It's because our brain can't handle large numbers very well.

Quick, picture 500 mints in a bowl.

Chances are, every person who reads that will think of an amount that is drastically far from 500.

By taking it down to 499, it forces your mind to think "less than 500", meaning you'll imagine a smaller number, making you more likely to buy it.


I watched a documentary on supermarkets once.

Ooh, you're right, that's interesting. When you said "Quick, imagine a bowl of 500 mints!" in my mind's eye it had maybe... 50 mints? It was just a tiny little bowl, like maybe one you might put soy sauce in. Maybe three inches in diameter? I just have a tiny little circular bowl of mints like that sitting in my room, so it's the first thing I think of haha.

Is your stupidity a recent development, or am I just not realizing it until now?
