What’s in a name?

Lately, I’ve started to be more aware of what I eat.  More fruits and vegetables, less twinkies and pizza.  Thus, the reason I picked up a jar of chili at the market the other day labled “95% less fat!”…less fat…that’s a good thing, right?  Then I cracked it open.  Less fat?  No wonder!  No meat!!  That set my beady little mind into a frenzy…what else are we being monkey-jacked into buying?  “New and Improved”.  How do we know?  300 different versions of Tide detergent on the shelf - “Tide with bleach”, “Tide with bleach alternative”, “Tide with Downey”, “Tide with Fabreeze”, “Tide with 7 new essential cleaning ingredients”.  How do we know???  It could all be the the same damn detergent with different labels, and different prices…How many times every day are we getting screwed by the Marketing fiends at these companies?  The next time you’re at the market, you’ll know if I’m there - I’ll be the guy in aisle 3 with the litmus paper and centrifuge…
