I have found just the opposite. I have gained about 10% in weight since I retired and my pay went down by 50%. Go figure.

:mmmm:

50% MORE. Really had math majors dream up this label. Pretty slick. Shoppers may think it's 50% free ! Not so, but the label did catch my eye.

Of course 12 oz. to 18 oz. is 50% more, but the price for 12 oz. bottle is 28 cents/oz. and, 18oz bottle is 30 cents/oz who's the dummy. Read the shelf labels for the true cost per lb. , oz. etc
I always like the ones that say "NOW 50% MORE"..then in fine print (than our leading competitor)

Here's an old article from "Mouseprint", a site that tracks down sizing etc. Better than average place to keep abreast of some of the latest sales gimmicks.
