I worked at a 7-11 on my way through college and a young lad plopped a Hostess fruit pie on the counter and said “What does it say about our society when a company can write ‘Made With Real Fruit’ on the label as if that is a unique selling feature?”
Good point.
I point out marketing weaselwords to my kid as part of her general education. My two favorites are Breyers’ switch from “ice cream” to “frozen dairy dessert” and the box of snacks I once spotted that were described as “yogurty covered fruity dots”. “New rule, kid: that many Y’s means they’re trying HARD to scam you.”
Honorable mention to the endcap display mid-Atkins fad: “Honey: A Sugar-Free Sweetener”.
