Koohii stories:

1) [sweetneet] 12-9-2006(207): On many wheat cereal boxes, there is a disclaimer stating that "This package is sold by weight, not by volume. Some settling of contents may have occurred." well they only say that because they don't want to be blamed by people getting really disappointed after they see what a small volume of cereal the box really contains.

2) [dingomick] 4-3-2007(138): The volume of the wheat crop is way down this year! Blame the weather!

3) [CountPacula] 26-7-2008(75): Wheaties and other cereals are sold by weight, not volume, in order to avoid blame if the contents settle. (simplified version of sweetneet's).

4) [Odieone] 5-1-2009(31): The volume of wheat I ate is to blame for my weight gain.

5) [arun90] 14-4-2008(23): Most people say carbohydrates (grain) are to blame for their excessive volume.
