New Formula with 133% less Carb!!

我同事今天在吃一种Nutrition Bar的时候,我扫了一眼他的包装,上面有这么一句广告:“New Formula with 133% less Carb!!!”

嗯............................... Interesting............................... Just how the hell can you have 133% less ??!!!!!!!

原则上讲,任何东西最多就是100% less。 You can never have more than 100% less of something. 如果这个“133% less”是真的话, 就是说这东西含有负数的碳水化合物。 It’s basically sucking away the carb in your body. I guess the more you eat, the closer you are to become a mummy. 我把这事和同事一说,他也哈哈大笑。他也承认他当时也觉得这"133% less” sounds kinda funny, but didn’t know why,而且因为这个133%的广告听起来非常强悍,他才买的。好一个虚假广告的受害者啊。

所以我一直相信这一条金科玉律: If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is too good to be true.
