An SMBC comic. A yellow banner across the top reads "MARKETING STRATEGY: IMPLICATE THE COMPETITION WITH UNIQUE GUARANTEES." Below, three jars of purple jelly sit on a grocery shelf labeled "JELLIES," with a person's face peering at them from the right. The first jar's label boasts "0% FAT!", the second "0% CHOLESTEROL!", and the third escalates to "0% SKIN FROM A DEAD HOBO'S MOUTH!" The joke: a guarantee that's technically true but implies the competing jars might contain something horrifying. The votey (bonus panel) shows another jar label reading "CONTAINS NO ASSBLOOD!", pushing the gross-out one-upmanship further.
