Who was the guy who decided that a can of Pringles potato chips contained 6 servings. Who are we kidding. I might be able to call it 3 servings if I counted the 4 chips that my dogs shared. Please, that can didn't take the 15 minutes it took to finish off my dinner of Cajun Rice with Sausage.That's why I typically don't buy these items while shopping. I realized a l0ong time ago that I have absolutely no ability to control the portions that I eat. A pack of Oreos should easily last over a week if you follow along with the serving guidelines. I am not sure, but I believe, that 10 Oreos with milk is not a single serving. Does it still count as one serving if you go back for more cookies and use the same glass of milk.
