Sounds like marketing bullshit to me. It does not have even statistical meaning; well, you can "save" a lot of satoshis, but nobody tell you that the merchant cut you on BTC/USD exchange rate in tens of %.

Payment protocol should not contain these fictional data, which has no real meaning for the payment itself. Put these marketing claims to memo field instead...

The user knows the price that is on the website or menu, they know the price they actually paid ... if the numbers don't add up that would seem to be pretty easily detectable. But sure it's only for marketing. 狢 think the comment makes it clear it's just for fun.
