Ustacould find most everything in packages of uniform unit sizes, quarts, gallons, pounds, etc.
Then they started half units, pints instead of quarts. Strawberries and blueberries were in quarts or pints. Now I see blueberries in 6 ounce packages. Corn was always priced by the dozen. Then came half dozens. Now I see it priced by the ear. Bananas, peaches oranges and apples are priced individually in some places.
Canned and jarred groceries are in 30 ounce units instead of 32, or 15 ounce instead of 16. Soups are 10-3/4 ounces. Really?
Eggs in half dozens?
Some cheeses are in 6 ounce packages or smaller. I've seen 4 ounce packages.
I'm sure y'all can come up with a whole lot more examples.
