I wouldn’t actually be surprised if chocolate bars are that exact. The equipment to do it is easily available, and they would be motivated to buy it to save having even 1 extra gram in the package.
True that, especially as they shrinkflate it. A chocolate bar is usually 50-60g these days. Used to be 71g as I was a kid. Gee I wonder where that number came from…
I’ve heard that one of the reasons that metrification didn’t take off in the States was that when they converted highway signs, they rounded down instead of up, so people got mad at “losing” a couple km/h. Tactical error, there.
You really recognize these weirdly precise numbers in packaging.
355ml. 454g. 25.4mm.
Yeah, suuuuure your chocolate bar is precise to 3 sig figs…
