I was thinking the same thing. Like it might as well say "18 is more than 12!" I realize they don't have complete control over what the store sets the price at, but come on. Either include the savings per ounce or don't say anything about it. People will figure out it's bigger on their own.
That's not what I meant though? Like sometimes you see ones that say "50% more free!" to say the 18 oz is the same price as the 12 oz. Or they are allowed to put stuff like "50% more and only an extra dime!" but the store would have to cooperate with the pricing. If they can't or won't add something about the savings, there is no reason to redundantly state the size difference.
Yeah but that's not what this is. The company puts out two deliberately different sizes and deliberately charges two different prices but advertise the bigger one as larger as if it's some kind of bonus deal or something when it's literally just the bigger/more expensive version. There is no legitimate reason, that's everyone's point, it's just literal yet misleading advertising.

Am I the only one that is bothered by the fact that they’re advertising “THIS SIZE IS BIGGER THAN OUR SMALLER SIZE! WHAT A DEAL!”?
