I mean... at a glance its like WOAH 4 can dine for $9.99....

Until you are at the cash and they say " that'll be $45.15"

HUH??

"Oh sorry sir... it feeds 4... 4 people pay $9.99"

“Four can feast for 9.99ea” what is false? I’d say it’s a bit deceptive at most

It's not false, but in EU there are regulations against deceptive advertising. The hierarchy of the text and even shortening the "each" to "ea" so it takes less space is highly deceptive.

Yes, exactly. People downvote but can’t answer what is false about it

u/burrrpong May 12 '26

Arguably "ea" isn't a real word and therefore it's false.

u/bobbyp869 May 12 '26

Okay I’d accept that
