Weird packaging designs that are hilariously misleading<\/figcaption><\/figure>
\nFalse advertising is something that you never want to come across, but unfortunately, it\u2019s surprisingly common in the world. Food packaging, in particular, seems to be a common culprit when it comes to being misleading, although other products have been known to lie to customers too.
\n[post_page_title]Not for climbers[\/post_page_title]
\nThere are plenty of reasons to buy rope, especially if you\u2019re a climber. Of course, if you\u2019re going to use this product to hold up your body weight, you\u2019ll need to check that it\u2019s strong enough.
\n
\"\"
Not for climbers<\/figcaption><\/figure>
\nPresumably, this piece of rope is a little too weak, hence why the packaging says that it\u2019s not suitable for climbing. If that\u2019s the case, though, why was a picture of a climber used in the first place? Surely that just sends out the wrong message to everyone.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Not so bottomless[\/post_page_title]
\nWould you pay $2.99 for the prospect of a cup full of gummy bears? This customer would, and we fully support their actions. However, it seems they may have been conned when they made their purchase.
\n
\"\"
Not so bottomless<\/figcaption><\/figure>
\nAlthough it looked like they were buying a whole cup of sweet treats, they were only getting about a dozen or so gummy bears. They didn\u2019t make the discovery until they opened up the packaging and discovered there was a hidden lid beneath their candy. Now that is deceptive.
\n
\n[post_page_title]The missing sausages[\/post_page_title]
\nIt\u2019s always great when you get to buy more of the stuff you love without paying anything extra. That\u2019s what this Russian grocery store appeared to be offering with their \u201cbuy ten sausages, get two extra\u201d sale. However, there was more than met the eye with this deal, as some customers quickly found out.
\n
\"\"
The missing sausages<\/figcaption><\/figure>
\nRather than offering people two extra sausages, they\u2019d just taken a couple from the original pack and attached them onto the side. It was a devious lie and one that probably fooled quite a few people.
\n
\n[post_page_title]More is less[\/post_page_title]
\nWe expect the prospect of 12 sausage rolls – with or without meat is something that appeals to plenty of people. However, anyone hoping that this packet included a dozen full-size rolls was soon disappointed.
\n
\"\"
More is less<\/figcaption><\/figure>
\nAlthough the packaging advertised 12 of these pastries inside, it also clarified that there were only this many if you cut up the rolls into fours. We suppose the fact that this product is labeled as being \u201cMini Sausage Rolls\u201d makes it a little less misleading. Why weren\u2019t they just cut up before being packaged, though?
\n
\n[post_page_title]Gluten galore[\/post_page_title]
\nFor some people, finding food that doesn\u2019t contain gluten is a real task. Thankfully, many grocery stores now seem to have a section dedicated to this stuff, although what they offer isn\u2019t always monumental. Still, having some gluten-free products available is better than nothing.
\n
\"\"
Gluten galore<\/figcaption><\/figure>
\nThat\u2019s assuming that the food isn\u2019t lying about not containing gluten, of course. After all, this peppermint cream brownie packaging said that it was on the front, but a quick inspection of the back proves that that wasn’t actually the case. These people have no shame.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Where’s the pepperoni?[\/post_page_title]
\nQuite a lot of food packaging is designed to show people the product they\u2019re buying. It\u2019s a great way to advertise the item, but it also allows manufacturers to be misleading with the packaging. Take this pepperoni pizza, for instance, which made good use of the hole in the front of the box.
\n
\"\"
Where’s the pepperoni?<\/figcaption><\/figure>
\nCustomers who saw this product probably thought that the pizza was a real pepperoni feast. However, what they didn\u2019t realize was that the section hidden inside the box actually had no meat on it at all.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Big on soup[\/post_page_title]
\nWhen something claims to be 30% or 40% bigger, many customers are likely to be enticed by it. After all, who wouldn\u2019t want to buy more of the stuff they love for a reasonable price? However, if something does advertise itself this way, you should probably question whether or not it\u2019s telling the truth.
\n
\"\"
Big on soup<\/figcaption><\/figure>
\nThese two cans both say they offer different amounts of soup, yet they seem to be the same size. Clearly, the manufacturer thought that no-one would end up owning both products at the same time.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Not so jumbo[\/post_page_title]
\nIt\u2019s amazing just how deceptive packaging allows people to be with their products sometimes. It makes you wonder whether you should trust anything you buy in the store because it could easily play you for a fool.
