Adventures in bad marketing

I was making an unplanned stop into the Costco near my work a couple of days ago and happened acroess a fairly good deal for USB memory. 3 4GB USB memory sticks with retractable connectors for $30!

12GB of gadgetry

So I picked them up and made it all the way back to my office before I noticed this little gem of a message on the packaging…

No, no, no, it really does say "Now packaged with less plastic":

Well, that’s noble. Let’s see that “less plastic” next to a fairly popular book:

Size: Freakin huge

Really? Less plastic? How much freakin plastic did it used to have?
