Advertising "Who do you think you're fooling?"

Advertising "Who do you think you're fooling?"
Ok, today I went shopping, and  I just noticed buying the bag of generic store brand frozen chicken wings, not vacuum sealed, on the bag it said, "Glazed in ice to insure freshness".......

OH BULLSHIT, that really means, "We still want you to buy this even if it has freezer burn."

No,  I am not saying one should never buy frozen anything, that is fine, I do it all the time. But don't try to blow smoke up my ass. 

You can tell with clear packaging when something is simply frozen, and when it gets fuzzy ice, which means it is been on the shelf for too long. Everyone knows what frozen is.

Ice glazing is actually a thing. It helps protect against freezer burn.

Yea I am sure that IS certainly a marketing tool sure. So is calling a slimy shell animal "escargot".

I have bought that particular generic brand in that exact bag for almost a decade, no, it does not stop freezer burn. Vacuum then frozen is a far better method. It is just wording to extend the ability to sell sell it. I am quite sure it wont give anyone food poisoning no, but it won't taste as fresh either.

Did you know they also pump carbon monoxide into meats to subdue the population. I haven't eaten supermarket meat in years. Don't let them get you.

Fuck you dick. I just find the marketing silly in this case. It isn't a conspiracy to call fish eggs "caviar" either, but it is still a way to get more money out of people.

That is far different than what firearm company CEOs and their corporate lobby do which IS harmful, in the same way big oil obstructs any law to get us off burning fossil fuels which we need to do. 

Just because I say, "Who are you kidding" does not mean I am claiming JFK was a vampire. I just find the marketing ON THIS PRODUCT silly.

Ice actually does provide a protective layer for tissues, both plant and animal. This is why farmers will often water winter crops just before a freeze - the ice keeps the plants at 0 deg (damage to the tissue- freezer burn -  only occurs below freezing).

If you have live chickens in your home you've got bigger problems than freezer burn.
