Chocolate and Bacon Bars

Two bars from the same company. Both are chocolate and bacon (yeh, bacon!). The only difference is that one is dark chocolate and one is milk chocolate. They are the same size and weight. The dark chocolate bar says it contains two servings while the milk chocolate bar says it contains two-and-a-half servings. Then there’s the math about calories, grams of fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, sodium, and carbs PER SERVING. And they are higher per serving for the dark chocolate bar.

It ends up that if you multiply the per-serving figures for the dark chocolate times 2 and the per-serving figures for the milk chocolate bar by 2.5, the total dark chocolate bar as a whole is still higher than the milk chocolate bar. So, why show it as 2 vs. 2.5 servings per bar? Inquiring chocoholics want to know.
