Title: "FAT FREE" A great marketing gimic, or the greatest marketing gimic of all time?
Post by: drozmight on December 22, 2006, 09:13:57 PM

Oh man! Fat free?! Those must be healthy... and they won't make me fat at all... I'll take 40, please! :)

YOU'RE STILL GONNA GET FAT! And if you're already fat, you'll get fatter.


Best marketing phrase of all time.

Fat free usually means a huge amount of carbs anyway, so it all depends on what you're watching and how much you care.

The new LAY'S chips we got in at work are made with 100% sunflower oil or something. They're in new bags and it says that on the bags, and I'm like, "who cares?"

100 Calorie Packs are even worse.

Let's buy a 100 calorie dark chocolate candy bar... that also has like 28% DV of saturated fat. Healthy! :lol

um...

wait, what?

Don't you hate it when you find out you've been spelling a word wrong all your life because you never thought for a second you were spelling it wrong? But you corrected me Solo, and ruined my whole life. My life has been one giant lie! Kill me now God. I am not worthy. Break me like glass O Lord, and buy my sister a Mercedes Benz.

My face hurts from me punching it. Time for bed.
