Rounding Mode:

The term “baker’s dozen” traces back to medieval England, where bakers, fearing severe penalties for selling underweight bread, would include an extra loaf when selling a dozen. This ensured compliance with strict trade regulations, as weights and measures were rigorously enforced. So, a baker’s dozen always amounted to 13 items—an ingenious way for bakers to safeguard their reputations and livelihood.

This historical practice wasn’t just rooted in caution but also helped strengthen customer trust. Interestingly, while the practice began with bakers, the phrase “baker’s dozen” has transcended its origins to represent the number 13 in various contexts, offering a fascinating glimpse into how commerce and language intertwine.

Did you know?

While we often think of a dozen as a straightforward count of 12, its counterpart, the half dozen, amounts to 6. Surprisingly, the half dozen has played a significant role throughout history and culture. Derived from the Old French word “douszain,” the dozen has deep roots in ancient measurements, with the half dozen naturally becoming a preferred unit for counting and packaging smaller quantities.

In baking, a half dozen is a common way to package or sell items like bagels or cupcakes, appealing for its simplicity and practicality. Beyond its culinary applications, the term “half dozen” is frequently used in expressions and idioms, highlighting the innate human preference for dealing with manageable chunks of numbers.
