I signed up for the “ad free experience” on Amazon.
Picked a movie, popup says “this feature is not available ad free”. Cancelled
How is this legal? Oh yeah, Bezos was on the stage clapping with the other robber barons.
I gave up sailing the high seas during the golden age of streaming. Unfortunately it has already come to an end with the majority of streaming services including ads for their highest tier.
I have wasted so much of my life on watching commercials, I refuse to waste anymore.
Indestructible or tough dog toys. My boy will have that in pieces, 15 minutes or less guaranteed
You’re dog has fuckered up eyes
Get him a stick
When he break it. He now have 2 stick
When he have too many stick.
Go get new stick. It free.
I have been conditioned to think of “Free & Clear” as having no coloring or nasty scents added and then I come across this and was duped
This is such bullshit manipulative marketing, similar to when companies will put out an ad saying something like “ONLY $1.99/MONTH” in large, bold letters and then below it have tiny fine print saying “for the first month, then $420.69/month”.
“Free of dyes. Soft pear scent.”. Boom. Done. Not only is it short, but it’s clear and accurate. Almost nobody cares if it’s “clear” as long as it’s dye-free.

A “family size” bag of Doritos is not sized for a family. Or I on my own count as a family.
“Military Grade” is not the flex that civilians think it is.
A “family size” bag of Doritos is not sized for a family. Or I on my own count as a family.
It’s enough for a family because the portion sizes are like 4 chips.
Military grade
This one is funny to me because the military commonly goes with the lowest bidder. So I take it to mean that “military grade” is absolute garbage made by the lowest bidder.
A “family size” bag of Doritos is not sized for a family.
It should be the size of a family.

How whip cream is keto because the serving size is 1/2 teaspoon (5mL) and it’s less than 1 calorie (1kcal).
LOL
Keto != Low calorie.
Generally it just means low carb as a marketing term. As a diet it’s an asinine amount of fat and whipped cream fits that bill. Especially if you can find low sugar whipped cream.
A lot of Keto “friendly” food have like 1g or 2g of carb, and a part from what you mentioned of the serving sized being unrealistic small, even if it wasn’t, they add up, if you consume a variety of this during the day you gonna exceed the maximum carb really easily.
Not so much a lie but jumping on the bandwagon. A lot of traditional products that never had gluten in them to begin with now show “Gluten Free!” on the label, as if they did something good for you rather than simply redesigning a product label.
Oh yes, so many products claim this pointlessly.
Gluten free beer, corn chips, ketchup, fruit snacks, dairy products, etc.
beer usually has grain. it’s reasonable to demand the mash bill.
“No preservatives” - Sugar is a preservative. Salt is a preservative. Vinegar is a preservative. Lemon juice is a preservative.
“Sugar-free” - but they add alternative sweeteners that have a range of other health issues associated with them.
“Cholesterol-free” - I once saw this on a juice container and had a laugh.
What people don’t realise is that with food formulation, what you take out, you have to put something back in to replace it. A low/no sugar product will likely be higher in something else like fat to make it a palatable product… So labels make claims on some things, but will purposely not mention the others.
Edit: Yay! 100th comment!
Cholesterol-free is such a bullshit label anyway because dietary cholesterol doesn’t do anything special to your own cholesterol. You are not a chicken and the egg yolk will not go directly to your bloodstream. Your blood has human cholesterol that you made yourself from the rest of the sugars and fats you ate, digested, converted, stored, and reeconverted.
Let me introduce you to “Gluten Free”. On a sausage.
I give “gluten free” a pass because it’s not always obvious. Some people do have very severe reactions and some products do, unsuspectingly, contain gluten in the form of filler content or for some other mechanical use. Sausage is specifically known to use wheat product as filler and binder. Same for deli meats and veggie burgers. Some places will even throw breadcrumbs into their ground beef for burgers to fake it’s tenderness, so it crumbles like a meatloaf would.
Then there’s seasonings. Potato chips are made from potatoes, right? But not all chips are potato chips. You’d hope a gluten-issue person would be able to identify pita chips or bagged crackers from the chips selection would have gluten, but it turns out, despite being a corn chip, Dorito dust can affect gluten sensitivities. Soy sauce and malt vinegar are issues, and seasoning mixes use flour to help distribution
Oh, and processing aids. That’s another kettle of fish. Same with things that are added and then taken out, or vice versa, as long as they are the same amounts, they don’t have to be on the label unless it’s an allergen. (Australia)
I’m always wary of places that cook or bake their own food, especially home businesses. They don’t have the money to pay an accredited food lab to do their labels and testing for them. I’ve done my share of food label auditing, and I’ve seen some pretty shocking things.

Should have seen this coming at me like an atom bomb
I saw a TikTok of a guy saying that eggs have a code on the carton stating what farm they were from. The guy went to a grocery store and nearly every carton had the same code, regardless of advertising free-range, or no hormones.
Note: I did not verify if this was true but it wouldn’t surprise me.
Organic. Lol.
There are regulations around what you can call organic. Any issue you have here is probably more geared towards the laws themselves.
