"serves two"

[mrsfran]

Sometimes, I slice the larger 'end' piece into a proper slice and steal some of the butter from the rest of the bread to put in it, thus making an 8-slice garlic baguette.

((((Crispy))))

Garlic bread comes sliced into 7. 7? It's a prime number you fucking cunts! Can't be divided up!

unless there's seven of you...

 

[quimcunx]

unless there's seven of you...

Or 3½ of you.

Or 21 of you and every third person gets one.

It don't think Crispy has thought it through.

Brilliant.

...but most baguette-style garlic bread is sliced into nine! *reports crispy for eating 2 pieces in the kitchen*

I can see the point with the beans thing, the beans can be used as part of a larger meal, but I just had a can of cream of chicken soup which was supposedly two servings. I consider that harder to defend.

It was horrible too, really watery, I had to fill the bowl full of hot sauce and bread. Next time I'll just use some stock cubes. I'm sure cream of chicken soup used to actually be creamy and taste of chicken.

Only if you count the end crusty bits.

Still, 9 only divides into 3.

In a family of four, my childhood was scarred by "who gets the extra slice" arguments.

The cook obviously, or you can say the dog ate it. If you don't have a dog you can say you threw the remnants to the birdies

You got garlic bread as a child? posh.



The only 'fancy' chocolate biscuits we ever got were penguins or viscounts, because they came in packs of 6, not 5.

God damn my little sister!

Idiot The trick is to eat one slice whilst serving up dinner in kitchen. Take plates out with equal amounts of bread on whilst remembering to keep your gob shut

I do that

The other day I bought a large-size Korean "pot noodle" - 490Kcals.
The "refill I just made in the same pot - which is supposed to be made in a saucepan is the same amount of ingredients, but is described as "2 servings".
I feel certain the version that came in a pot wasn't intended to be shared by two people ...

As for beans - yep - sometimes a standard can is too large - when added to "several portions" of instant mash and a can of sardines ...

 

[geminisnake]

I hate those, you end up buying two of something cus one aint gonna be enough, then you have enough bloody food for three people.

This works well for us though coz there's 3 of us in the house. Two bags of that chinese stir fry muck and some frozen veg - sorted for a quick tea.

Agree with VP about cakes though. Serves 4/8 usually does me and boy
