Labeling on food packages

[speedyquad]

Have you ever tried to read the label on the side of a bottle of aspirin? I'd swear they use the same label for both the 100ct and 25ct bottles.They just shrink it down to fit.It's no wonder I think I'm going blind trying to read things.

Just saying...

basically, that is what happens a lot...look at heinz vinegar...the labels between the various sizes are the same, except for the content size...it saves money...artwork from the graphic artists cost, more colors/color changes equal more cost
if i can run two different sizes of the same label, the number of sheets can easily be reduced to 25%.

it also creates a familiarity.

And the items that say something like "20% more". I believe the implication is you get 20% more for free...but if the word free isn't there, you can be assured it isn't free.

And there will NEVER be anything to compare what 100% would have cost to see if you really get 20% more free.

Or merchants who get national advertizing (like McD) then they say "At participating locations only". What? You have to go in and ask if they are participating?

33% more meat. It used to have 3 bites, not they have 4 bites!
