And they owe me two slices.
Realised I had the u/Baconsyrop maasdam in my fridge and to my disappointment I’m making a post about it. Eight slices indeed (labelled as 10; photo crops the packet). I am enjoying my 13.4g cheese profit.
Also, tangentially related, grapes are incredible right now. These are Mildura-grown Autumn Crisp from a fancy grocer and prohibitively $$ hence tiny bunch. Wine aside, could this be my best grape experience to date?

Do you think the package is made of cheese or weightless???
Pretty sure that packet weighs 13.4g. Sorry.
See that “E” next to the weight? It means Average Quantity System , basically a European system that pretty much means they kinda eyeballed the size.
“Sometimes may be good, sometimes may be shit”.
My first thought when I saw that cheese packet was “ffs, again!?”
Someone please just ban OOP from ALDI.
Also, here is a video explaining the e-symbol and how those grams give or take are within the parameters: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5tD2bEzihY8](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5tD2bEzihY8)

Weird how good this made me feel even for just a second.
See that big e symbol?
The estimated symbol (℮, Unicode U+212E) is a stylized, calligraphic lowercase “e” used on packaging in the European Union, UK, South Africa, and Australia to signify that the product complies with legal average weight or volume requirements. It assures consumers the manufacturer met specific packing tolerances.
However, there is an inbuilt “acceptable tolerance” of ~3% variability. So food under the system has a 97.5 per cent assurance that the volume in the packet will match the label.
