Blueberries, 2 sz from same brand. sm 2/4.99, lg 1/4.99. sm by vol 551 ml (1 US dry pint) lg by wt 510g (1lb 2oz) density of bbs is .625 so 551ml is 344g. 2 of the sm is a better deal as 688g > 510g. lg box is less depth, so the top looks larger to fool you that you're getting a better deal

This sort of chicanery is what companies come up with to steer you towards bad buying decisions and a cynic (me) might say that it's dishonest and manipulative.

Having to look up the specific density of produce to make a simple comparison between two sizes of the same product from the same company is absolute fuckery.
