How does Dealophant calculate price per ounce for toothpaste?

Total listing price is divided by the canonical ounce count extracted from the product title. toothpaste is best compared by weight (price per ounce).

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-ounce ranking stays apples-to-apples.
