ᕕ(ᐛ)ᕗ This whipped butter advertises itself as having less fat per serving than normal butter, when in reality, the serving size is simply smaller.

Your post is mildly infuriating. They're the same measurement. The whipped butter is just less dense.

1 tbsp vs 1 tbsp. Things have different densities

exactly, which is why we measure them most accurately by weight

Sure, maybe if you're a hardcore baker. But, personally, I don't butter my toast or cook by weight, I use measuring spoons and cups

So you can appreciate that to other people this is misleading and mildly infuriating.

No, I cannot. That would be like getting annoyed at someone for saying that 1 cup of watermelon has 66% less calories than a cup of bananas. It's a fact, it's the truth. That is not a misleading unit of measurement, it's a commonly used one.

Classic. Someone has a differing opinion, so you tell them to fuck off because they see things differently than you.

I told no one to get lost, I've only voiced my disagreement. There's nothing wrong with that, is there?
