It's the recommended serving sizes that are out of touch with reality.
Yeah, it should be illegal to list serving sizes that disconnected from reality. They should be MANDATED to have the first column list the nutrition information for the container as a whole, and then let them put whatever ridiculous lie, but it should only be allowed in a second column, that I can ignore after seeing the first column that shows what the container actually contains.
I don't know how they do it elsewhere, but here in New Zealand, they put "per 100g" measurements on the labels which are really helpful.
Same in the EU. I believe 100g or 100ml is mandated, but then they can add a "per serving" table as well.
