A small matter and in the great scheme of things, trivial but still v annoying!
AIBU? I bought a jar of Options chocolate drink powder with a '50% EXTRA FREE' emblazoned across the top and in tiny print, adjacent,'198g for the price of 132g'.
Thinking I was going to have half as much again as my usual jar (of 220g), I was surprised once home to see that the jar actually contained 10% less (198g)!
Who knows, when shopping (and usually rushing) how much a jar usually holds. 50% free to me indicates just that.. - 50% additional to the normal amount I usually buy.
I rang the company who told me that instead of having 50% extra as expected - and promised - i.e. 330g, I was receiving a price cut. I paid the same price for both jars.
The only way I was receiving 50% more is if this is based on a jar of 132g but there are no jars sold in the UK with 132g.
This is disingenuous in the very least and once again, the great British public is being taken for a ride. Grrr.
Think twice about buying Options with this banner as you are receiving 10% less, not 50% more!
