I might be stupid, but doesn’t “double” mean there’s more of it?

    Not supporting this marketing, because its bullshit. but

    They could double the chocolate but also double the cookie dough

    Thus technically you’re getting double, and its still 40% of the cookie.

    Its just you also get double the dough.

      Actually if the number is based on the amount of dough than you’d get the same conclusion, so that also makes no sense (it’s still “40%”).
