Not Just a Number: the Effect of 100% Claims on Consumers
We find that participants evaluate products less favorably when those products carry a pseudo-informative 100% claim (e.g., “100% juice”), as compared with a 99% or non-numerical claim, or even a 101% claim. This effect is triggered by enhanced focus on the symbolism of “100%” and decreased reliance on numerical information.
