      Serving size has a lot of use cases, especially when looking at things individually packaged or in separate units (cookies for example).

      Per 100g has fewer use cases in my mind as I’m not a scale and have no idea how to break down most products into 100g.

        If you are American it’s about 4oz, and if you want a visual with most foods that is roughly a cubic inch of food per ounce. It’s not exact but it’s close enough to understand when applied to stuff like oil and butter alongside cotton candy or dry crackers where the densities and amounts used dramatically differ.
