It’s been a while since I worked retail but unless something has drastically changed most people don’t read product packaging very closely. I would constantly have people walk up to me with an item and ask a question that was not only clearly answered on the package, but the information was _highlighted_ for them. I just don’t think most people would even notice the cost breakdown let alone read it and think about what the information means.

You're sure it's most people? The people coming to ask you questions are a self selected set...
People have been ignoring the highlighted bullshit on the package since long before they were pop-up ads on the internet
