    I've seen candy that literally consists only of sugar, coloring, and preservatives with a big "Zero Fat!" faux sticker like the redfarm one.

    Hell, in the US (and possibly other places, but of the 7 countries on 3 continents I've been to, I've only seen it in the US) they sometimes proudly announce "ARTIFICIALLY FLAVORED" as if it's a humongous health benefit 🤦🏻

    I worked in a tourist town that had some of those tour trollies driving around it all the time. It wasn't exactly cutthroat, but one guy thought it was because he charged twice what everyone else did.

    He started advertising his company as "American owned and operated!" - implying that the other two companies weren't. They were. Didn't matter, people would ask about "oh, so who owns this company?" like it was some gotcha, then I'd tell them about the owner of ours, and how he's from the town and his father was a veteran and not to believe everything you read.

    Moreso to not assume things that were never said.

    It's the whole, "I like pancakes", "oh so you hate waffles?" kind of thing. Much worse logical mistake than believing what you read, IMO.

    Easy enough to debunk lies when they're written down. Much harder to debunk lies that come from within your own head.

    My wife had jury duty last week, and I told her she should wear a shirt that said “Ask me about jury nullification.”

    Walk around town wearing a shirt that says “Not a pedophile.”

    You will definitely not regret wearing a shirt that says Not a pedophile.

    That's odd. When I wear my "Not a serial killer" shirt, I don't get any questions. Or any conversation for that matter.

    It does make the supermarket checkout lane move extra fast tho...
