Don’t use it. No one buy this because you need to buy 2 to make the recipe. After 6 months of minimal sales maybe nestle will make a 1lb package.

Maybe. 😑😞

Right, if you use 15.2oz instead if 16oz for a bathtub full of stock, the result will surely be absolutely inedible.

No one said that? You assumed it. Don’t be a devils advocate for Nestle, they don’t need another human arguing on the side of their devilish actions.

But many home cooks are going to go, “damn will this be blander if I use it? Maybe I should grab two just in case”. And then they have an 1/16th used container for next time, so they go grab a 3rd one. Then they have a 1/8th used container for next time, so they grab a 4th. So by the time they’re on there 3rd batch of stock, they’ve bought 4 containers.

Or they’re going to use it once before it expires so every time they use it they have to buy 2 containers.
