I would personally use a ratio. An example of a ratio would be 5 cherry red lollipops : 2 green apple lollipops. This means that your cherry red lollipops sell 2.5 times as much as a green apple lollipops. The percent would be 250% cherry red lollipops. How do you get 2 1/2 lollipops? You don't that is why you would use a ratio. If you say 500 percent than it would be 5 lollipops to 1 lollipop. This is why ratios work better than percents.
In my opinion, percents are best things with discounts such 25% of a $100 jacket. A ratio would be 75:100, and therefore in this situation, a percent would be better. But since the blog topic is on which is better to use when buying food, I would have to say ratios.
