After a year of doubt, I found the serving size trick on my favorite chips.

Spotting that they hide calories by using half the bag as a serving was a BIG win for me.

Wasn't there a big story about this exact trick with snack food labels last year?

Wait, that story about chip bags was insane! They make the serving size like three chips so the calories look low. Who only eats three chips? Then the sugar content is hidden in grams that nobody gets. It feels like they think we're all dumb. Just tell us the real numbers for the whole bag!

Seriously... I always just looked at the calories per serving and thought that was the whole story. Then I actually read the back of a cookie package last week and did the math for the full thing. It was like triple what I thought I was eating... totally changed how I shop now.
