typical kinda like buy pack bacon states a pound but when did 14 ounces become a pound go figure

That crap pisses me off. They call it a "weight out" to keep a certain retail price while maintaining margin. Why not just raise the damned price moron?

Yeah....YEAH!!!!!....That's the ticket! It's like getting 50% MORE than the package indicates! Genius!

Sad part about it is most of the people who buy it will never catch the error.

Metric is wrong too. Now somebody’s got to unroll the whole thing to see what is actually in there.

LOL! I do that with random weight items from Kroger. I'll take the chicken out of the package and weigh it to see the "net weight". It's always 20 - 30% LOWER than indicated on the packaging.
