This makes no sense and now I must have a box of Biz. This is the tiny bit of corrosive suffering that you must share. Thank you, but also, you’re the worst. πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

I feel like 25% more than 30oz is how I feel most Mondays. LOL

The really scary thing is that after a few seconds I knew what they meant....only because I've become something of a math geek in the last two decades - I NEVER was before, to the always amusing brother and mother (at my expense). It's wrong math, however. 25% of 40 (the amount in the new bottle) is 10 oz, which would be the old bottle of 30. 25% of 30 is 30 times .25 (grabs calculator), so you should have a bottle of 37.5 ounces...oy, my head hurts, and this is geekiness overload for me. I'd rather graph a line..... The amusement to the family resulted from my mother asking the question, if 2x is 6, what's x?" To which I replied "a letter?" My brother laughing hysterically (he's 3 years younger) and my mother repeating the question - but louder and slower - and I still didn't see how x could be anything more than a letter....I should still be in therapy....a wait, I am.....
