100% Quality

What the devil does this actually mean?

It seems that 100% is the new nice.  So when you say:

This pizza is 100% quality and 100% tasty.

You’re really saying:

This pizza is really nice.

To me, it’s just lazy.  Would a company say that any of its products were less than 100% quality?  Probably not - unless that was their selling point (e.g. Car for sale.  No engine; no wheels; excessive rust.  Found in woods.  Countless careless owners.  £10.).  So by using 100% something, you’re just wasting space.

A way of making 100% tasty better, would be to do a bit of maths before it.  For instance:

50% cheesey + 50% meaty = 100% tasty

Okay, so it’s not exactly brilliant, but at least you know why the pizza is meant to be so tasty.  You can’t just tell me it’s 100% tasty, because I don’t believe you.  Tell me why Mr Pizza Man.  Tell me why.
