigot on Twitter that has said or done something so egregious that it made you wonder why Americans don’t band together and do something about those motherfuckers, it belongs here.

  • Don’t make me make more rules
