My favourite is when they label something that's already high in protein, by default, as "HIGH PROTEIN!"

I'm just waiting for Apple to sue Kraft for its protein Mac and Cheese, which they're calling "Power Mac."
For those too young to remember, the Power Mac was Apple's desktop workstation. Its modern equivalent would be the Mac Pro, or the Mac Studio. Some Power Macs featured a full PC daughterboard and a keyboard shortcut to literally turn it into a PC. So you're in System 7 or Mac OS 8 or whatever it ran, then you do Shift+⌘+X and a PC is booting up, running MS-DOS or Windows 95. The Mac part just went away. Do the key shortcut again and you go right back where you were. It was literally two machines in one. Thing was wild.
The fiber wave has already started swelling.
To be fair, that has been a recommendation from experts for decades.
But yeah, now you got oat milk advertising itself as being a source of fiber, just because it's slightly less terrible than cow milk. My oat milk pack has 9g of fiber in a whole liter. Eat a fraction of a salad and you've easily got more than that...
Funny story, "protein" in Dutch is just "Eggwhite".
So, I was looking for egg whites, for baking. The brand switched from a bottle to a carton, so I couldn't find it. I asked for it, and after the someone pointed it out to me, another shopper goes "You can just buy egg whites? Then why are we buying extra protein bread?" to their friend/partner/whatever.
And indeed. Why are you, random stranger?
