"explicit implication"

[Mark Mandel]

The current flyer from Trader Joe's (a grocery chain) has an item that begins:

>>>

nothing but Sea Salt
Bagel Chips

We don't mean to imply that these Bagel Chips are made with only salt.
Our explicit implication is that they are *topped* with "nothing but"
sea salt.
