>However, the thousand "I can't believe it's not butter!" commercials I saw growing up is proof of concept. Fake butter has been big business for a long time and you can find plenty of it at the super market.
That's... a terrible example, man. You said it yourself, the tagline outright announced that it was, in fact, *not* butter. I have never once seen *anything* labeled 'butter' that contained margarine instead.
Yes, you know me as the "food" guy, it's because of the important things to care about in the world right now, the food puritan shit is like #8,238 on the list in order of critical issues, overwhelmingly because this is something you have utterly limitless control over in your own life.
I would love to see HFCS banned, I'd love to see a ton more regulation, and definitely clearer labeling and advertising restrictions, but there's far more pressing issues. The reason is because I have total, absolute control, and really, what other people eat very much doesn't affect me. I have more options at the grocery store than I could imagine. I can even get that disgusting peanut butter you have to swirl the oil in to (yes, it's the most pure peanut butter you can get, but god is it fucking gross).
This place gets angrier about what someone eats than it does whether or not they haven't stepped foot in a gym or run more than a tenth of a mile in years and is something I love to point out - this whole issue is fabulously overblown.
You should be angrier that "P.E." functionally *doesn't exist in school* anymore and I've never seen a single post about it.
> The irony of this is they literally say in the tagline it is not butter. There was no deception. That might be the worst example you could find.
Deception or not, my point with this example was about fake butter. But if I'm being honest I still don't think you should be able to sell "butter flavored spray or spread". It's fucking gross.
And come on. You know as well as I that's a fucking jewish lawyer language trick when they say *"I can't believe it's NOT real butter"*. Done both for advertising effect, and heeb lawyer coverage. *"We can say butter 50 times and show butter, but because we have the NOT in there, we're golden!"*
Tiresome small hat language drivel conjured up specifically to sell bullshit like this.
