It’s not something I usually pay particular attention to in terms of value but it occurs to me that the difference between the 2 in the standard sizes they are sold, is not negligible. While some tins/pouches are sold in other nominal sizes such as 40g, 1.5 oz, etc, the vast majority are sold in 2oz or 50g units which we mostly treat as equivalent. You might pay the same for a 2oz tin as a 50g tin which at 1.75oz contains about 12.5% less. 50g tins contain 2-3 less bowls worth and while 8-2oz tins equal 1 pound, it takes 9-50g tins to get to the same point. The other side of the equation is that sometimes 250g and 500g units are better values than their 8oz (225g) and 16oz (450g) counterparts.
I realize it’s not earth shattering news and it’s probably not going to change my purchasing habits but it is nice to keep in mind when thinking about spending and value.
