Whenever I see 'up to', as in 'up to 40% better than the competition', my instinctive reaction is: 'So you have search the market for the very worst product you could find, and you are no more than 40% better than that?'

Unit price: 4.50
Buy two for only 10.00!
One of the big chain stores in Norway was recently caught in several cases of this kind of advertising. When confronted by journalists, the store owners insisted that the cash register would charge only 9.00 for two. I am not at all trusting that it was the case the day before the journalists turned up

Don't say anything about the Crap[^]. It rarely lets you down, but my favorite is the Crap 27SL.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

Not exactly advertising, but sort of related:
Norway does not accept nuclear weapons on its ground. USA very much wants to establish advance stores (or whatever the correct term is!) of military equipment in Norway for fighting The Great Enemy - including atomic bombs. We agree to advance stores of conventional equipment, but not nuclear weapons.
When this was discussed in media a couple of decades ago, one town after the other declared themselves as 'atom free zones'. It was pointed out that this would make those town awfully empty.

Quality product!
High or low is not specified, but low is most likely.
Made with 100% xxxx.
Could also include xxxx which is not 100%.
Could also claim that the xxxx which is not 100 % contains some 100% xxxx and so it IS made with 100% xxxx! So does not even have 100% xxxx added as a separate ingredient.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

A friend of mine describe his home made product as '4% water'.
He doesn't advertise it in media, though.

Nelek wrote: Lemon drink with 5% natural lemon.
Our local brewery (for both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks) were forbidden to market their lemon soda as 'Real lemon soda'. They objected: Sure, you can't claim that is is a 'lemon drink' unless it contains at least 5% lemon. Their 'Lemmy' soda contained 8% lemon!
After three quarters of a year, the court decided to let them sell their 'Lemmy' again, provided they market it as 'Lemon soda' - not as 'Real lemon soda' ...

This is actually a thing--
You pick the fruit before it's ripe, and expose it to ethylene gas to ripen it.
You can do this yourself by putting unripe apples in a paper bag with a ripe banana, apple, or other fruit. The ripe apple gives off ethylene that hastens the ripening of the other apples.
It's also the reason why one bad apple can spoil a barrel of them.

When the salesguy tries to persuade you this is the same type of mattress NASA uses for its astronauts.
OK, but I'm never going to bring this mattress in a zero-G environment. How is this bullet-point of any value to me?
