The unit bias refers to the belief that one serving size of a food is appropriate to consume at one time. In this scenario, Jenna was likely only eating one pastry because it was individually packaged and she considered it a single serving. When the packaging changed to include two pastries, Jenna began consuming both because she saw it as one serving.
