The per 100g price makes it seem like the 1kg (bottom) item is cheaper than the 2kg one.

I wonder how many people are baited into getting the more expensive item (by weight).

    What happened there? These are presumably calculated automatically, so does the second item has its mass listed as 2kg?

      What happened? We live in corporate dictatorships where oligarchs can false advertise, price gouge, kick your dog, and fuck your wife… and your only recourse is a class action lawsuit where you make a few bucks after a decade.

          The same dystopian enshittification is going on pretty much everywhere, you just aren’t aware of it yet.

      I’ve been noticing bad math in the Uber driver app lately.

      There have been a few times it tells me my ETA is 12 minutes but I’m 16 miles away. Like I know it doesn’t think I’m gonna be doing these residential streets at 90 mph

        Afaik that’s deliberate to force the driver to get to the destination asap at all costs, but also to lie to the customer that their ride is just a few minutes away so there’s no need to cancel or look for alternatives.

        Even in the detailed info? If so that’s weird; probably something along the lines of “the seller messed up the weight, fixed it, but for some insane reason the site doesn’t recalculate the price”.

        Second is scam by 2 for 12$ but 35c(lol?) per 100g. = 3,50 per 1kg = 7 for 2kg… So 6.97 for 1 kg by 35ct per 100g. Wtf?
