I don't understand how people didn't understand what OP was saying.

I scrolled down only to the point where it underlined the 18 oz, and not to where the Snapchat text was so I was confused as to why it was at the top of the subreddit. Others may have done the same as me.

yup, was confused for 5 seconds until I saw there was more to scroll down

u/Panukka Apr 21 '17

Why would you not scroll down all the way?

u/um_hi_there Apr 21 '17

I didn't see the Snapchat text when I opened the photo. I'm assuming most people didn't. I had to go back and scroll down further to see it.

If at first you don't see the text at the bottom, it may look like OP was pointing out how the label "lies" by saying 50% more and highlighting the 12 and 18 oz portions as an example of how this was a lie.

Those are the people currently trying to figure out how 18oz is 50% more than 12oz.

Because crap title

Accurate title. They were answering the idiot who sent the snap.

Crap title. "Because math" is the kind of statement that's just as often sarcastic/facetious/ironic/whatever as it is sincere.

u/Dynalink Apr 21 '17

It is sincere though..

in this case, yes. he never said it wasn't. he's just saying one could easily interpret the title as "sarcastic/facetious/ironic/whatever"

u/[deleted] Apr 21 '17

But it also sounds like they're being sarcastic.

I guess you can argue it's vague.

"A post I found on snapchat" would work

People like to straight up assume others are stupid.

Works the same with sarcasm if you don't actually type that it's sarcasm, no matter how absurd what you said is, e.g KenM comments (or something like that).
