The Fine Print

I like reading the fine print on packages. Like the chicken I bought yesterday - In large print, the package proudly declared that no hormones or steroids were added to the chicken (or something to that effect, I didn't write it down), followed by a tiny astrisk. I followed the astrisk to the tiny print at the bottom and learned that "federal regulations prohibit adding hormones or steroids to the chicken." Wow, their chicken complies with the minimal standards of the law! They deserve a medal!
But the one that really has my head spinning is on the package of flushable wet wipes that the kids use to wipe their bums. I bought it because it can be easier for the kids to wipe their own bums when they are learning (ok, so I'm not really entrusting that task to Charlie yet). I figured that it would be easier just based on logic that a wet wipe would work better than dry toilet paper. But Pampers took it one step further: "Cleans up to 30% better than toilet paper" the package tells me. 30% A specific percentage makes me think they did some scientific, measurable, quantitative research to determine this. But I ask myself - How does one measure this type of cleanliness? And who wants to do this type of research?
