The flip side, of course, is that there's only so much room on a package
(especially smaller ones), and the more information you include, the
less likely it is that the average shopper will bother to read it or be
able to read it. I already have problems reading the contents info on a
lot of labels because it seems to be printed in the same 2-point Gothic
Invisible font used for the small print on contracts.
