13.”12 Mini Rolls When Cut Into 4’s”

Alright, here is another box design that begs questions about how on earth they could have considered this to be a good idea. Though in reality the package only had three sausage rolls, they claimed to be selling 12 pack sausage rolls.
Their approach seems to be advising their clients to cut the object themselves, which is somewhat dishonest. This packaging strategy is blatantly meant to fool consumers with clever math and false appearance. The corporation is effectively outsourcing part of their manufacturing process to the customer while still billing for a “12 pack” by advising that consumers cut the rolls themselves. This habit not only fools consumers on the amount they are getting but also places more of portion control’s burden on them. Such misleading packaging undermines customer confidence and might eventually destroy a brand. It also begs issues regarding the integrity of food labelling rules and how businesses could take advantage of weaknesses to promote their goods differently. This case reminds consumers to remain alert and closely review product claims, particularly in cases when offers seem too good to be true. It also emphasises the need of stricter and more exacting packaging rules to stop such false behaviour in the food sector.
