Things that have too many or too few in a packet

[lemonsaretheonlyfruit]

I was pondering this as I opened a box of my current preferred biscuits. Nairn's dark chocolate oatcakes. I know all of the Nairns come in packs of 5 but still.

I don't need 5. I mean I would happily eat 5 and I did in the end and there were 5 in the packet. I'm trying to shed a few pounds (or just be a bit better than normal in Jan). I would be absolutely fine with 3. But I had to eat the other 2 and always will due to lack of willpower. I wouldn't eat 3 then eat 2 more if they came in 3s.

It got me thinking about other food items where there are too many or too few. Too many crisps in a grab bag too but I'll always eat all of them because they are THERE.

Any other examples?

@Baldieheid Sainsbury's single lemons are unwaxed.

Thanks. Sadly my nearest sainsbury is 25 miles away, so it's probably not worth the petrol.

I have been advised in person however that I can grate then freeze the zest, and freeze the juice in ice cube tray.

I now feel very stupid at that not occurring to me.