\n
\"\"
Not so jumbo<\/figcaption><\/figure>
\nCustomers who bought these packs of shrimp, for instance, probably had no clue they were being lied to. It was only when they removed the packaging that they discovered their jumbo shrimps were smaller than anticipated. At least the heads – which you\u2019re not supposed to eat anyway – had already been conveniently removed.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Half the package[\/post_page_title]
\nEmpty space in packaging is a real issue for a number of reasons. Not only is it wasteful of materials, but it also means the customers get less than what they were expecting. Who wants to open something and discover that they\u2019ve only received half of what they\u2019d paid for?
\n
\"\"
Half the package<\/figcaption><\/figure>
\nThis person certainly doesn\u2019t, which is why they were annoyed by the state of their hot dog. Despite the long package, their food was remarkably tiny, prompting them to call foul play from those who were responsible.
\n
\n[post_page_title]When one becomes two[\/post_page_title]
\nIf you\u2019re looking for a satisfying meal on your lunch break, this is not the product for you. It might look like quite a sizable wrap, but once you take the packaging away, the truth is exposed. The product is actually two smaller wraps, neither of which will do a fantastic job of filling you up.
\n
\"\"
When one becomes two<\/figcaption><\/figure>
\nThe empty space – of which there\u2019s quite a lot – is cleverly hidden behind the packaging, fooling customers into thinking they\u2019re getting more than what\u2019s actually there. Now that is sneaky.
\n
\n[post_page_title]The wrong way round[\/post_page_title]
\nConsidering these bags of rice were both produced by the same company, you\u2019d think a little more effort would have been put into the packaging. Surely it would have made more sense to put the long grain rice in the bag that\u2019s white and brown rice into the one that\u2019s darker.
\n
\"\"
The wrong way round<\/figcaption><\/figure>
\nThat way, people will instinctively know where to get the rice they need without having to read the packaging. Instead, they have to continually remind themselves that the colors are reversed when they go to get rice.
\n
\n[post_page_title]All about orange[\/post_page_title]
\nAny parents who want to inspire creativity in their children should think about buying them some crayons. Having the freedom to color in whatever they want could work wonders for their development, even if it means them drawing on your walls.
\n
\"\"
All about orange<\/figcaption><\/figure>
\nHowever, if you\u2019re going to get some crayons, make sure you check what\u2019s inside the packaging first. After all, the last thing you want is to buy them a selection this big, only to find that there\u2019s only one color available. No-one needs this much orange in their lives.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Color confusion[\/post_page_title]
\nOnce again, people have decided to make the color of their packaging as confusing as possible. Rather than designing these tubes of Threadlocker Red and Blue in their respective colors, they opted to flip the switch. So, the Red product has a blue exterior and vice versa.
\n
\"\"
Color confusion<\/figcaption><\/figure>
\nThankfully, this isn\u2019t quite so problematic because it doesn\u2019t really matter which tube you go for. As long as you\u2019re using them for their intended purpose – keeping nuts and bolts leak-free and sturdy – then it\u2019s not a big deal.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Lied to by chocolate[\/post_page_title]
\nA box of chocolates is one of the greatest gifts you can ever receive because let\u2019s face it, chocolate is a wonderful thing. However, we could understand if you weren\u2019t thrilled to receive this particular pack of sweet treats given its design.
\n
\"\"
Lied to by chocolate<\/figcaption><\/figure>
\nWhile the box might appear appetizing, things take a turn once you open it up. There\u2019s a reason all that hidden space is covered up, and that\u2019s because the manufacturer doesn\u2019t want you seeing how few chocolates there are inside. This level of deception should be illegal.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Not the real deal[\/post_page_title]
\nFinding pure olive oil is a lot harder than you might think. Usually, this stuff isn\u2019t sold in grocery stores, instead only being found in the regions where it\u2019s produced. The products that you buy when you go shopping are normally just standard oil with some of the good stuff thrown in on top.
\n
\"\"
Not the real deal<\/figcaption><\/figure>
\nThat\u2019s because regulations don\u2019t specify how much of the real deal a bottle of \u201cextra virgin olive oil\u201d should contain. Usually, if you check out the small print, you\u2019ll quickly uncover the truth.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Hidden out of sight[\/post_page_title]
\nIf possible, you really should check inside anything you plan on buying before handing over your money. You never know when you might be being lied to, as this packaging proves. It might seem like there were about ten pencils in here, but that wasn\u2019t actually the case.
