The "Full" in "Full Self Driving" was one of the giveaways. It's like packaged food labeled with "Real" ("Real cheese" etc)

Not sure I agree with your second sentence, at least in the US. I may see "cheese product" or "dairy product" or "cheese flavor" but if it says real cheese, it's real cheese. My favorite example was seeing "onion (then in tiny text 'flavored') rings"

  • It may be real cheese, but the cheese may not be where you expected it to be. A friend of mine was served a snack pack on a flight that had some breadsticks and a cheese dip, and the box said it was made with real cheese.

    She read the ingredients list and found that the real cheese was part of the breadsticks. The cheese dip had no cheese.

  • No, you see, if it says "cheese" then I would assume it's real cheese. If it says "real cheese" I'm immediately suspicious.

  • The point is that if you have to say it's made with real cheese, the food is complete junk. Even though the cheese may technically be real.

  • They even banned the term "soy milk"

    It's now called "non dairy soy beverage" on every carton.
