Brand written big
What the product is written super tiny
If I could enshrine 1(one) regulation into law it would be to reverse that.
relevant xkcd
Downside is, if you can't understand what's written, you're gonna have a hard time knowing what that product is
"ah, yes, of course. Kukurydza. Just what I needed for my recipe, I think?"
Seriously. It's something about shampoo, hair conditioner, laundry detergent and laundry conditioner especially. The product type is printed as small as the dosage on med bottles.
I went without shampoo for two months because of this. Not my preferred means of hair care. I thought I was buying a twopack of shampoo off of Amazon. I actually bought a combined shampoo+conditioner package. The brand labeling was so prominent I didn't even notice. So instead of applying shampoo+conditioner, I was doing conditioner+a different conditioner. And it wasn't soo bad that it was immediately obvious. But yeah, I've fallen victim to this.
That's another one. Why put dosage inside a book on the side of a medicine bottle. Make that the front page, and if I want to read more... I will
Not to mention, the vast majority of "recommended" amounts are double or quadruple the amount actually needed. You can safely use half as much of just about any cleaning agent and get the same results.
For most loads of laundry you only really need like 2 tbsp of detergent, way less than the amount they tell you to use.
