Comment on What metrics are deoderant companies using to calculate their "72hr protection" numbers?
MightBeAlpharius@lemmy.world 5 days agoThey also usually use some weasel words like “up to.” That way, if it doesn’t last the full 72 hours (which it won’t), they can claim that they stated “72 hours MAXIMUM” rather than just “72 hours.” It’s basically shifts the statement from “lasts three days” to “definitely won’t last four days.”

Lots off stuff like that out there. Like food products that say “Made with 100% white meat chicken”. That just means that 100% white meat chicken is one of the ingredients.
Or those stupid “99c and up” stores. That’s no dollar store. That’s just a store. 99c and up is so many things.

Or the american no sugar rule that makes 100% sugar tic tacs sugar free (each ‘serving’ contains less than 5 gram of sugar)
