Liquid cheating

[quovadis]

Never a better reason to start making your own. Its fun, easy and the $$ saved will be significant.

That's besides the bloody point!
It's when 2 + 2 do not equal 4 that we have a problem.

Like the steakhouses...there's a juicy 9oz steak on the menu...when the plate comes the piece of meat barely weighs 6 oz.
The cow shrank in the process.

I think I might have found an answer to this, part of the reason is that they don't actually sell by ml's, they sell by weight (even if they advertise by volume) so they weigh the bottle into the equation as well. I'm always shorted too.

Ah that explains it.. weight..
I figured it was a manufacturer problem, as it was too widespread a issue.
They need to quit adding the bottle in the equation or at least fix the label then.

Thanks for the answer

I'd have to go with it's the machinery (and lack of quality control). Most machines that fill containers with liquid are set to a certain level, 30ml for example. The machine will keep spitting out a max of 30ml, but if there is a jam, the liquid is heavier or thinner, a delay, or any other reason, it will only spit out a max of 30ml, never more, sometimes less. Then in a manufacturing environment they have quality control people that go and measure the size of random bottles from each batch and in some companies they even check every single bottle. Then they pull the under filled bottles out, either throw them out or open them and re-add it the main liquid batch or sell them as under filled bottles (at clearance prices).

I've also found that many bottles (maybe not all, I haven't used all of them) are actually larger than their stated sizes. For example, a popular bottle from US Plastics is advertised as 15ml (or cc) when it actually holds 18ml, not including the neck. When filled with 15ml (per graduated cylinder) it appears to be short quite a bit, when it's not actually the case.

That's actually different. The cut you are ordering is usually based on weight BEFORE cooking. Just FYI.

Hey John, was that a serious offer? If it was, we'd love to!

Clever girl, well.. i will have to go into the kitchen next time and weigh the darned thing!

Send some to the FDA for testing.
Don't tell them it's a new vitamin for children!!! They may take you seriously.

No biggie,

but I've alwasys thought ml. was a liquid measurement?

Pounds, grams, ounces and penny weights being your weight measurements...

Looking for a hog's head of flue cured myself...

Last 30ml. I received was a shockingly full, 1/4 empty...

That's pushing it in my book

Yeah, I mentioned it--I'd rather not have to though...

I notice all my bottles are not filled to the top not even close so I wonder if i should try a new buyer or what?
