The site uses generic value proposition cliches such as when you need it most, before any meeting, and after any meal. The template fingerprint is high, with standard sections for Our Story and Our Products that, in this instance, contain no unique or specific substance. While the CURIOUSLY STRONG trademark is unique, the supporting copy could be applied to any competitor in the mint category.

Commodity Fingerprint is read from the page structure first: templated copy tends to repeat the same heading patterns and shapes seen across an industry. Below is the heading hierarchy captured, then the known cliché patterns for this industry to weigh it against.