\n
\"\"
Hidden out of sight<\/figcaption><\/figure>
\nCardboard dividers were employed to fool customers into believing they were getting their money\u2019s worth when in actual fact, they were just being deceived. Clearly, this company cared more about boosting their profit margins than giving their customers a great product.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Enjoy your bill[\/post_page_title]
\nA glimpse at this bottle would suggest that customers can drink it without having to pay a dime. After all, the words \u201cplease enjoy\u201d clearly suggest that it\u2019s there to be consumed without repercussions.
\n
\"\"
Enjoy your bill<\/figcaption><\/figure>
\nHowever, it appears that this is all just a trick to fool people into drinking something that they then have to pay for. The small print reveals that enjoying the water will actually cost you $4. Not only is that deceptively sneaky, but it\u2019s also a steep price for something you can get from the sink.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Lollipop lies[\/post_page_title]
\nLollipops with animals printed on them aren\u2019t anything uncommon, although they don\u2019t normally look this impressive. Usually, they come out as a complete mess because getting the design right is incredibly difficult.
\n
\"\"
Lollipop lies<\/figcaption><\/figure>
\nHowever, this piece of candy seems to have gotten everything perfect down to the last detail. Unfortunately, there\u2019s a good reason for that. Once the packaging is off, you realize that it only looked so good because the design wasn\u2019t on the lollipop at all. It was actually printed on the plastic to completely fool the customers.
\n
\n[post_page_title]What a waste[\/post_page_title]
\nYou\u2019d probably think that a tub this size would contain a lot of vitamin supplements. However, according to one customer, there was only a bowl\u2019s worth of the pills in their container. That means there was either an error when this bottle was filled, or the company just loves to waste plastic.
\n
\"\"
What a waste<\/figcaption><\/figure>
\nAt least half of the tub must have been empty space, even with what was advertised as 500 pills inside. Maybe the customer would be wise to count the supplements and see if there are actually 500 there.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Just one cookies[\/post_page_title]
\nWhen plurals are used, that generally means there are multiple things involved. Well, unless you\u2019re buying some Amaretti Cookies, that is. Even though the name implies there is a selection of delicious treats, this customer discovered that their package only contained one.
\n
\"\"
Just one cookies<\/figcaption><\/figure>
\nThe others weren\u2019t hiding away somewhere – this was all they got. Not only is the name misleading, but also, the size of the box seems utterly disproportionate to the cookie inside. There\u2019s no way that something that small needs packaging as big as that.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Unequal three-pack[\/post_page_title]
\nIf something is advertised as a value three-pack, that ought to mean you get three things that are precisely the same. However, it appears that some toothpaste companies have a different understanding of what this term means.
\n
\"\"
Unequal three-pack<\/figcaption><\/figure>
\nRather than giving customers three identical products, they did more of a buy two, get half free deal. That\u2019s because the packaging contained two large tubes of toothpaste, along with one that was a smaller size. We wouldn\u2019t exactly call that equal value, no matter which way you try to spin it.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Size is everything[\/post_page_title]
\nThese companies really don\u2019t care about wasting materials, do they? Even though this tube of \u2018Emergency Blemish Relief\u2019 is only small, they still put it in a box that\u2019s around double the size. The thing is, the company clearly knew what they were doing, hence the cardboard divider inside the packaging.
\n
\"\"
Size is everything<\/figcaption><\/figure>
\nHaving this in there meant that customers wouldn\u2019t hear the tube rattling around when they picked it up. That way, they wouldn\u2019t realize the product wasn\u2019t as big as they expected until they\u2019d already purchased it.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Three’s not the magic number[\/post_page_title]
\nShaking the packaging is actually a good idea when it comes to buying certain products. Although some things are designed to stop this from uncovering anything, others aren\u2019t nearly as foolproof. Had the customer tried that with these Greek candies, they might have realized that there were only three treats in the box.
\n
\"\"
Three’s not the magic number<\/figcaption><\/figure>
\nGiven the size of the packaging and the stuff inside, that\u2019s definitely far less than there ought to have been. We hope the three that they got were at least tasty, despite their small number.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Window shopping[\/post_page_title]
\nWhat is it about pizza that makes people think they can be so cruel to us? Anyone who saw this box in the grocery store would likely assume that the pizza was topped full of pepperoni goodness. However, opening the packaging reveals that the toppings were actually intentionally placed to mislead the customer.
