LOL. They like to waste paper and ink, don't they?
BTW, I'm curious of what product which was said to have 99.9999999999% empty
space. An overly-inflated-near-popping-up balloon?
The answer, is printed on the side of a coffee mug :-)
As are most of the observations in modern life.

"Atoms consists of 99.9999999999% space"
So this is an observation of a quantum mechanical nature.

A neutron star is a measure of this emptiness being squeezed out.
"A neutron star is so dense that one teaspoon (5 milliliters)
of its material would have a mass over 5.5×10^12 kg, about
900 times the mass of the Great Pyramid of Giza."
There is a label on the side of each neutron star that says:
"contents may settle in transit"
Just in case you receive a neutron star which isn't "full".
