You buy a chocolate bar in a package that claims the thing is 25% bigger than its previous version. Then you pick a shampoo that has "only natural ingredients" on the bottle and costs surprisingly little. Ooh! Now stop. Do you really get a great bargain or is it just manufacturers fooling you? Think twice — marketing experts are talented manipulators! For example, a bag or a bottle itself may look bigger than others produced by the same brand, but its weight can be absolutely the same! Some manufacturers aren't strangers to using optical illusions to make customers think there is more product than in reality. Empty space inside boxes, inflated plastic bags, labels stuck at the top of glass bottles so that you don't notice they are half empty...

Unfortunately, the manufacturer's "0" is quite different from your "0." - Manufacturers often write that their new product is twice as big as the previous "edition," but in most cases, it's not true. - To make their products look better than they are, manufacturers often create their own mix of healthy ingredients and put this blend at the top of the ingredient list. - Some stores can go as far as to make their flyers look like parking tickets you just can't ignore. - "Lower calories" and "reduced fat" sound tempting! But these are extremely tricky terms. They most likely mean that this product's version contains fewer calories than the previous one. - "Made with..." This sign attracts many customers. Unfortunately, a product "made with maple syrup" usually doesn't contain much, if any real thing.
