cake mixes for a couple of recipes I have, particularly at the holidays. I noticed a few years ago that the batter was too thin and finally figured out it's because there were 3 fewer ounces in the cake mix than my recipe called for. So now, when I make that recipe I have to get a second box and use a kitchen scale to add back the 3 oz. Pisses me off no end.
