8:48 am
>> really serves no function at all, and it is just deceiving to the customer, you think you're buying a bigger quan at this at this, because the package is bigger. >> even name for it. slack fill. >> you just have false size or false bottoms, that's trying to make the product look bigger than it really is. >> in september, cvs agreed to pay $225,000 to settle charges in california that had misled consumers by selling store brands beauty products in oversized packaging. when "3 on your side" went shopping, we found several cvs brand items like this anti-wrinkle and firming cream, where the package wag much larger than the product. so how much packaging is too much? >> which would you think would contain the most product inside the box? >> this one. >> okay, why? >> because of the box is the biggest. >> yet, these these cvs boxes contain the same amount -- same amount of product, 1.7 ounces. >> i don't know false advertising, it is little more deceptive.

packaging to ensure compliance with regulations, and to provide a better consumer experience. reporting for "3 on your side", i'm jim donovan. >> and providing a better weather experience, our weather watchers, they're up early today. let's take a look, see what they're finding in their locations, gregg wood says still cloudy but moving out toward the coast, from upper township, new jersey, and i am proving trends, we like that. we move up the coast, and see if we get some verification from tim mitchell. 48 degrees, and he says the clouds are thinning. because we've got a light west southwest breeze. >> speaking of the coast, dealing with just bit in the way of clouds, but, as our weather watchers noted, these clouds are on their way out. so things starting to improve this morning. it also looks very nice, as we take a look at center city philadelphia this morning. we have got the blue skies,
8:51 am
and couple of interesting clouds, that's it. i think the rest of the day we should be seeing these clouds get farther and farther away, so they move out more into the ocean, which is good. out in reading already it is bright, beautiful there. so the farther north and west you go, the more light you're seeing brighter start to the day. 47 degrees, out in reading, at this point. as everything seems to be quiet, and the kids are home, can't wait for monday morning. and back to school. 46 degrees out at the airport, we've kept this temperature for hours now through philadelphia, 40 in trenton, 37 in allentown, 40 degrees in the poconos, we move to the south, it is ooh degrees in wildwood already. so, temperatures will be climbing and will get into the 50's today. yesterday, in philadelphia, we stopped at 50 degrees. that was it. the weather was exhausted by that point. could not, could not give us another agree. but i think today, it is more of a marathon, it will be able to make it to 56, 57 degrees. storm scan3, some clouds, especially to the east of philadelphia, the clearing skies to the west. and that is the trend, those
8:52 am
clouds should be moving on out with these temperatures staying in the 50's today. high pressure staying around the area. and high pressure, welcome to be here again tomorrow, and tuesday, which is fine, it can stay as long as it wants. but it does tend to want to move out of here. tomorrow, we will find temperatures way up in the 50's, in fact, so high, that they might not even be called the 50's any more. it could be 60, 61 degrees or so monday. tuesday, we are well into the 60s. the warm up comes the first part of the week. this front means that we cool down, the second part of the week. temperatures, not bad today. they get better over the short-term. and sky conditions, not looking bad. 1:00 o'clock this afternoon, ribbon of clouds perhaps closer to the shore. otherwise, we have fine conditions today, tomorrow, sunshine, tuesday for the most part sunshine, but, does the weather system off the coast bend back few clouds? we'll see. maybe the clouds are here on wednesday but even wednesday look to be pretty mild day.
8:53 am
later, wednesday night, colder air starts to come down from canada, lou cool us down by the end of the week so that the highs go from the 60s, to the 40's, within a day. so, colder air is out there. not so much today though. we're on the incline on this roller coaster. 56 degrees, philadelphia, 55 at the shore, the poconos, 48 degrees. mostly sunny, in all locations, looks great, on tuesday, veterans day, and 65 degrees. so, nice looking day, shaping up that day. and today, our wind out of the west about five to 10 miles an hour. tonight we drop down 40 degrees, not bad night coming up for us tonight, and then tomorrow, 60 degrees, we get some sunshine, tuesday, looks at this point like mostly sunny skies. wednesday, we get maybe few clouds, but some sunshine later on, 06 degrees, and then cooling down, a lot, 35 wednesday night, thursday, friday, it is in the four's, saturday, it the the 40's for highs, maybe shower friday morning. we'll continue to monitor that
