Wait, “hot deal” and “originally” get around this?? How literally is that law worded?? “Hot deal” is definitely just a synonym but “originally” is even more explicitly a lie than “on sale”!
“Originally” just means it used to be that price. at some point, not that it’s still the regular price.
That’s something that might be used on an older model laptop or cell phone.
“Hot Deal” can me something that’s considered valuable even at regular price. The Black Friday products that are produced specifically to be cheap for Black Friday can fall into this category. I worked at a retailer that had $10 blue jeans shipped in just for that sale every year, so $10 was their regular price even though they were a “good value”.
