During the previous round of shirkflation I warned people about knowing what year a recipe was from because "a can" means something different in 2004 than in 2010. And now it means something different again in 2025.

Now boxes are getting the shrink treatment too.

If you're going to use ounces you either make the result divisible by 4 or you use fucking metric. 10 in ounces defeats the entire point of 16 ounces in a pound. Fucking 5/8ths of a pound. Great unit of sale, very useful.

    At least if I bought the 20 ounce bag, that's divisible by 4, and taking out 12, leaves 8... but still...

    Baking shouldn't start with a Tower of Hanoi puzzle.
