How can a peperonni be 150% pork?????

Question

it tells u this on the back of the pack

Answer 1

no such thing as 150% first of all and as far as it being pork, you can buy turkey bologna, chicken bologna, beef bologna.... why not pork pepperoni???

Answer 2

You are correct, one item cannot have more than 100%, and it is obviously some attempt at hype to get you to buy it and talk about it.  

As far as being able to have more than 100% (i.e., 150%) of a single item... I sense a flame war brewing!  A "War of the Answers", perhaps!?

HTH.

Answer 3

I think perhaps it is just a marketing slogan that they are using to make their point that they have extremely 'porky' pepperoni!

And Miss Rhonda, there is such thing as 150%!

EDIT I don't dispute that something can't have more than 100% purity of a single element, but 150% is quite correct to use in some contexts ie. profits rose 150% or 1000% or whatever!
