Soapbox stashed.
The "classic" I have is sitting here in my kitchen - the last bottle of Ajax liquid dish soap (64 oz) has in big bold print at the top: "33% MORE vs (in small letters) competitor's 48 oz" - - - - What ??????? It is getting a little weird out there.

They are assuming that no one is going to check, but happen to have a calculator handy - 48 x 33% = 15.84, add 48 to 15.84 and you have 63.84. Supposedly when the stores list a unit price for items, it makes the consumer able to choose wisely! Uh-huh...
