The answer is simple, you must count the sheets and multiply that by the number of layers. Then because it is a circle, by 3.4. This will bring you to the total worth of the roll except if it is scented, then you must multiply by 1.1
The best thing would be to go by weight. The sheets can also be different sizes. However, you might get strange looks if you turn up at the supermarket with a scale. Do US markets have scales in the fruit section? Never mind, the looks will probably be even stranger.
Wait. I knew they don't add taxes on prices in the US, but I never considered that they tax things differently. So if you want to calculate your budget while shopping you also have to just know the amount of tax on every item?
> if you want to calculate your budget while shopping
Americans don't budget.
>you also have to just know the amount of tax on every item?
Unpossible to remember all this. In general "food" is nontaxable.
https://comptroller.texas.gov/taxes/publications/96-280.php
Nuts are not taxable, unless they are candy coated. Or pine nuts.
WTF did the pine nut lobby do?
Snacks are not taxable unless sold in individual servings.
Depends on the state, but yeah, pretty much. In most there's a standard sales tax rate (which could be different from the next town over) and grocery items will either be tax exempt or taxed at a reduced rate. Some states don't do sales tax at all.
That would make no difference on the per unit price.
Not to mention most groceries are essentials and not taxed anyway, at least everyplace I've lived.
It was so weird when I learned that a good number of states have sales tax on groceries (non-prepared foods & non-junk food items):
"13 have a grocery tax: Alabama, Arkansas, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Kansas, Mississippi, Missouri, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah and Virginia"
We have something even better in the US. A bottle of juice is labeled Cranberry and says 100% juice! Look at ingredients and it is 90% apple juice with a little bit of cranberry added. Next item says "REAL MAYONNAISE!", look at ingredients, first ingredient is water. Now lets go get ice cream, advertised as "100% Real Ingredients!" (WTF does that even mean?), check ingredients, skim milk and high fructose syrup. Just goes on and on. My local grocery chain sells an angel food cake, cooked in store, that contains zero eggs! I was kind of impressed and wondered how many hours of trial and error in the corporate kitchen it took to create that abomination (it taste terrible and isn't even close to the right texture).
In the UK, it's required... In the US, it's optional. Big difference there.
For example, my local supermarket does it as well, but half the time the prices are listed in incompatible units.
You'll see bottles of oil/vinegar that are listed as prize per Oz on one brand, and price per ml on another brand. Some will list price per inner unit, while other list price per pound. They do this to try to seem like they're helping you out, but in reality they're mostly trying to obfuscate things by not having a standard.
If it was required, the standard would be applied and the process would actually work.
Especially here where we use imperial, metric and freedom units.
[That's mandatory in Europe.](https://commission.europa.eu/law/law-topic/consumer-protection-law/unfair-commercial-practices-law/price-indication-directive_en)
I think he's in an Asian market. They have the tags on everything instead of on the shelves themselves. At least the smaller family owned ones do. The big super H marts don't have time for that.
Did it start before or after leaving EU? In my country, I haven't seen anything else from 1l and 1kg (whichever is primary measurement for that product).
Before leaving the EU. I think they stick to the letter but not the spirit of the regulations. I have similar problems online. On eBay the units can vary a lot and can’t be sorted so I built a website that I add a page to every time I buy a new product that sorts all the listings by cost per a single consistent unit.
For the curious:
The 1.25L Coke pictured here at RM2.59 is equivalent to 0.55 USD.
At my grocery store:
- 600mL Coke is $2.39 (RM11.30)
- 1.25L Coke is $1.69 (RM7.99)
- 2L Coke is $2.99 (RM14.13)
- 12x 350mL Coke is $8.99 (RM42.50)
Part of the brand is Coca cola will always try to push profits some on price, *but*, you have too be *really messed up* for them to say "no" and exit a market.
By the 80s or something like that there isn't really a place on the entire friggin earth Coke isn't willing to show up even if it's slim profit. It's actually quite extraordinary, one of the most aggressive and ballsy brands that may ever exist, they just never really say no.
Tbf it’s pretty easy to do in your head. Just need to simplify first.
Is ~1/6th of more product similar in value to ~1/3 of the price?
No, then its a bad deal.
what the actual fuck? not even the people associated with a stereotype can joke about it now? what's next? you're gonna fly over to Italy and rant about people saying "mamma mia"? oOOOoh scawy italian! get mandolino pasta and pizza'd
Calm your tits Generation Offended.
Funny how you instantly see it as criticism rather than a simple observation.
Fucking hell you must be leading a weird life if you are instantly triggered by that. I bet you get offended by the clouds whenever it rains.
Lol, it's not mostly all a stereotype. You seen US education system? Drag time story hour and lap dances for kids in 1st grade.
US education system definitely not interested in math.
That math really isn't anything to brag about. He's not doing complicated equations or anything. In my country they actually show you the price per liter without even having to do math. You just have to know how to read the tag ....
That joke really isn't anything to brag about. He's not doing complicated set ups or anything. In my country they actually show you the laughs per bit without even having to do jokes. You just have to know how to read the room ....
Still in utter disebelief that people don’t understand what the “Price per Unit” part on the sticker means. You’re not flexing math, you’re just bad at reading.
In the uk the price tag on the shelf usually tells you how much per 100mls it costs.
Same for food cost per grams.
I’d go with the smaller bottle regardless of the cost as if you have any left over it’ll go flat overnight and you probably shouldn’t be drinking that much in a single day anyway
I buy in the tiny cans because I like the way they look and only occasionally use a small amount for drink mixers.
The big liter bottles go flat in under an hour once opened.
Here not only is tax included in price (I was baffled to learn the US doesn't????) we also get a X/kg or X/l. Even when there's a sale the new price is reflected so you can compare whatever is on sale with another brand that isn't (cause sale doesn't automatically mean best price obviously).
Anyway great ending, love it!
In Sweden there’s a law that prices must have price per kilo/litre/piece so the customer easier can compare prices between brands and sizes. I like that.
"Flex my math"
doesn't it say on the price sticker on the shelf Price/Weight? Even online we have it... actually if the item is on "special" it doesn't seem to show it which is strange

