Maybe it goes along with all the "supersize" portions in the prepared
food world.

I bought one of those new Stouffer square panini bread thingies (looks
like pizza) - the box says one serving is what's in the box. It's way
too much food for one serving; I had two dinners from it, and probably
could have made three out of it, if I'd cut it differently and added a
side dish or two.
