It highlights products like "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter," which despite its name, contains no actual butter, and "Tofurkey," a tofu-based product that mimics turkey but contains no turkey meat. Other deceptive products include "Minute Rice," which takes longer than a minute to cook, and "Swiss Miss," which is not made in Switzerland. The article also mentions "Kellogg's Corn Flakes," originally marketed as a health food but high in sugar, and "Velveeta," which is not real cheese. Additionally, it covers "Cool Whip," a non-dairy whipped topping, "Boca Burgers," which are meatless but designed to taste like meat, "Smart Balance," which claims to be heart-healthy but contains trans fats, and "Pringles," which are marketed as potato chips but contain only a small percentage of actual potatoes. The article emphasizes the importance of reading labels to understand what is truly in the food we buy.
