Marketing products and double speak? What do you think?

The fault also lies with the system using the same name (ounces) for both weight and volume.

There wouldn't be confusion if the label said:

17 pints
13 pounds

Then there is that it might have 13 oz of product, and 4 oz of propellant.

Regardless, not the ideal label.

I love Wasabi. But I know it isn't Wasabi. I like White Chocolate, though I know there is no chocolate involved. Most apple juice isn't. Most leather... isn't leather, Kraft doesn't make cheese. Peanut Butter, isn't even mostly just ground up Peanuts. Homeopathy is a joke and an affront to common sense, Most fish you order at a restaurant, is not the fish stated on the menu. Anything you hear about the performance of a vehicle, is not true in the real world, just take %15 off, and that's its actual performance. More cores in a computer does not make it faster, it keeps it from slowing down over so many different tasks. The computation of any specific task isn't any faster. It can just do more different ones at a time limited by its bus speed to RAM. Flying personal EV cars is a click bait joke. The internet isn't good place to get information any more. People figured out that all they needed was hits to punk the algorithm, so real information became secondary.

Advertising is, most generally, to sell not to educate.

So if a 12 fluid ounce of Coke weighs 10 ounces. Obviously chain lube weighs less than one ounce per fluid ounce. It's a math thing.

It's an imperial measurement thing. By thing I mean problem. Thank goodness U.S., Myanmar and Liberia still use imperial measurements and refuse to go metric.

Yeah, maybe. But we don’t have a Castro running us down into national suicide, either.

Company response should of simply been: “The lubes density is 13/17 (76.47%) of water.”

My wife's contribution to this: Most sales at Kohls are on items otherwise carrying jacked up prices.

Tracfone plays this silly game, whereby, as you are refilling your minutes, it always asks you if you have a bonus code. I use to look for these, then discovered that it makes no difference at all. Everyone gets the bonus minutes anyway.

You mean Justin Trudeau
