We used to have standardized package sizes in the EU for things like butter, chocolate, etc. So stupid to give that up

I guarantee it's because of neoliberals and conservatives trying to emulate The US.

It was in the name of customer convenience and individualism of course. Think of the singles!

But luckily, we now have guidelines on how crooked a banana has to be to not be thrown into the trash!
