What precisely does 95 percent fat-free mean?

You may think it means "This is a healthy product". In reality what it means is "We don't care about you, at all"

You see, the phrase '95 percent fat-free' implies that the company took 95 percent of their product and, for our benefit, removed all of the fat from it. If they could do that, why didn't they go that extra yard and remove the fat from all 100 percent?

It is because they couldn't be bothered. And just to underline the level of disdain they have for us, they even took the last 5 percent, removed all of the non-fat and replaced it with fat.

So, the gig is up Birdseye. You and your cronies can just cut the flannel, we're not buying it any more, give us 100 percent fat-free, or forget it.
