Fresh Tasting Cashews.

I was driving on 40 the other day and a truck came up beside me.  It was a famous nut vendor with a lovely delicious photograph of some scrumptious cashews and three words.  Fresh tasting cashews.

Does anyone else have an issue with this description?  Fresh...good, Cashews...good, tasting...huh?

So, they aren't really fresh they just taste that way?

What else are you trying to pull over on us food distribution individual?  Have you ever seen something that isn't really chocolate it is chocolate flavored but there is no actual chocolate in it?  LIARS!!!

Having worked in the advertising world I am well aware of the sneaky ways that are used to make people let go of their hard earned money.

25% off and $25 off a $100 purchase?  Which one do you think is better?  Well, if you are spending $100 they are exactly the same but if you only need to spend $50 and then you buy $50 more to receive the $25 back then you are out $25 that you wouldn't have necessarily spent whereas if you have a 25% off coupon you will receive $12 plus change dollars off your purchase and you go home with more money in your pocket and less stuff that makes you look like a hoarder.

The reason I'm going off on this tangent is that it bothers me!!  Deceit and half truths are still lies!!  Don't be putting buttercream on that lie you are presenting to me because once I bite into that crap your trying to push past me I'm going to realize it.

The thing is though the general public falls for it every single day!!  For 25 cents you can biggie size your drink but if you are eating in you can buy the small drink and get as many refills as you want!!

I'm on to you people!!!
I clearly need to go to bed.
