How whip cream is keto because the serving size is 1/2 teaspoon (5mL) and it’s less than 1 calorie (1kcal).

15 minutes could save you 15% or more. Not will, could. We already knew that it had to be either greater than, less than, or equal to 15% because that covers everything
“New and improved”. How is it both?
I don't see an issue with this, things can be an improvement over their previous version and they would be new on release.
"Sugar free" on things that are mostly sugar because the serving size given isn't great enough to overcome a rounding down to zero.

"No tears" is just a play on the English language. It doesn't mean your eyes won't tear up and let water out, it means your hair won't tear into pieces.
I remember L'oreal Kids shampoo commercials (like 25 years ago) very specifically showed kids happily wiping suds out of their eyes when "NO TEARS!" showed up on the bottom of the screen, clearly to exploit this misunderstanding

"AI increases productivity"
Very specific, but pre-sharpened straight razors (think Sweeny Todd) are not that. They're still pretty sharp, but not sharp enough to shave with.

More and more I'm seeing blatant lies in marketig, which wasn't as prevalent a few years back - at least not through mainstream advertising companies.
Don't get me wrong, these companies, products and adverts existed since the beginning of the internet but we're usually shunned enough by advertisers that you'd only encounter them on sites that... couldn't use your average advertising networks. Say, porn sites. Which, to be fair, are still chock full of "grow your dick 6 inches in 12 days" kind of ads...
But the fact that Facebook, Google, Amazon, and even Microsoft are getting away with pushing the exact same scam ads - but now wrapped in almost reputable looking companies' branding - is what I find blood-boiling.
Every single social media is now full of this crap. If it's not dick growth pills, it's magic anti-hairloss solutions coming from some sketchy manufacturer in China that disappears within 3-4 weeks (and of course they upcharge for the "3 month guaranteed success or your money back" guarantee), the various dietary supplements, most of which are absolutely unnecessary for most people but they'll push it with absurd claims, or the workout apps that promise to take you from BMI 40 to visible abs in 12 weeks, or the various dropshippers that sell "miracle" inventions that are available literally on Amazon for a fraction of the price (and even cheaper on AliExpress), or the sham weight loss products, I could go on.
I just find it insane that previously respectable companies are now milking the snake oil "business" so hard and nothing is being done against it.
"Green" products in general
"Keto friendly". There's a guy on YouTube who shows the effects of different foods on his blood sugar, and one brand of supposedly "keto" tortillas had almost the same effect as white bread.

"Fat Free", example: cooking spray. It's literally fat in a spray can. "Vegan Leather", it's plastic. And vegans are not consuming plastic.
