I discovered yesterday that they no longer sell 16 ounce containers of ricotta cheese. They’re all now 15oz or 30oz. So if you have a recipe that needs four cups of cheese you have to either adjust the rest of the recipe down or deal with having a 1/4 cup less cheese than you really need.
Fuck capitalism.
This is literally “buying gems” in free to play games never amounting to the cost of a typical item, slightly under or over.
You could buy 240 containers of ricotta cheese and 60 cups of cheese that way you’ll have the exact amount you need.
This is the Hebrew National 7 hot dog to 8 hot dog bun pack solution.
That’s a lot of lasagna…
No, that’s a prospective hustle that pays for your habit.
I mean, the Garfield movie did just come out so there’s gonna be demand.
Plus it’s a good holiday meal you can keep in the freezer and reheat when you have company.
They’re doing the same thing with sauces and broths. Assholes.
I’m an old and remember when smoked sausages were a pound. Then 14oz. Now 12oz.
You can always just have more or less cheese in the recipe. Or use the leftover cheese for something else later.
I’m not defending capitalism here, just defending cheese.
less cheese leftover cheese
I see those words but I don‘t understand any of them

The good old hot dog dilemma.
sexy
sexy.
Wouldn’t using that pre shredded stuff not be good for recipes though because of the added anti-clumpimg agents though?
Ricotta isn’t a block cheese that you can buy pre-shredded like cheddar. It’s a pretty wet cheese and is usually sold in tubs in your basic markets, kind of like cottage cheese.
Lmao oh yeah hahah now I remember it XD
I’ve made obscene amounts of home make macaroni and cheese over the last 20+ years and haven’t had a problem with it. I know it’s a funny place some people get passionate about, but the “anti-clumping agents” are typically some form of vegetable starch or fiber. If I’m making a cheese sauce I’m already using flour to help thicken and stabilize it anyway, so I don’t think the trace amounts really matter.
I’ve made obscene amounts of frozen Mac and cheese and that’s it. Thank you!
It matters more, in my opinion, for stuff like pizza because there isn’t already flour. The melting is noticeably different between shredded mozz and a block of low-moisture you cut or shredded yourself. But for cheese sauces and stuff I agree there isn’t really a difference
Fluid ounces or ounces?
Fluid ounces
Make your own with whole milk and vinegar/lemon juice.
Edit: downvotes from scaredycats who think cheese grows on trees
that makes buttermilk
No, it makes acid-set cheese, of which ricotta is a type. Buttermilk is the liquid leftover after you make butter.
That’s basically the process for making paneer, plus draining and pressing.
Queso fresco, too. It’s all the same cheese, just different levels of moisture!
You can sorta make cheese with just acid but yeah rennet or a rennet replacement is the way to go
This is why we need an ISO Toilet Paper Standard.
There are several:
- DIN EN ISO 12 625-4: 2005 (Dry tear resistance and perforation resistance)
- DIN EN ISO 12 625-5:2005 (wet tear resistance)
- DIN EN ISO 12 625 -9:2005 (Puncture resistance)
- DIN EN ISO 12 625-3:2005 (Paper thickness in use)
- EN ISO 12 625-8:2004 (Water retention capacity)
Yet there seems to be no standard for the size or number of sheets in a roll.
Nah, ISO fucks and I fuck with ISO
hmm, this is more like realizing your preferred language doesn’t have a word for a thing and deciding you want one.
Or just buy a bidet spray. Simple to install, no waste of paper and you can control the angle without having to touch the crevices.
I like my bidet, but I have no interest in letting my labia drip-dry so I will continue to buy toilet paper thank you.
You don’t have a hair dryer in your bathroom? /S
1 mega plus = 4.5
1 “roll” =4.55555556
1 double plus = 2.26666667
1 super mega = 6.Sorry for formatting I’m on mobile
Double space (at the end of the line) = line break
Easy, regardless of the device you are using.
Hmm, doesn’t seem to be working. Might be specific on the apps maybe
All these brands talking about how much length of tp there is, but they’re cutting the width. So now tp rolls are stumpy and small
Just floss your cheeks, bro.
I call shenanigans. I haven’t even seen SpongeBob (it came out when I was in highschool/college) and I’m pretty sure that Mr. Krabs loves money too much to ever defile it like that. Or is that not an extra stretchy bill?
wdym lol he did that regularly in the early seasons
Like I said I never saw the show. I guess bikini bottom money is rubber
Bro, rolls are TINY now. They used to fill up the width of my holder, and now they fill up less than 60%. They’ve just cut off 40% of the product lol.
Hmm is the average toilet paper roll empty?
If you account for all rolls that ever existed, it’s pretty close to empty
It’s just meaningless marketing.
I usually just buy half a roll or so at a time from the guy behind the mcdonalds drive through.
This is why you always have to show your units!
I can show you my unit ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
C’mere
Hey nowwww
Hey nowwww🎶
You’re an all star
We need a new metric standard. Introducing the 💩.
112.6 standard rolls = 1k💩
Doesn’t the price tag on the shelf usually have a break down per sheet or sqft?
Even if it doesn’t, all these packages have the total area listed somewhere on the package. If the $/area isn’t listed on the price tag, you can still calculate it manually.
Who do you think I am? Einstein??
Yeah. I just look at the price and how many layers (i.e. 2 ply, 3 ply) there are, and decide from there.
Bidet
What does this even mean, I buy them separately
It means they either roll it more tightly (more layers per inch) or they make the roll bigger (hope it still fits your roll holder) to stuff more paper on each roll. So they are advertising the package as “72 regular rolls” when it’s only 12 physical rolls.
I normally buy Charmin ultra soft at Costco.
I was at target and we were low, so just grabbed some there.
Turns out the rolls (cardboard tube and all) were like an inch less wide. For some reason that extra inch makes me comfortable, and I’ve been so angry at the Target rolls while I try to use them up. I have big hands… this kind of shrinkflation can get messy.
As gemers nexus put it “Bigger number better”
12 units of imperialism. Use metric.
