Stupid labels.

[elfs]

It's a day for housework and, y'know, some of the labels I encounter in my day are just really, really stupid.

Tide would like you to know, in Really Big Letters, that it's 300oz product has "50% more than the 200oz product!" Well, yeah. Is this label for the benefit of people who can't do math? Is that the best selling point they've got?

Head & Shoulders would like to know that it is "Made of US and/or imported materials." In other words, it's made on Earth. And as I learned recently, "Earth is really full of things."

No no no, it's made from materials from the US and outside of it. Outside of the US could mean anywhere. :)

I want products made entirely on Earth as differentiated from Mars.

As the Tick put it, when Omnipotus wanted to eat the Earth:

"But ... it's where I keep all my stuff!"
