I was in a rush and I needed to pick up a quick snack that I could eat during class. I chose these Nature Valley bars which said they had ten bars inside. What I failed to notice is the tiny print at the bottom where it says 5 x 2, i.e., 5 packets with two bars.
Lo and behold when I open a pack during a break, I find two bars inside. I didn’t want to eat two bars, just one. You can’t even just leave the other fucking bar inside because they create so MANY crumbs. How the fuck are you supposed to seal it???
Stupid-ass deceptive printing got the better of me. It’s not the end of the world, just mildly infuriating.
I hate weasel word bs like this
On the bright side, at least it wasn’t labeled as “up to 10 bars” like ISPs get away with.
Not yet anyways
The FCC seems to have grown a spine given they’ve reinstated net neutrality, so maybe they’ll tackle this eventually.
In Australia, ISPs have to advertise the average speed during peak times. They can still list an “up to” speed, but the average peak time speed has to be displayed more prominently.
Outsmart them by breaking each bar in half. Now you have 20 bars without spending a penny more!
