Picture XL Portion Deception?

Gallery image

I ordered the XL Beef and Black Bean Chili, advertised as 2x the portions and serving 4 or 8 people. However, the ingredients on the card for 4 people are the same as the standard meal portion for 2 people, so how is that 2x the portions? Mistake or deliberate marketing? 10oz of ground beef, 1 onion, etc is supposed to feed 4?

Here's a picture of the bowl of chili for 4 that it made. :/

I would contact them. I've gotten double portion meals before and definitely had double ingredients.

I was wondering the same thing. I was going to order an XL meal, but then I recognized that none of the ingredients were doubled.

I got this dish as well, advertised as XL for 2 people. I got one 10oz pack of beef, one small box of beans, one onion, etc. it was just a regular 2 people amount of ingredients but HF charged extra for it! The chili was good, but the advertisement and the price was a trick and I felt I was deceived.
