I do quite often, and have been for decades. Along with shopping at foreign/"world" grocery stores, higher end grocery stores, etc. Across several different US markets over the many years.

Once again, got any actual examples of this supposedly incredibly common thing?

yes literally heres from my local market. 20% olive oil yet the main oil is in very light (its even harder to see in real life with how the eye works at a store), and then in big letters OLIVE... yeah this is a great example!

....got anything more than a text description of the product that happens to leave off any actual descriptions? Got a brand name? A variety name? What store sold it? No? Huh weird.

Man they now make almost all olive oil from crude oil! Look, I've got a bottle here, says 100% PURE EXTRA ULTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL* and then you look at the fine print on this bottle and it says "LOL ACTUALLY 100% USED MOTOR OIL GOTCHA!!" This is how all the bottles at every supermarket in my unspecified city is like!

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.
