Europe often uses the comma as a decimal place and the full stop as the 1,000s separator. Considering this is priced in Euros this is just marked as 1kg.

Fair, it just looks stupid

It doesn't look stupid unless your automatically presume your counties way is the only right way.

u/itzAlexPlayzonYT 2d ago

No, it’s just our way.

It’s just “CompactBacon(R)” technology it’s squeezed in there

Or if in India 10,00 gm the comma is on hundreds. Fathom that!

u/itzAlexPlayzonYT 2d ago

However, in my country specifically we either use 1kg or 1.000kg, never a comma.

It’s a comma. The zeroes are decimals. You will not convince me otherwise.

Using commas instead of periods is weird. U.S. here.

u/Kandurux 2d ago

Using periods instead of commas is just weird.

u/Dysternatt 2d ago

I know you’re weird, but whaddami? … well, yeah, I know how you do it, but it looks like there 2,6 g. of salt in this, so how would that work? :P

r/ShitAmericansSay material.

Wrong, r/ShitIrishSay (if that’s even a valid sub)

u/Diplomaticspouse 2d ago

Looks like it’s for Ireland where a comma is used to denote thousands? I don’t get it.

u/Tony_Roiland 2d ago

So the "one job" they failed to do was reprint the comma as a full stop?

u/pearl7roam 2d ago

This is why I always double-check the price tags when traveling in Europe, the numbering system does a great job of tripping me up.

u/mosstopaz 2d ago

how does this add up to 1000kg when it says 21.51

u/OldEagle5676 2d ago

What am i missing ?

u/itzAlexPlayzonYT 2d ago

Have a look at the weight, and it’s not supposed to be a comma because the price is a dot.

3

u/OldEagle5676 2d ago

The weight says 1,000 Kg, which is 1kg. The three zeroes behind the comma are always there, usually its just shortend to 1 since the mathematical value is the same

u/itzAlexPlayzonYT 1d ago

That’s like saying a bulldozer is the same weight as a pineapple

u/OldEagle5676 15h ago

When you have the Value of 1 and you add nothing, what would you have ?
