Of course not, but where do you draw the line?

  That's a good question. So let's clarify: Would this be unethical if it was a real pizza company doing an A/B test for their real brand? Would this be unethical if it was a real pizza company doing the A/B test for a fake brand? Is it unethical for Google to have done this? You've just said no to the first question, and previously yes to the last. so I'm curious where you lie on the second, and how you justify those different answers. I don't see a difference between any of them. (in other words: the line is "when its no longer an A/B test and they're actively soliciting your feedback", but you draw it differently. Why?)

    If a company engages in false advertising, which is against the law, they should be fined by the FTC at the very least, and certainly someone visible should lose their job. It's not complicated.

      Right, so given that this doesn't meet the definition of false advertising, would you mind responding to the questions I posed?
