The ACCC has sent out a press release this morning to introduce “a caped calculator character called Unit Man.”
Unit Man will “appear soon in supermarkets and grocery catalogues across Australia to help consumers better understand unit pricing.

For example, laundry detergent in a 2.5 litre bottle priced at $7.62 will have a unit price per litre of $3.05.”
Here is Unit Man and his special friend ACCC chairman, Graeme Samuel:
