one with a creamy corn sauce

With sauteed mushrooms!!

I saw the same type of thing on a 20oz or 1ltr diet Mtn Dew. Serving was either 8 or 12 oz and had 0 cal but container was > 0 cal. They round so serving rounds down to 0 because less than .5 but container rounds to non-zero.

What was the size of this package. I’m guessing around 227g?

Yep. 8oz.

but then the store makes the unit pricing on a 12 pack of 12oz cans or a 6 pack of half ltr or 20oz bottles per each.

That makes sense I would expect the plastic or aluminum to have a bit of calorie content.

As long as it’s organic free-range aluminum

From a CBS Sports article on Bill Belichick at the ACC meetings:

“Frank Reich faced Belichick twice in the NFL, going 1-2.”

More about Innumeracy than an actual example of Innumeracy.

I like his Venn Diagrams too.

Clearly not innumeracy at all, but a follow-up from my last post here, thought you might like the funny conclusion he arrives at.

I just now realized, from a look at the syllables, that “innumeracy” is the math version of “illiteracy.” :woozy_face:

I saved tax for two nights ($36) after changing the reservation from three nights and suddenly their website is displaying the correct tax!

Seemed like an appropriate place for this, even though apocryphal

I’s a testament to Queens traffic that flying from LGA to JFK is something worth considering. :slight_smile:
