So for laughs we weighed the tuna from the cans. First we opened the cans, then we drained the water, then we weighed the contents.

5oz can had 3.5 oz of tuna
6oz cans had 4 oz of tuna.

 

interesting, sounds like something a stoner hippie back in the day would do


and your breaking out the digi scale?!?!?

 

what were the price difference and what brand tuna?

 

who the heck buys "cans" of tuna anymore

 

Why would you think to do this, is my question?

 

^Barbara niticed that some cans were now only 5oz while others were 6oz. When she opened three cans from the differnt brands, she felt the difference in the volume of contents was very noticeable between the two 6oz brands and that the 5oz can didn't look much smaller at all. So I said, "let's find out."

 

Wild night at the house again, eh?

I've noticed the box of Cheerios now has 14 oz., it use to have 15. Same price, I'm sure.

 

Be honest Bill you had that digi scale out due to the other thread and you wanted to see if it still works


JUST KIDDING


Actually has anyone ever read the label on a tuna can says net weight, that means weight after draining.

I tuna

 

Maybe it means net of the can.

 

Net Weight

The weight of goods being shipped that does not include the weight of wrapping material, container, or other packaging.

In this case I would assume water is other packaging
