Which tells me exactly as much about the contents as picking it up would: almost nothing.
There’s always one of you in the unnecessary pack fill discussions and I have to ask, do you really know the difference between 12oz of candy, and 10oz? And can you point out the weight on this packaging for me?
You don’t go on just weight alone, that doesn’t tell you much of anything. You need weight and price.
For me personally, it’s a hell of a lot easier to see how far your money is actually going when you keep track of the price per oz vs just watching the total price since they change price and size pretty regularly.
The type of packaging is not regulated by shape or size. I am not making the claim packaging shouldn’t be regulated, just that comparing weight and price ratios will help you not be tricked by this.
Then why would seeing the product mean anything? The whole point of seeing the weight is to compare it the price to see if you are being manipulated. Going on vibes is not going to protect you from that.

The weight is on the back. The price sign on the shelf includes €/kg.
I don’t really know how much 2oz is. But since the laws are loosen to allow weird weights I look for €/kg anyway.

They’ll just make the tray heavier 🤔
They can, but it wouldn’t matter. The weight on the packaging is the weight of the product in the package, not the package itself.
That would be fraud. There are legal requirements for this.
C’mon man, you’re almost there. Make one more connection

Oh, so that’s the problem. You don’t understand the point of the conversation
I guess I have, I thought this post was criticizing the deceptive packaging.
Yes, and criticizing is not the same as ‘getting tricked by’
Is packaging material actually cheaper by weight than candy?
