"People said they were 14.2% more likely to buy this chocolate bar when they were shown the version with a cost breakdown."
What people say they would do and what they actually do are 2 very different things.
The conversion rate of actual behavior needs to be tested for this to mean something useful.

Every single day, 90,000 packages a day go missing in just NYC (per the NYT: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/02/nyregion/online-shopping-....)
We built this product to let you receive your packages at a nearby pickup point...no more worrying about package theft, missed deliveries, or planning your day around when the delivery man is coming. We have ~1,000 locations all around the country.
Just select your location, enter your payment details, and we'll give you your new Ship-To address that you can use right away!
Let us know what you think!

Everyone has a story of getting a package stolen! Esp if living a big city. Let me know what you think of the product, if anything is confusing, etc!

This feels similar to the "MBA cofounder" profile of someone who has the mindset: if I just had an engineer to build my idea then this would be big.
Every engineer knows it doesn't work that way (but many who charge by the hour w/ consulting may be happy to take the job for a while).
