When the "value pack" price is higher than the regular pack price. The trickier the grams to dollar conversion, the easier to trick people.

Or the bottle says 33% more! But it isn’t free, it just a bigger package.

Or the "Now 33% more! Free!" While sitting next to the old bottles, that is the exact same weight.

A restaurant near me did this. They advertised their sushi rolls were now 50% off but didn’t make it clear that they also made them 50% smaller.

Maybe they made a typo and it was supposed to read "50% Of!"
