I keep seeing this and it bugs me. The classic example is the Dawn liquid dish liquid. The bottles have pictures of wildlife on the outside with the advertisement that if you buy a bottle of Dawn, they will give $1 to help support/save wildlife.
But it is extremely misleading.
Upon further investigation (reading the small print on the bottle), they will only give the $1 to wildlife if you go online and punch in a code from the bottle. In addition, the company will only give $500,000 total to the fund. If they sell more than 500,000 bottles, they will not give that "$1 per bottle" anymore.
SOOOOOOOO why don't they just say, on the bottle, that they will give 10 bucks, hell say 100 bucks per bottle with the $500,000 cut off.
Or better yet, just give the $500,000 dollars and end it. I dislike how they use "charity" to market their products.
