    ELI5: “Up to 100” means “<=100”. So 0% still falls in that range. Could even be negative (counter-productive).

      As long as you have the ability to speak, the phrase ‘Im up to 100% dead’ will be true.

      At least you know it will never over-work. (What ever does?)

        I guess if it over-performs you could always return it as defective.

          Places where it would work well:

          In packaging of toned milk:
          “Max Fat content: 4%” can be “Up to 4% fat”
          Similarly, in packaging of full cream milk:
          “Min Fat content: 6%” can be “6% or more fat”

          Upto x or more is just useless garbage.

    “up to 100% effective” just means it’s almost guaranteed not to be 100% effective except by accident in very rare cases lol

    My baby has diapers that say “up to 100% leakproof”. It does not help my confidence in the product.

      The fight scene is one of the best ever, and inspired the Cripple Fight in South Park (which is an almost perfect recreation of the scene.)
