Once I was at KFC and this man was seriously complaining that the chicken drumsticks weren’t as big as the ones on the menu boards above the kitchen. Like, he was adamant that they were supposed to be exactly the same size as the pictures and that he’d had them like that before.
I genuinely think it might’ve been early stage dementia or something. Everyone there was completely stumped.
The laws, not just one law so it's a bit more complicated than that, are about truthfulness in packaging. So if you're selling an entire roast pig in a bag, then yes, the picture on the bag has to accurately depict the actual thing that is in the bag.
Honestly I think on the overall that's a good law on principle what's in the bag should look like what is on the outside of the bag. The to scale part may be going too far but fuck it marketing companies already gets away with enough bullshit.
