You're confused the "Violi Mediterranean Blend Italian Sunflower & Extra Virgin Olive Oil" isn't purely olive oil? Really?

To be honest though, I've never come across this. Apparently its sold at HEB.

Its also kind of crazy it took this many replies for someone to actually link a real product they're talking about.

Either way, I still feel like this isn't breaking my standard. Its pretty obvious from the packaging what it is. "I've never encountered a bottle of oil in the US suggesting its olive oil when its really a blend". Its not hiding its a blend at all. Its on the face of the bottle, announcing its a blend is in an even bigger font than "OLIVE OIL". The person I replied to said the fact it was a blend was hardly legible. It was immediately obvious to me this was a blend.

You can't be honestly claiming that this packaging isn't designed precisely to confuse people not looking to closely into thinking that this is olive oil.