\n
\"\"
Window shopping<\/figcaption><\/figure>
\nSure, there\u2019s enough pepperoni here to cover the pizza, but rather than being spread out, it\u2019s all conveniently placed where the window in the box is. Here\u2019s hoping this was a one-off and not a regular thing.
\n
\n[post_page_title]You get what you pay for[\/post_page_title]
\nTypically, when something is set at a reduced price, it\u2019s because it\u2019s not selling well. However, in the case of this smoked salmon, the grocery store may have lowered the price to account for the lack of food in the packaging.
\n
\"\"
You get what you pay for<\/figcaption><\/figure>
\nDespite what the outer appearance would suggest, this packet only appears to have half of the food that it should do. We\u2019d hope this was just an accident, but something tells us that this is yet another case of manufacturers trying to con the public into buying their product.
\n
\n[post_page_title]A dairy disaster[\/post_page_title]
\nGift sets like this are always a great idea when it comes to birthdays or Christmas. If you know someone really loves cheese and crackers, then they\u2019re bound to appreciate everything on offer here. Of course, you might want to ensure that what you see is what you get with your gift set.
\n
\"\"
A dairy disaster<\/figcaption><\/figure>
\nAfter all, you never know when the packaging could be misleading. It might seem like there are two great blocks of cheese here, but that\u2019s clearly not the case. Why would they lie to us like this?
\n
\n[post_page_title]Sliced too thin[\/post_page_title]
\nWhat is it with manufacturers refusing to give us the cheese we want and deserve? This poor customer had to face disappointment with their purchase when they discovered there was less cheese than they\u2019d anticipated.
\n
\"\"
Sliced too thin<\/figcaption><\/figure>
\nNot only were they upset about the lack of dairy goodness, but they were also furious about how much concealed packaging there was. There was more cardboard in the box than cheese, with the wedges resting on stands almost two times their size. It\u2019s both a waste of packaging and a customer\u2019s hopes and dreams.
\n
\n[post_page_title]A handful of fruit[\/post_page_title]
\nLying about cheese is one thing, but to do it with chocolate is a step too far. This Polish company thought they could get away with fooling their customers into buying their products, which were advertised as containing fruit.
\n
\"\"
A handful of fruit<\/figcaption><\/figure>
\nAlthough that was technically true, only a small portion of the bar was topped with the stuff. Of course, it was impossible for people to realize they were being duped when the chocolate was still in the box. That\u2019s because all the fruit was concentrated around the window in the packaging.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Which batteries work?[\/post_page_title]
\nIt\u2019s reasonably common for products that require batteries not to contain these necessary add-ons. Usually, you have to purchase them separately, although at least the packaging tends to say what kind of batteries you need.
\n
\"\"
Which batteries work?<\/figcaption><\/figure>
\nUnfortunately, it seems that this information isn\u2019t always entirely correct. This customer was probably confused when they opened this product and saw that it required two AAA batteries, despite the packaging asking for AA ones. You\u2019d think the manufacturer would at least check something like this before sending out the product.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Giving 110%[\/post_page_title]
\nNormally, if something claims to be 100% juice, then there shouldn\u2019t be any other ingredients in it. There shouldn\u2019t be additives or preservatives – just the sweet taste of whatever fruit it is. However, this carton goes against that by claiming to be 100% juice\u2026 and other ingredients.
\n
\"\"
Giving 110%<\/figcaption><\/figure>
\nHow can there be anything else in the beverage if all of it is supposedly juice? We\u2019re not entirely sure about that one, and it has us wondering exactly what else might be lingering in this drink that we\u2019re not aware of.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Not what Santa expected[\/post_page_title]
\nChocolate is always a good idea during the festive season. After all, the holidays are a time when you\u2019re allowed to treat yourself and let loose. Unfortunately, just because it\u2019s Christmas, that doesn\u2019t mean manufacturers won\u2019t stop with their false advertising.
\n
\"\"
Not what Santa expected<\/figcaption><\/figure>
\nIt\u2019s safe to say that this customer wasn\u2019t expecting the boxes to look like this on the inside after seeing the exterior packaging. We must admit that we\u2019re amazed so much plastic and cardboard can be wasted on one product, of which thousands must be sold every year.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Bigger than before[\/post_page_title]
\nWhen you look at these two bags side-by-side, it\u2019s pretty clear which one is bigger. Concerningly, it\u2019s not the one which is advertised as having a \u201cNew Bigger Size.\u201d Of course, it\u2019s possible that this may have been brought in as a replacement for a smaller bag, rather than the one next to it.
