    Also, did you verify the accuracy of your scale with certified weights?

    Actually, yes, kinda. The 100 gram test weight that came with my powder scale shows 100 grams. I don't have any certificate of accuracy for it.

    The box is 1.1 ounces.

    The discrepancy is hardly surprising but it's so large that it had to have been known, and thus fraudulent. Too bad there isn't a good trial lawyer here with an investigative staff tied to national media to do battle for for eddiememphis and so many others ripped off by package shrinkage and fraudulent labeling.

    Packaging is very often ten to a hundred times or more of the cost of the goods inside. It's a solid argument for bulk buying.

    You think I have a case? I gonna call Hank Azar!

    I'll sue for the $1.35 I spent on the product and an additional $100 million for pain and suffering. I'll share it with you guys since you are the ones that actually suffer through my nonsensical posts.

    Let's all go buy this same pasta, weigh it and light them up online if they're all short.
