This is why other counties like Australia also give you the amount of calories per 100 grams.

how does that work for stuff like a stick of gum? because a normal stick is like 2-3 grams, and i have a hard time contextualizing eating like 30-50 sticks of gum.

They should make the serving sizes reasonable servings.

You shouldn't be able to sell a "snack size" bag of chips and have a serving size be half the bag.

Bagel Bites have a serving size of 4 bagel bites. They're called bagel bites because you could reasonably eat them in one bite.

4 bagel bites is one serving. The heating instructions tell you to heat up one box/tray, about the size of any other frozen lunch tray.

Do you know how many Bagel Bites come on one tray?

>!9.!<..am I supposed to eat my one serving, give a second serving to my partner, and then save one Bagel Bite from 4 different meals to get one bonus serving later??

The nutrition label has both what a single serving is and what 100g of the food in question would be. You can find the label for Eclipse mint chews here.

Did you know that standing in line for 45 minutes would probably maybe not even burn off the calories in a stick of carefree gum. I mean, standing in line for forty five minutes is hardly aerobically effective.

It basically gives you the percentage composition of the food: for example if gum has 50 g of sugar per 100 g, it means that half of each gum you eat is sugar
