Math FAIL


I snapped a picture of this sign at a local convenience store today. It's something I've wanted to do for many weeks now. See, I've been taking advantage of this sale as much as possible. Although it's not a route I travel every day, I try to stop and buy a couple packs when I can.

Why? Because you save $2 when you buy two packs, which are each discounted a dollar. Granted you have to buy two. But it's not like you can save $1 by buying just one. The only sale is $2 for every two packs. This is nearly the opposite of false advertising. Instead of advertising something better than it is, the sale they're advertising is better than it looks based upon a quick read.
