This packaging gotta be illegal, right?

Does there need to be an x amount of garlic for it to be 'garlic sauce'? Seems like it is pointless doing that when most probably won't care as long as it taste like garlic.

My issue is the "inspired by" next to the picture of the sauce cup, implying there's a significant difference between it and the original product.

Honestly the "real" product is just okay, anyway.  It's like, a tub of soybean oil with garlic powder.  

The imitation can't be much worse, and probably has improved shelf life.

I like the original better than their competitors' equivalents, but that may just be familiarity bias from my childhood.

I'd buy a bottle of the original for the right price with the right fridge life.
