My expectations were already low based on the box's physical size, but it still somehow managed to not even meet that

I wonder if it would be legal in America to print "No cyanide!" on the box to make people pick it over other stuff from the sea of frozen garbage.

    We just had a case here (Denmark) where 2 companies were putting a "No PFOA" labels on their frying pans. But they've been told by authorities that that's illegal, because it's misleading advertising since PFOA is illegal in EU.
    Thy got off with a warning, but in case of repeat offenses they will be fined.

    But USA is much different, and many "confuse the consumer" strategies do not seem to be generally illegal "over there".

    As someone with celiac disease, and how much stuff gluten is in (some French fries, soy sauce, tomato soup, etc), I don’t care how ridiculous it seems, I appreciate when manufacturers make it known their shit is gluten free.

    "No added sugars"

    "No added salt"

    "No added preservatives"

    Yup, no cyanide would fit right in.

    My favorite is:

    "No added sugars"

    "No added salt"

    "No added preservatives"

    It's a bag of rice.
