1/3 full brand new deodorant - Lemmy.World

You get 45 grams according to the package. It’s more cost effective for them to just put it in the same packaging as the regular sized and just change the label rather than shut down and change the production line to accommodate the smaller size.

That doesn’t change the fact its misleading. Not everyone walks around with a god damn scale, knows the average weights of deodorant off the top of their head. The average person is going to look at this and assume its full and that’s how they want it.

ackshually if you get out your scales and do a little homework

no. fuck you.

Not everyone is like you and doesn’t understand how weight works.

If you’re going to complain about something, at least attempt to understand it before bitching. Otherwise you just look lazy.

Not everyone needs to suck corporate dick when they are obviously being misleading.
So you’re just willfully ignorent?

Nope. I explained very clearly how they are being misleading but, for shits and giggles, I will summarize my post again.

Yes its not technically false advertising because they put the weight on the package, but by putting it in a larger package they are counting on the average person to not actually sit there and think about exactly how much deodorant should weigh. To see this at a glance you would have too, off the top of your head, know the average weight of deodorant vs its size. You are acting like this is something the average consumer should already know off the top of their head, and talking down to people who explain not everyone is going to notice this right away and simply assume they are getting a full package.

This is deliberately misleading. They are going out of their way to trick people.

I do expect the average person to have passed 4th grade, yes.
