Both need to always be printed, with kJ first as that’s the official standard. But since in practical terms more people talk about kcal, they’ve required including that one as well. Here’s a photo:

(Also, all foodstuff must have the ingredients and nutritional values in the local language, so I wonder how this package of instant noodles made its way into my pantry!)

It’s somewhat a wild assumption that the only electronic appliance a household uses is a hair dryer.

Because total energy used is not what matters. What matters for most people is how much they have to pay. And they have to pay according to how many hours they were powering their devices with how many kilowatts.

People are – sadly – very uninterested in thinking about energy being indeed energy.

I have no clue of kcal, because I always read the numbers in kilojoules. And EU is not a part of Australia :) (And we need to mention the kJ because EU legislation is in effect in Finland where I live)