\n
\"\"
Bigger than before<\/figcaption><\/figure>
\nHowever, it still seems strange to use this phrase when it\u2019s clearly not the biggest option around. After all, it leads customers to start questioning just how truthful the advertisement on their products are.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Needs more noodles[\/post_page_title]
\nCollege students don\u2019t typically have a lot of cash to spare, which is why they often eat things like noodles for their meals. Stuff like this is cheap and easy to make, thereby saving a lot of time and money.
\n
\"\"
Needs more noodles<\/figcaption><\/figure>
\nHowever, it appears that fans of these affordable meals might be getting ripped off. If this picture is anything to go by, cups of noodles don\u2019t actually offer as much as customers probably hope for. That\u2019s a lot of empty space there, and we\u2019re not sure why it isn\u2019t filled.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Cutting out the cheese[\/post_page_title]
\nFast food restaurants might not offer you a five-star meal, but usually, what they provide is enough to keep people satisfied. Unfortunately, it appears that this restaurant is missing the mark if their cheeseburger is anything to go by.
\n
\"\"
Cutting out the cheese<\/figcaption><\/figure>
\nWhile it might look like what you\u2019d expect on the outside, the inside tells another story entirely. That slice of cheese poking out of the burger is nothing more than a tiny strip designed to fool the consumer. Presumably, they weren\u2019t expecting this customer to actually look inside their meal.
\n
\n[post_page_title]May contain seeds[\/post_page_title]
\nAs tasty as fruit might be, it sometimes has parts in it that aren\u2019t so appetizing. We\u2019re talking mainly about all those seeds which can make your meal a little chewier than you\u2019d probably like. These are found in quite a few different foods, with watermelon one of the worst offenders for this.
\n
\"\"
May contain seeds<\/figcaption><\/figure>
\nFortunately, you can buy seedless varieties of this fruit, although you shouldn\u2019t immediately trust any labels that are advertised as such. As you can see, the packaging doesn\u2019t always tell the truth.
\n
\n[post_page_title]27% is the new 100%[\/post_page_title]
\nYet another product claiming to be 100% juice while also proving that it\u2019s anything but. The manufacturers really felt like confusing their customers with this one, because the revelation that this drink only contains 27% juice isn\u2019t exactly hidden.
\n
\"\"
27% is the new 100%<\/figcaption><\/figure>
\nIt\u2019s almost directly below the 100% juice claim, leaving us scratching our heads wondering what is and isn\u2019t real? Of course, if this drink does only contain 27% authentic fruit juice, then what makes up the other 73%? Something tells us that the answer isn\u2019t anything good.
\n
\n[post_page_title]A bunny in hiding[\/post_page_title]
\nNo matter how hard you try to sell something, there always seems to be some stock left over. That\u2019s never ideal when the products are time-restricted, meaning they\u2019ll only be of interest to customers for a limited time.
\n
\"\"
A bunny in hiding<\/figcaption><\/figure>
\nFortunately, it seems that manufacturers have found ways to rebrand some stock to ensure they continue selling. This chocolate Easter bunny, for instance, was simply decorated differently so that people thought they were buying an edible pope instead. Well, we suppose there\u2019s no point in letting good chocolate go to waste.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Gluten-free gluten[\/post_page_title]
\nWe understand it\u2019s becoming increasingly popular for products to be gluten-free, but that doesn\u2019t mean you can just stick the term onto anything. The point of things being gluten-free is so that people with celiac disease can enjoy food without getting ill.
\n
\"\"
Gluten-free gluten<\/figcaption><\/figure>
\nYou can\u2019t just claim that a product doesn\u2019t contain gluten when it clearly does, because that simply leads to lawsuits. Plus, it seems silly to go down this route when you also assure customers that \u201cThis product contains: Gluten.\u201d This cookie couldn\u2019t be more misleading if it tried.
\n
\n[post_page_title]One scoop’s not enough[\/post_page_title]
\nAnyone who buys raisin bran probably does so expecting to have a decent amount of raisins in their cereal. After all, if they weren\u2019t interested in the dried fruit, they\u2019d surely just buy standard bran.
\n
