Disgusting packaging for Chicken.

Yesterday I bought a roasted a chicken. On the packaging it said it served two to three people. Well it does not. We had roast breast yesterday. Today we are having roast breast again.nthat is four servings. And I have chopped up the legs, wings and the rest into a curry for Tuesday and Wednesday. Clearly it is going to see at least eight servings.
Should I take the packaging back and complain. It is clearly miskeading!

Based off all the spelling mistakes in your post you probably misread it
Anyway, what is a 'serving'? You could make a chicken breast last a week if you only gave someone a square inch!0 -

I had an aunt like that. She used to get one of those Aunt Bessie cakes that says serves 16 and she would somehow get 60 or more servings from it - I am convinced that in a previous life it was her that orchestrated the feeding of the 5000 (probably form one birds eye fish finger and a slice of Slimcea).IITYYHTBMAD0

When they wrote serves two to three people perhaps they misspelt the word to. They may have meant serves two two three people i.e. 223 people.0

You could try posting this on a current thread on the consumer rights board
