Objects may disappear behind you........

OK, so I'm browsing throught the laxatives section in the grocery store - killing time - and I spot this box of glycerin suppositories. On the box is a picture of what one of these beasties looks like. Then, in small print, it says under the picture, "pictured smaller than actual size".

Now it's bad enough that you'd be shopping for these bad boys in the first place considering where you have to put them for them to do any good. So to be shown a picture of the thing, then add injury (no pun intended) by indicating that in fact - the little dude is in reality bigger than you were first led to believe.......... Isn't that just wrong? Shouldn't they just create the picture to scale in the first place? Or are they hoping you buy the pint sized projectiles and didn't notice the little disclaimer under the picture? They may as well add the statement: "This won't hurt a bit". Because in fact, it will hurt a lot!
