They'll just make the tray heavier 🤔

They can, but it wouldn't matter. The weight on the packaging is the weight of the product in the package, not the package itself.

[-] Jake_Farm@sopuli.xyz 1 points 8 months ago

That would be fraud. There are legal requirements for this.

C'mon man, you're almost there. Make one more connection

[-] Jake_Farm@sopuli.xyz -1 points 8 months ago

The type of packaging is not regulated by shape or size. I am not making the claim packaging shouldn't be regulated, just that comparing weight and price ratios will help you not be tricked by this.

will help you not be tricked

Oh, so that's the problem. You don't understand the point of the conversation

[-] Jake_Farm@sopuli.xyz 2 points 8 months ago

I guess I have, I thought this post was criticizing the deceptive packaging.

[-] tehmics@lemmy.world -2 points 8 months ago

Yes, and criticizing is not the same as 'getting tricked by'

[-] Jake_Farm@sopuli.xyz 0 points 8 months ago

Then how did they open the package?

Is packaging material actually cheaper by weight than candy?
