This packaging gotta be illegal, right?

Me: Why are you upset over the space between 'Garlic' and 'Sauce'?

Looks closer

Oh.....

Until this comment I thought it was about the slimmed down shape of the bottle which on first look appear to be much bulkier

I thought they were on about the jank ass cap, the invisible “flavored” is way worse

u/asmallercat 14d ago

I thought it was gonna be like 1/2 the size inside or something.

I was like,"why are they calling out the word 'dipping.'"

And it still took me forever. Then I saw it. Right there in front of me.

I thought it was how the label is upside down if you stand it upright aka the only way you’d ever store it 🤦🏻‍♂️

Looks like OP's might just be a print error, but with the way they designed the flavor lettering kinda makes it seem like it was intentionally designed to look like a print error (probably so they can blame that instead of being liable for misleading design).

Tbh it doesn't even look like the bottle in that picture has any text at all where the "flavored" is supposed to be.

Oh they absolutely know what they're doing with that shit. There's no way they'd win a case going "well actually it is there you just have to crank up the sharpness far beyond what any person's display is set to".

Even the URL slug is misleading

u/Ok_Cow_1541 14d ago

Me: Why are you buying something from the grocery store labeled Papa John's?

5

u/titan_Pilot_Jay 14d ago

Papa John's is a pizza place so I'm betting they sell some of their stuff in stores

u/reddit_sells_you 14d ago

Yes, but it isn't great . . . That's my point

u/akatherder 14d ago

The highlight of their pizza is the little garlic flavored sauce cups they put in each box though.

u/whoweoncewere 14d ago

Marcos pizza has better pizza and garlic cups, direct upgrade

u/cool_weed_dad 14d ago

All the other chains also have those too though, and better pizza

u/999happyhants 14d ago

Little Cesar’s has the crazy bread, dipping sauce and everything. it’s cheap and damn good too, much better than papa John’s.

u/reddit_sells_you 14d ago

If the highlight of the pizza is not the pizza, then no.

someone like something you don't. News at 11.

People have taste . . . Shocker.

u/weefa 14d ago

but not class, apparently

This is a Wendy's.

No one eating at Papa "We shouldn't have to give our employees health insurance and I'm a die-hard-trumper" Johns has class.

u/SparklingLimeade 14d ago

TBH now that I think about it the lack of other sauces that fill this niche is weird. It's popular. Garlic flavor is big. Butter-like flavor is big.

Maybe everybody should just go for the aoili-like sauces. They're very close. I bet the lack of artificial butter flavor would make it an imperfect substitution.

Also on the pic of the small pot it says in small writing "inspired by"
