A. advertisements can contain confusing, misleading information.

Commonly, you will see small words flash across the bottom of the screen, these words contain the truth of the statement. This means that the big, colorful words are only a partial truth to the reality of the sale. For example it could be a limited sale on a specific portion of a store like in a jeans section, but only certain brands of jeans will be on sale.
