I entered "Cheerios" and was told one box of Cheerios cereal is 61 calories; and that one box of blueberry Cheerios is 611 calories. So I think that we need better quantification of units than just "box," since presumably these measurements are dealing with boxes of different sizes.

Man, those GMO blueberries are really getting out of hand, aren't they?
It's 2023 and we don't have GMO blueberries the size of a basketball yet? Lazy ass scientists need to get back to work.
Similarly, 1 cup unsalted peanuts is listed as having 10x the calories of 1 cup peanuts. The latter probably refers to peanuts in their skins while the former refers only to the nuts which would be packed much denser. A photo of the food could help here.
