  • If you have to hide something about your product, don't sell it.

  • "Okay, how do we say this product will completely blind you if you get it in your eyes?"

  • "How about we say that, blindness is pretty serious and we don't want anyone getting hurt."

  • "But we can't have people looking at the bottle and seeing that they could get blinded and get scared and not buy it.

  • Jeremy, how about we write 'do not let come in contact with face'?

  • But that makes it seem not as serious.

  • Jeremy, make the print really small and put it at the back of the bottom of the product!

  • If you have to hire actors or write a script for people on what to say about your product, don't sell it.
