Shopping at Party City, Jeff noticed this odd sticker. It advertises discounts of “up to 75% off” and that the item retails at $9.99 and now costs $10. Only that’s not really the confusing part.

“What a bargain,” Jeff writes. “Retails for $9.99 and on sale for up to 75% off. It’s now only $10.00.”

To be fair, the sticker says “up to 75% off,” and a penny difference is -.1% off. -.1 is definitely less than 75.
