Good lord what an ignorant comment.

What the hell is someone going to do with an unusable fraction of boxed cake mix? Especially not an even fraction?

Like, come on, muster up the thought of a recipe that uses a can of, I dunno, coconut milk or something. For 50 years you could buy “1 can of coconut milk” and that was it. Open can. Add to ingredients. Cook. Done.

Now the can of coconut milk has been shrunk by 1.55ounces (inb4 durrr ur units are dumb, the problems exists if you measure in mL too) to increase profits and annoy you. Now to make your recipe, you have to scale by a stupid factor, or in your sage, genius advice no one apparently could’ve thought of on their own (what would we do without you!), but two cans, use up one completely, and use just 1.55oz of the next.

What the fuck do I do with the leftovers? Coconut milk isn’t exactly something you just drink alone. You can’t reseal the can. It’s gonna go bad before you want to make $RECIPE again. But hey, they got you to buy two cans, just so you can waste most of the second before you realize you were fucking swindled by some shitheel in loafers and a sweater vest with an MBA.

There are perishable ingredients emulsified in cake mix. Once you open the bag it has a very short useful shelf life. These are not hard concepts to understand.
