45 Times the Fine Print on Different Items Was So Misleading

We’ve already discussed the potential ambiguities of the word ‘free.’ I could go ahead and discuss the ambiguities of the word ‘sugar,’ but I’m not sure that it would be productive at this point. And we’ve already talked about how different companies abuse language, so what more is there to say?

I suppose the thing that stands out here is the gamble being taken. The company knows that if you read the ingredients, you’ll see the sugar, and the scam will be exposed, so clearly, they’re relying on customers who do not read the fine print. I suppose the logic dictates that if you already state it’s sugar-free, no one’s going to go looking. Why would we doubt them, right?
