My neighbor's comment about 'light' olive oil made me check my pantry

We were talking about cooking and he said, 'Light just means flavor, not fat, they're banking on you not knowing that.' I pulled out my bottle and sure enough, the calories per serving were identical to the regular stuff. How many other 'light' labels are just playing on assumptions?

That "light" label trick is EVERYWHERE with stuff like peanut butter and mayo too.

It's actually "lite" for those, not "light". The rules are different for spelling.

Yeah, that label trick is so sneaky.
