How whip cream is keto because the serving size is 1/2 teaspoon (5mL) and it’s less than 1 calorie (1kcal).
LOL
“Organic” produce, like there could possibly be another kind
“Safe and secure” when it comes to digital transactions. Everything is logged, stored, and saved somewhere where they very often have absolutely fuck all in terms of security and then all that shit is hacked or leaked or otherwise compromised. But its okay, because the government will force them to give you 1 whole year of another bullshit service that does absolutely fucking nothing to protect your data or identity.
“New and improved”. How is it both?
Yes! Yes! At most this means a minor modification of what exists.
If the innovations are truly enough to make it so different, its always marketed as a different product
I don’t see an issue with this, things can be an improvement over their previous version and they would be new on release.
“Dust-free” cat litter.
Not so much a lie but jumping on the bandwagon. A lot of traditional products that never had gluten in them to begin with now show “Gluten Free!” on the label, as if they did something good for you rather than simply redesigning a product label.
I feel like in that case it’s more like “We now double-check this food wasn’t made in the same area as foods with gluten”. Cross-contamination can be a pita for celiacs
I honestly do not trust those labels without proof

“Our roll of toilet paper is equivalent to 234 rolls of our competitor’s toilet paper!!!1”
- as compared to one standard economy roll last produced in 1967
“No preservatives” - Sugar is a preservative. Salt is a preservative. Vinegar is a preservative. Lemon juice is a preservative.
“Sugar-free” - but they add alternative sweeteners that have a range of other health issues associated with them.
“Cholesterol-free” - I once saw this on a juice container and had a laugh.
What people don’t realise is that with food formulation, what you take out, you have to put something back in to replace it. A low/no sugar product will likely be higher in something else like fat to make it a palatable product… So labels make claims on some things, but will purposely not mention the others.
Cholesterol-free is such a bullshit label anyway because dietary cholesterol doesn’t do anything special to your own cholesterol. You are not a chicken and the egg yolk will not go directly to your bloodstream. Your blood has human cholesterol that you made yourself from the rest of the sugars and fats you ate, digested, converted, stored, and reeconverted.
Let me introduce you to “Gluten Free”. On a sausage.
I give “gluten free” a pass because it’s not always obvious. Some people do have very severe reactions and some products do, unsuspectingly, contain gluten in the form of filler content or for some other mechanical use. Sausage is specifically known to use wheat product as filler and binder. Same for deli meats and veggie burgers. Some places will even throw breadcrumbs into their ground beef for burgers to fake it’s tenderness, so it crumbles like a meatloaf would.
Then there’s seasonings. Potato chips are made from potatoes, right? But not all chips are potato chips. You’d hope a gluten-issue person would be able to identify pita chips or bagged crackers from the chips selection would have gluten, but it turns out, despite being a corn chip, Dorito dust can affect gluten sensitivities. Soy sauce and malt vinegar are issues, and seasoning mixes use flour to help distribution
Biodegradable
Where it just turns in to smaller and smaller pieces of plastic until it’s tiny enough to enter your bloodstream
Also the plastic-free ones that only degrade in industrial processes.
PFAS-free. There is just another similar chemical in it that hasn’t been regulated yet.
Same with BPA free. There are like 200 chemicals in that family, BPA is just one, they just switched to another chemical.
Lifetime* Waranty

“ethically sourced,” “free range” amongst others for meat and dairy products.
At this point, everything the meat and dairy industry claims.
“No E-numbers”. They are correct. I looked through the food inside and there was not a single number anywhere.
Not really a blatant lie but more pandering to the scary unknowns of a standardisation of specifying the ingredients.
Environmentally friendly
Marginally less environmentally destructive than the previous version
