Except they got hungry a little later and sank

I think they consider the pen and the cap 2 separate pieces

Wow!

Definitely!

Just like all Panera soup bowls.

If everyone returned it they would rethink their dauchery

Should not be allowed. Disgusting rip off.

AND make them bulge or of the box

You did get scammed

It is illegal in Europe..

This is partly necessary due to the amount of product information (including ingredients) that by law have to be on the packaging.

It states clearly on the box how much product is inside. Many times a smaller product container will be in a larger outer container so that it's easier to handle, more difficult to lose, etc

Not in America apparently

Actually I don't think it's illegal 🤔 If the outer packaging tells you how many milliliters there are, I believe they're "safe". I've seen this here in Norway, and it might be because it's way more expensive to make a machine that produces many different sized boxes.

Again, the beauty industry are masters of screwing purchasers with misleading packaging

Yes, I was completely baffled. How is this ok? This is a complete rip off

This kind of deception should be illegal.

If it is illegal in Europe, why is it not illegal in the USA? The answer probably has something to do with loving capitalism so much that government allows scamming like this. The company makes a good profit off of these so IT'S OK according to the government.

What???

I’m guessing that b/c they likely have the ounces printed on the pkg. Like the avg consumer could make sense of THAT!!!

Always look at the weight and/or fluid amount. If it doesn't reasonably match the packaging. Then don't buy or open it up.

Illegal practically every where but here.

One of the biggest reasons they do things like this for expense items id that if it were left in a small package, it gets easily pocketed by theives, making the need to package with larger boxed or lock up of product to avoid rising costs for the store or store closings due to loss of profit...quite unfortunately.

I see this all the time in the US.

So many medications are packaged like this. It's disgusting

Oh yea I've gotten over the counter face cream/acne medication like that before

It’s not illegal here because someone’s making a buck!!

This is why we have climate change. All this c**p is being dumped and if lucky will degrade. Why not package for the size? Why does the company feel the need to defraud? Maybe cause,if we saw the actual size they'd be forced to lower th we price.

Son of a b***h!!

This sort of 'marketing' behaviour highlights the disparity between 'capitalism' and US GOP 'winner takes all' capitalism!!

But as long as they say how much (grams/ml) is inside it's ok with me.

Because Americans are stupid and we'll put up with anything corporations throw at us. And we will defend to the death their "right" to rape us economically.

This one is the best one so far

They do something similar with Beats by Dre. The technology is very lightweight, but people want heft.

Had this happen to me too

How cheap can you get

I think the flight attendant got a bit peckish....

Banana would be a better comparison...

I promise I'm not trying to be rude! But people actually enjoy these? When I eat them I'm having the worst time of my life until they turn sweet!

I'm just flabbergasted by all this!!!

It should be called mostly full