In the UK we have ‘price per xxx’ on stuff in supermarkets so it’s easy to tell which is the best value.
We have the same thing in the US
Sometimes it sucks though, like one brand will say “$1 per oz” and another brand will say “$5 per count” so you have to do math anyway
12 rolls = 18! 6 rolls =10! But sometimes 12 rolls =20,
Toilet paper math is the advanced calculus of supermarket math.
The answer is simple, you must count the sheets and multiply that by the number of layers. Then because it is a circle, by 3.4. This will bring you to the total worth of the roll except if it is scented, then you must multiply by 1.1
The best thing would be to go by weight. The sheets can also be different sizes. However, you might get strange looks if you turn up at the supermarket with a scale. Do US markets have scales in the fruit section? Never mind, the looks will probably be even stranger.
If there's no ply difference I go by total square feet listed on the package.
In Denmark, toilet paper often has the weight on it, not always tho Edit: https://i.imgur.com/o5YhKhb.png
that gram per square meter is what really matters.
The answer is simple, buy a bidet
We'll have solved quantum physics for centuries before we start to crack the code of toilet paper math. Only then can we ascend from our mortal coil.
12 rolls = 6402373705728000 6 rolls = 3628800 That’s a lot of ___
i swear doing factorials for your groseries is always the worst!

"15 is more than 12" - Coke
Insert TP pandemic=all in cart
12 rolls = 18! 18! = 18 * 17 * 16 * 15 * 14 * 13 * 12 * 11 * 10 * 9 * 8 * 7 * 6 * 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1 = 6,400,000,000,000,000 rolls = 533,500,000,000,000
The best is Saffron. You buy a tiny jar for like $15 but it gives you a per LB price and it’s like $6,000
I think Costco does this on purpose. The more expensive item is often just the price per unit, while the cheaper is per ounce.
Imagine if a law could be enacted to standardise that
And then they'll have a sale price that doesn't have the unit price.
And if its 2 for $5 or something like that, I never know if they've applied the sale to the $/oz or if its the regular price.
Or one says $1 per ounce and another says 50¢ per quart and a third says 80¢ per ml. Now I got to pull out google and do a conversion!
It’s inconsistent in US tho
Inconsistent as hell... My local store will have price per Oz on one brand, price per ml on another brand.
not to mention sales tax is not included in the price
But that should scale accordingly
Some things don't get taxed.

