Basic division, for the smaller size, 98 divided by 12, you would have paid about 8 cents a foot. For the larger size, 487 divided by fifteen, you paid about 32 cents a foot. You could have gotten 60 feet of tinsel from buying five packs of the smaller that you paid for getting 15 feet from the larger pack. So yeah, you got massively ripped off.
Look at the volume difference. Two different styles.
The difference is 3 ft.
The bigger one is a thicker tinsel, the 12 is very skinny
