    In stores in my country you often see signs saying: "Discount: Save -25%" and "A discount of -25% are withdrawn at checkout". I always avoid such arithmetic discounts and insist on going for only 100% checkouts when in the grocery store and elsewhere. I feel that 125% is sligthly over the top ;P

      Similar to commercials which claim that something is x times more effective. The question is, X times more effective than what?

            Do you not want to not save -25%?

              This is only an assumption, but it's probably X times ZERO. Maybe ZERO is a product name and that's why they don't say it.