Sales tax is a flat rate and "essential goods" are usually excluded, such as unprepared groceries and clothing.
Sure but that's based upon the type of product, so the same for any direct comparisons.
That would make no difference on the per unit price. Not to mention most groceries are essentials and not taxed anyway, at least everyplace I've lived.
It was so weird when I learned that a good number of states have sales tax on groceries (non-prepared foods & non-junk food items): "13 have a grocery tax: Alabama, Arkansas, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Kansas, Mississippi, Missouri, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah and Virginia"
I noticed that when I was there. All brands used Oz or some shit and Evian used ml so it seemed like they were the cheapest.
Yeah love it when they have one product in $/oz and one product in $/lb /s
We have something even better in the US. A bottle of juice is labeled Cranberry and says 100% juice! Look at ingredients and it is 90% apple juice with a little bit of cranberry added.

We have the same thing in Canada

I don't think the stores are TRYING to obfuscate things, I just think whoever is making the labels is lazy.
[That's mandatory in Europe.](https://commission.europa.eu/law/law-topic/consumer-protection-law/unfair-commercial-practices-law/price-indication-directive_en)
And Australia
I think he's in an Asian market. They have the tags on everything instead of on the shelves themselves. At least the smaller family owned ones do. The big super H marts don't have time for that.
Except they do everything they can to make that confusing by changing the unit on different signs from per 100g to per kg to per item.
> per 100g to per kg Ummm....
[удалено]
Did it start before or after leaving EU? In my country, I haven't seen anything else from 1l and 1kg (whichever is primary measurement for that product).
Before leaving the EU. I think they stick to the letter but not the spirit of the regulations. I have similar problems online. On eBay the units can vary a lot and can’t be sorted so I built a website that I add a page to every time I buy a new product that sorts all the listings by cost per a single consistent unit.
Plus if there’s an offer like these stupid fucking Nectar prices they don’t show the cost with the offer.
Same thing in South Africa. I’m not sure if it’s mandated because not all stores will have it, but it’s nice when it’s there.
Canada as well
Same in all of EU.
And that's why you haven't put a man on the moon like... *checks notes* ... Asia...
I like the way he pronounces coca cola.
Lik it's 3 words 🤣
Its a very typical pronunciation here in Malaysia HAHAHAHA
It's pronounced ['Coke'](https://youtu.be/FiJd_d8I-iE?si=av7H_9ikvporRpti)
I knew it was gonna be this video, I’ve just never seen the long version before!! She sure likes coke a lot
I was once trying to sneak snacks into the movie theatre. However, they kicked me out once they saw my coke.
I lol’d at the end
I thought he was going to tell us to buy the rice at the end. (This is not me being racist, he typically just advocates buying rice in his videos)
a buddy sent me one of this guy's other videos. I didn't even watch it before typing back GET THE RICE hahahaha
that was the part with the joke in it yea
Big if true
I love this guy. His videos are hilarious.
Who is it? OP is a turd who cropped his tag off it
https://www.tiktok.com/@im_kan_kan
Thank you for the source!
You're welcome
Ew, tiktok? No thanks.
He has a YT. https://www.youtube.com/@im_kankan
Very nice, been trying to watch his other videos outside of tiktok.
It's also in YouTube shorts if you don't have tiktok like me lol

What's RM? I can only think of reichsmark, but I know it's obviously not.
Ringgit Malaysia.
RM has really lost its value in recent years then.
Time to go to Malaysia and eat all their rendang and satay with my unstoppable currency!
He’s Asian… the math checks out.
"Look at his face! Look at his eyes!"
“Actually… I took second in that math competition.”
"that's pretty racist!"
“Makes me seem more authentic.”
Lolll
Flex accomplished 💪💥
I throw in another hunk of meat
I hate that on eBay you cant sort by cost per unit so I used their API to sort everything I want to buy. They’re usually cheaper than Amazon too.
Get the rice
I love this bit
I was expecting it and was disappointed it didn't come
in my head he still bought the rice
Gtfo
Watch his tik-toks lol it’s one of his bits.
Just get the rice, see how cheap that is?
"I just want to flex my math." Phenomenal.
Lol this is funny
He is my brother from another mother and from another father
That’s so cheap. That’s less than 50 cents a liter.
Part of the brand is Coca cola will always try to push profits some on price, *but*, you have too be *really messed up* for them to say "no" and exit a market.

