- How does Dealophant calculate price per pick for floss picks?
- Total listing price is divided by the canonical pick count extracted from the product title. floss picks is best compared by pick count, not by pack size or weight. Marketing labels like a "family size", a "value pack", or a "mega" box hide the real pick count, so Dealophant extracts the true number of picks from each title before dividing price by it. Cross-unit listings (for example a serving-count tub mixed in with weight-based tubs) are shown separately under "Other formats" so the price-per-pick ranking stays apples-to-apples.
- Is bulk floss picks actually cheaper per pick?
- Usually yes, but not always — Dealophant has seen single-pack floss picks undercut bulk on a per-pick basis when the smaller size is on sale or has a Subscribe & Save discount the bulk listing doesn't. That's why Dealophant always recomputes per-pick price live rather than assuming bigger = cheaper.
