If you were going to buy premium honey rather than generic, it would also read 32 oz.
net weight. All you have to do is compare the prices on the two jars.

That shows that you got confused between weight and fluid ounces. Ounces
are weight and Fluid ounces are volume. If you ask Mrs. Google how many
ounces there are in 24. fluid oz of honey you will see that it works out.

That matters if priced by weight. Most are priced by volume so a pint
is still a pint. Taking two of the items on your list, maple syrup comes
in quart containers but honey is 1 pound in a bottle. I never had the
need to compare maple syrup to honey though.

Quit the bullshit. You know exactly what it means. You are revoltingly
disingenuous in your statement. Of course, it isn't your usual
click-bait or anti-child screed, but I bet you understand.....

What makes It "Premium?"

"Generic" would be opposed to "Name Brand" not "Premium."

Hmm. What are the odds that TWO jackasses wouldn't know what "Click
Bait" means, both in the same group, both upset that someone was
asking about cooking in a cooking discussion group?

Troll.

It's a fake address, dipshit just like your gmail address. But that's ok, poor

I didn't realize that there was a difference between premium and generic honey. Is one just older?

Tell Lenona to stop sulking and come back with some more
'recipes' and questions. We'd like some click bait articles, too.
