[USMA:23478] M&M's

[kilopascal]

2002-11-18   The M&M's package I mentioned the other day, but could not remember the exact size.  Well, I got another package and the label shows:   NET WT 11.0 OZ 311.9 g   I find it very difficult to believe that they are able to be package this product to such a precise weight.  I have a scale and weighed a few and the mass was between 2.5 to 3.5 g on the average.  These are the almond variety.   It sure must cost a fortune to fill a bag, trying to pick the right combination to get exactly 311.9 g.   From the Mars website,  it shows these products are sold in Europe.  Can anyone in Europe check out these products and let us know how they are packaged.  What is the size declaration on the label?   John
