I think the idea might be that you’re spose to use the pita as a vehicle for the hummus, not use the hummus as an excuse for the pita.

I think the idea is that you need to mind your business

lol, I’m not judging. It’s just a thought I had when I kept running out of pita and simultaneously gaining weight.

It's blended beans, people treat it like caviar even though the bread is the expensive part. You should be loading your bread up to capacity

It’s not just beans. Good hummus should also have a solid amount of good olive oil, tahini, and fresh garlic and lemon. Pita is flour, yeast, and water which are like the cheapest ingredients.

I'm aware, I'm just saying that if you make $5 worth of hummus you are going to be spending about the same amount (if not more) on pita. Compared to, e.g. a baked brie, where you need $3 worth of dipping instruments to consume $10-15 worth of dip

As a former broke person, I have a habit of doing this with all dips. Dips, fancy cheese, creams, etc often felt like caviar
