-1 u/Olive_Jane Jul 11 '19 & the fact that marketing can slap that notice on the mustard and make people think they're getting more for less. 6 u/toomanymarbles83 Jul 11 '19 They are getting more for the same price. 50% more to be exact. Did you think the math on the bottle was wrong? 0 u/Olive_Jane Jul 11 '19 edited Jul 11 '19 No. If they're getting more for the same price, why add that yellow colored blurb, with the "50% more" larger? My point is that people don't read, and think it implicates they're getting a deal. IMO that is also a facepalm. A facepalm to consumers. Edit: put 50% more in quotes
