Comments on: Unit Comparison http://threesixty360.wordpress.com/2009/05/07/unit-comparison/ 12 tables, 24 chairs, and plenty of chalk Thu, 30 May 2013 02:26:42 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Brandon Dilbeck http://threesixty360.wordpress.com/2009/05/07/unit-comparison/#comment-12143 Wed, 11 Jan 2012 03:41:29 +0000 http://threesixty360.wordpress.com/?p=2348#comment-12143 I noticed this at my Safeway with toothpaste, as I wrote in my blog: http://brandonnotices.blogspot.com/2009/02/unit-price-perplexity.html.

They had the price per ounce on some and the price per pound on others. But—here’s the crazy bit—they also had the price “per 100.” That’s it, per hundred, with no units. I had to figure out that it actually meant “per 100 ounces,” which seemed like a silly unit of measurement.

I’ll be on the lookout for that. Good catch.
