Have you ever stumbled upon a product that looked better through advertising than it actually was in real life? Sadly, this seems to happen all the time.
Clever advertising lures us into believing a product is all that and a bag of chips, when in truth, the bag is actually half full. True story. Isn't that the most infuriating thing ever? It is to me. And these examples are just sad proof of that.
If you look at this bottle you would think you're buying whiskey, no? As this person found out it's just "with taste of whiskey." Ouch.
If you've been buying the same stick of deodorant for years and now you notice it runs out faster, put it through the light test. How evil. That's only like...half a stick in there? If that?
If you think you're getting a great deal on a 12-pack of these veggie sausage rolls, think again. Just read the fine print. WTF? Why don't they just come out and say it? You're really only getting three rolls, folks.
I dunno who would eat a hot dog wrapped in a waffle on a stick — but that's another story. This, however, has no hot dog. So deceptive, although now that I look closely, that red line should have been a giveaway.
Here you thought you were going to make a meaty sandwich for yourself when all you ended up with is barely two slices. That's so terrible.
Oh man, I hate paying an arm and a leg for a sandwich at a takeout shop, especially when this is all you get. Ugh. If I had this for lunch, I would still be hungry, that's for sure.
We see these types of packaging in stores all the time. The problem is, we actually believe them. But now we know it's bulls**t.
Yes, let's make these two products have the same exact packaging. Imagine getting the wrong item? Talk about not having a restful night of sleep. LOL!
This person finally decided to eat that big chocolate Easter egg, only they weren't expecting the chocolate to be hollowed out. What a disappointment.
When I buy grocery store pizza, this isn't what I have in mind. That little window in the box is like the perfect vision of deception. This is clever, but so, so wrong.
By the look of these oranges, you would think they were really orange in color, but sadly, it is just the mesh packaging they use. I hope they still tasted good, at least.
Why would they put radiator coolant in a can that resembles beer? What if somebody drank this by mistake? Wow, that would be horrible.
Companies routinely put their products in much bigger bottles, especially when it comes to supplements, to make you think you're getting more than you actually are. Such a waste!
One would think that a rope that has a picture of a climber on the packaging would be suitable for climbing, right? Not so much in this case.
There's a reason people want to buy products that are gluten-free and organic, so how dare these guys try to cash in on that. One quick look at the ingredients shows us that this company is straight-up lying to customers.
Don't you find it annoying when the package is so long you think the product is as well? This person surely does. Ugh. Wow.
Somebody bought this so they could finally open all this annoying plastic packaging, yet they can't get these out to use them. Quite the ironic situation here.
This ice cream packaging promises you a huge cookie dough core but all you actually get is this little blob. How sad. I would definitely want a refund if I bought this!
The way this oil is marketed, it would seem like it's pure olive oil. In actuality, it's 90% refined sunflower with only 10% olive oil. Always read the fine print!
Why make the consumer think this Klondike bar is now smaller when you can just cut a hole out and hide it that way? Clever... but so evil.
When you open a box of 64 Crayon Colors you expect to get 64 different colors, no? Here you end up with 64 orange ones. Wow. I guess that's why they were on sale.
You might score some good deals when you shop at your local Asian supermarket but don't get too excited about these jumbo shrimp. It's totally deceiving.
With scams like these around, it would make anyone a nervous wreck. How annoying. Just remember to always read the fine print, and if it looks too good to be true, it probably is.
