And the price per kilo written so small I need my glasses to decipher it.
And multiple different unit prices across brands. It's easy when one product uses per kilo while another uses per 100g, but it's more annoying in the US when one product shows unit pricing per pound while another shows it per ounce.
Came here to say this! At least if it was metric it'd be an easy conversion. But america still clings to it's stupid units and I end up just not buying stuff rather than trying to do math in my head a hundred times in the grocery store.
Another European easy win π
So do you hunt and forage your food then?
(Good natured sarcasm π)
I'm grateful that US food/drink packaging at least has both American units and metric units. I'm an Australian living in the USA so I always just look at the metric units.
Also when print on extremely faint letters.
If itβs not significantly smaller than the cost it becomes confusing though.