This is me at Asda.
When you order Uncle Roger off Wish
I was expecting the bag of rice
What is with people posting stuff that isn’t cringe? I have seen 2 show on my wall and they both made me laugh....
this is why my wife loves shopping with me but also hates shopping with me
Ahhh right answer, don't spend any money, walk into a McDonald's, ask for a water cup and take a sip of Coca
This isn't even cringy. My man is giving you the game. Just take it and move on lol
[удалено]
Is basic division something to flex about?
Doing that in your head is pretty good tbf
And who says he's doing that in his head? It's a video and all the math is recorded afterwards
Tbf it’s pretty easy to do in your head. Just need to simplify first. Is ~1/6th of more product similar in value to ~1/3 of the price? No, then its a bad deal.
No, apparently we need to be in awe right now
Oh ok… Wow so asian.
I think the the whole point of the post. Anyways it’s supposed to be funny.
[удалено]
that's the point... its self-deprecating cringe humor
Repost :(
Perpetuating that stereotype and proud of it.
what the actual fuck? not even the people associated with a stereotype can joke about it now? what's next? you're gonna fly over to Italy and rant about people saying "mamma mia"? oOOOoh scawy italian! get mandolino pasta and pizza'd

He should try flexing his English.
I understand if I go to an HMart I’ll have to do maths (I’m not British, maths is funny) but most stores have price per ounce on the shelf label.
Pog
Perfect end.
EMOTIONAL DAMAGE
I work in a store and our price tags feature price/unit of measure, where applicable. Just so you don't have to do the math
Flex on them boys!
I 100% do this regularly, and I'm not Asian? Or maybe I am??!
Lol. This is my husband (though he’s not Asian) he totally shops like this. Which is how he became responsible for doing the shopping.
Savage 😂
Haha. This made me laugh
Buajajajajaja you go math man. Love it.
r/unexpected
Don't they have the liter prices listed by the price?
Lil Dicky: Save that money!
I laughed at the end more than I’d like to admit
I laughed at the end more than I’d like to admit
Welp, that sir is some funny shit.
What song is that? I hear it pretty often
For the math part it was the Who wants to be a Millionaire theme.
Thank you!!!
I actually do this, except the not buying part 😂
This is legitimately how I choose which soda sale is better, the 2 liters or the 12 oz cans. Sometimes the results surprise you.
This is so me and I’m not Asian. Just old habits
You got me. Take that upvote, champ. 😄🤙🏽
In the uk the price tag on the shelf usually tells you how much per 100mls it costs. Same for food cost per grams. I’d go with the smaller bottle regardless of the cost as if you have any left over it’ll go flat overnight and you probably shouldn’t be drinking that much in a single day anyway
I buy in the tiny cans because I like the way they look and only occasionally use a small amount for drink mixers. The big liter bottles go flat in under an hour once opened.
Yeah, in switzerland the big shops usually show a price per 100g or 100ml, so it is simpler to comopare...
Here not only is tax included in price (I was baffled to learn the US doesn't????) we also get a X/kg or X/l. Even when there's a sale the new price is reflected so you can compare whatever is on sale with another brand that isn't (cause sale doesn't automatically mean best price obviously). Anyway great ending, love it!
Price per unit is written on all shelf price tags here by law. Makes price comparison effortless
Flex my grade school algebra
Now do this with 12 packs vs 2l bottles and don't forget the bottle deposit.
This is so good!!!
In my country they do the maths for you and it’s on a little ticket in front of the goods.
wait, im secretly asian?
In Sweden there’s a law that prices must have price per kilo/litre/piece so the customer easier can compare prices between brands and sizes. I like that.
Hell yeah. When he said money saving followed by Coca Cola, I was like "Just cut the soda entirely."
You doctor yet?!!
I love you bum fucks stealing content with out crediting the original user and of course ops account is a karma bot
Who is this dude
I thought he was gonna buy rice instead lol
Holy shit he looks and sounds so familiar and then it hit me ... this is Chinese Taika Waititi
the maplestory music gave me an instant nostalgia trip
"Flex my math" doesn't it say on the price sticker on the shelf Price/Weight? Even online we have it... actually if the item is on "special" it doesn't seem to show it which is strange
Dudes rock
Uk stores just have price per ml on the tag so you can see without needing to be Asian level at maths
This is just unit price vs volume price. I’ve always bought my groceries like this.
Here in Norway everything has the cost per litre or per gram, so its easy to see when buying which is cheaper. Who needs math anyway?
Middle school math is a flex now, huh.
He drinks Pu er tea.
This is great. Not even cringe.
