What is a "bakers dozen"?
13
According to Encyclopedia Britannica and Mental Floss, some bakers in 13th century England were notorious for skimping on the size of their baked goods, while customers were still paying full price. This “cheating” provoked King Henry III to pass a strict law—selling bread below the standard weight and size and overcharging for it got you roughed up or tossed in a jail cell. Many bakers didn’t want to risk it, so to reduce any margin of error, they often included an additional loaf of bread in their normal dozen, just to be safe.
