Profound thoughts on an oatmeal box

As I was eating oatmeal like a good little healthy cat 4 this morning, I naturally read the box.

"Put in one packet of oatmeal and add 3/4 cups of hot water. For two packets add 1 cup of hot water"

That little diddy just about threw me out of my pants with thought provoking (high speed on demand) action. It also doesn't make any sense. It seems like something along the lines the more you want the less you have to put into it. (?)

Or maybe that is what they wanted me to think so that I would just eat the whole box, because using my highly attuned math skillz by then I would actually need negative amounts of water to make it.

My conclusion is that it was just a cheap subliminal way to sell more.
