Why YSK: The term "Genuine Leather" is a marketing term to sell the lowest quality leather possible.

When purchasing a leather product, look for full grain leather or top grain leather instead. These will provide a much higher quality cut of leather that will look and feel much better and last for much longer.

"Made with natural and artificial flavors".... So just... made with artificial flavors then...

    You know what's cool about "natural flavors"? They just have to be found in nature to call them that. They can be synthesized in a lab and still be a "natural flavor."

    P.S. don't fall for the naturalistic fallacy. This comment is about tricky vocabulary used by the food industry. Whether or not a chemical is found in nature has nothing to do with whether it is good or bad for you. Arsenic is natural.

    Yup! "All Natural" is just a marketing term, there's no regulations behind it. USDA Organic is a real thing though, farms need to be organic for 7 years to be labeled that, if I recall correctly at least

    Okay so I did debate on whether to use that example, because yeah I'm a skeptic and don't fall for the naturalistic fallacy. But it just happens to be a good example. Such a silly thing, made of "natural" and/or "unnatural" ingredients covers 100% of things lol.
