The biggest commercial/marketing scams that aren't generally recognized as such

I don't mean scams like miracle fat reducing pills or disease "cures" but......well, for example:



- gluten free stuff

- the "organic" thing

- Greek yogurt

- and the one which brought this thread idea to mind: the "granola" thing. Most granola products I've ever seen have precious little nutritional value (and often plenty of sugar).
