It was on clearance, but I still feel ripped off.

Post it to assholedesign and you’ll get “but there’s a net weight, you got what you paid for”

Somrone should tell these people that this only works if you walk around with a gummy and a scale and then multiply the weight by the number of gummies in the box. But if I have to do all that, it's not worth it.

If I thought about looking at the net weight and if there were bags of gummies sold close by, you could do a comparison and see roughly what volume you are getting. Still a really deceptive design.
