A 15 pack is 1/15 of a 15 pack per can, and a 12 pack is 1/12 of a 12 pack per can, so…
1/12 * 15/1 = 15/12
15/12 - (12 * 1/12) = 3/12
3/12 * 12/1 = 3 more cans
Yeah, the math checks out.
But also, one can of a 15 pack is 1/15 of a pack, and one can of a 12 pack is 1/12 of a pack, so…
(15 * 1/15) - (12 * 1/12) = 0
Clearly both packs have the same number of packs per pack.
And the cans in the 15 pack are less percentage of a pack than the cans of a 12 pack, and are therefore worth less, which makes them worthless.
Eh, I could see them being like "25% more sounds ridiculous. It's 3 cans."
If anything, I would think they'd want to say 25% more to make it seem like a lot.
And someone had to put an arrow, furthering the sentiment

I've found that the people crying and bemoaning about how stupid everyone else is aren't exactly the sharpest knives in humanity's collective drawer themselves, just grasping at straws for a reason to feel superior.
Wait!
15 = 12 + 3
But also
15 = 18 - 3
Mind….blown!
numbers are reversible like that
18 = 81
it's the same but in Arabic. you're welcome
It reminds me of the gansters in that Mr Show sketch lol
"24 is the highest number! I mean, where are you gonna go from there???"
"...Humans, I mean."
"It's in your nature to be dumb."
"Yeah. Major drag, huh?"
What calculator did you use? And is it's version up to date? We are gonna need you to flash the firmware first to latest.
It's the diabetes more than the math.
My absolute favorite was a Suave shampoo commercial that said, "It's less expensive than more expensive brands."
Ever seen or read 1984? 12+3 = whatever they want
Am I missing something? I don't understand the point that is trying to be conveyed (if there is one).
The idiocy of having to point out that 15 is 12 + 3, because 'mericans r dum.
Brains might autofill “1. …k” as “12 pack” even when it’s “15 pack” - the extra callout helping to draw attention to the reason for the higher price (additional cans).
Difference between something being put for emphasis to attract attention and something being drawn out because your assuming the customer is too stupid to figure it out themselves. I know which option I'm betting on.
Where does the odd number can go in a rectangular box?
3x5?
A box one can wide and one can long is going to blow your mind!
4 x 3 = 12
5 x 3 = 15
Where do you think? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
