Perhaps "Tesla Autopilot" can be the first Marketing Lie to vanish from the list: "Almond Milk", "Veggie Patties", "RNA Vaccine"...

And the plethora of USA Liar Laws such as the "Patriot Act", "Inflation Reduction" bill...

Until then, we live in a country owned by Marketers and Lobbyists, and Elon Musk can call his AI cars Self-Driving* as long as he likes

If you think the language around "Almond Milk" needs to vanish, you may be the victim of recent big dairy marketing efforts, yourself. Plant based milks have been a thing in cultures around the globe for thousands of years: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/nut-milks-are-milk-sa...

I don't care about Autopilot and instead want to comment on some of the rest of your list. What are you going on about?? Veggie Patty is not a marketing lie in the slightest. It's a patty. It's made of plants. That's about as straight-forward as possible. The mRNA vaccines do in fact make use of mRNA; no lie there. Almond milk is a fine name. It's milk from an almond in the dictionary definition of the word. Really struggling to understand what you're getting at here...

Okay I'll bite, how are black beans/soybeans/seitan, formed and fried, then served on a bun a conspiracy theory?
