You get 45 grams according to the package. It's more cost effective for them to just put it in the same packaging as the regular sized and just change the label rather than shut down and change the production line to accommodate the smaller size.

That doesn't change the fact its misleading. Not everyone walks around with a god damn scale, knows the average weights of deodorant off the top of their head. The average person is going to look at this and assume its full and that's how the manufacturer wants it.

ackshually if you get out your scales and do a little homework..

no. fuck you.

So you, I dunno, read the label where it shows the net weight, and compare it to other similar products nearby on the same shelf? Hell, most store shelf pricing has price per unit on it now, so you can compare prices pretty directly. Yeah, I get that it's not completely consistent where that's implemented, but it's far and away better than the days of "price gun sticker on item and that's it."

I certainly do not do that. Who has time to inspect every item they buy nowadays? Ridiculous.

Literally everyone has the time...

Uh, that's incorrect. When you're buying groceries for your family, getting household essentials, cleaning supplies, etc, you're going to be in and out because you have to get home to make dinner and get ready for work the next day.

Then get scammed I guess...it takes literal seconds to to read things.

The time it took you to reply on your addiction device could be spend actually being productive by ensuing you aren't being scammed at stores.

[–] wellee -1 points 7 months ago

But when you're buying 40 things? Have other stuff to do? You are being incredibly naive

Do you just blindly grab random objects of the shelf and pretend to be shocked when you get home or something?
