Read the little print

Something strange caught my attention this morning. I picked up a pack of mango juice and after taking a swig looked at the labelling. It reads: "free from artificial flavorings, sweetners..." and then when I was just starting to believe them, I looked at the Ingredients section. Lo and behold it reads: Mango,...,flavorings,... Well that came as a shock but well it seems that we can expect more wordplay/blunders/deception like this, unless agencies set up to check excesses of this nature become more effective.


The moral: always read the little print.
