Still limited. But "unlimited" to most people

In the same way your next-door supermarket has effectively "infinite soup cans" for the needs of most people.



Unlimited means for a flat rate. Pay per use/item, like at the supermarket, isn’t it.


Still, you can't get "unlimited" soup cans from your next door supermarket even paying


Which is why they don’t sell it as “unlimited.” The gripe isn’t that there are limits, it’s that it’s sold as “unlimited” but there are limits.


Which to any reasonable person (and it's on the fine print) should mean reasonable limits

But I guess some people do really need "Eggs: contain eggs" in their egg carton otherwise they will throw a legal fit


Right, it’s our fault for not understanding their lies.
