or by weight, and, except as otherwise provided in sections 42-115g to 42-115q, inclusive, commodities not in liquid form shall be sold only by weight, by measure of length
or area or by count; provided liquid commodities may be sold by weight and commodities

not apply (1) to commodities when sold for immediate consumption on the premises
where sold, (2) to vegetables when sold by the head or bunch, (3) to commodities in
containers standardized by a law of this state or by federal law, (4) to commodities in

amounts of commodity sold are determined in accordance with good commercial practice and are so determined and represented as to be accurate and informative to all parties
at interest.
