Think of marketing as you would think about sex. Some brands try to establish a pleasant and long relationship with their clients and others use dirty tricks to manipulate anyone into the sack with them. So while some buyers are completely satisfied with their purchases, others feel ashamed and used. This time, Bored Panda has focused on packaging, bringing you the most insulting examples of designers taking advantage of the innocent.

From a deceiving box, hiding the true size of a sandwich to a clever wrap, making a lollipop appear way better than it actually is, there should be a special place in hell for everyone who contributed to these packaging ideas. Scroll down to check out why you shouldn't trust a product you see for the first time and vote for your (least) favorite entries!

I disagree. This photo only shows the 'before' image. On the other side is the 'after' image that shows the broken rope and the guy laying in a bloody heap at the bottom of the mountain.

I saw a rope like that once, it was written "not suitable for climbing on rocks and mountains", it was an indoor rope. Maybe it's the same thing ? That would explain why the picture conveniently doesn't show what's written above the first line...

This is correct, this rope is suitable for rapel only (going down) - which is what the picture is showing - and not climbing (going up)

Perhaps the climber is using it to tie up his/her items or for some other use that is hidden by the silhouette. There may even be suggestions on the inside of the package? But yes, I agree that this package is misleading.

how many people actually read the label? you go in wanting rope, so that is what you pick up, without reading it... it is not fraud...the packaging clearly says not for climbing, if you didnt read it, that is your own fault.

Companies are allowed to put a picture they want on their product, even if it doesn't fully correspond to the product, as long as they notify the consumer. It is very annoying, but unfortunately legal. Then again in the end it is a lesson that as a consumer you always have to read what product you're buying.

Anyone that buys rope for a few bucks trust their life to it deserves what's coming. Real climbing rope goes through extensive third party testing and an extensive quality control system.. It cost about $3 a meter and isn't found at your local hardware store beside the twine. This is only false advertising if your really dumb.

    I've seen these types of pics before, and honestly I think most of the time someone did this after the fact. No way would every single pizza get put into every single box perfectly in order to pull this off regularly. The pizzas would shift in the boxes and be noticed too often.

    I have Celiac disease and I am fine with this label. (Also I am an American which is important) The GF certification is unfairly hard to get. Most of the things that I eat are free of gluten (like this) but aren’t official. I don’t need official, I need foods and food makers who know and prevent cross contamination. The official title means nothing to me. I have never gotten sick from something packaged like this, my greatest risk is always from people who don’t understand cross contamination.

    What you people all seem to be missing is the fact that the company's ingredients ARE Gluten-Free and Organic. However the processing plant in which they have their product produced is NOT. THEREFORE, they can't "Certify" that their product is Gluten-Free and Organic, because trace amounts of ingredients that are not theirs may get mixed into the end-product, unintentionally by contaminated machinery, which negates it being certifiable. IF the product were produced within a certified Gluten-free, Organic production facility, it would probably be prohibitively too expensive to be distributable.

    Even a tiny bit of gluten can be very dangerous for some people with celiac disease. There is a good reason it can't be certified if they use equipment that is used to process foods containing gluten.

    Is it only me that actually read ALL the writing, not just what's underlined? This product is actually gluten free according to its ingredients. It contains *gluten free flour*. What they mean with what is underlined is that they are NOT gluten free CERTIFIED, but the product IS gluten free. Is it that important to be certified for this? And the other statement is written on almost every *name-it* free product, that they are made in facilities that process other foods that contain that stuff. But the products themselves do not contain it. If I were gluten intolerant, I would have no issues eating this cookie..

    It doesnt say that the product itself is not gluten or organic, only that they are not CERTIFIED organic or gluten free because they also process other foods in the plant. Its kinda like you going to Dairy Queen and they have to say that peanuts and other food allergens are on the premises even though you most likely arent going to have peanuts come into contact with your burger as they are prepared in different areas of the store.

    It says that it contains gluten-free flour. If you read further it says that the facility that this product is made in is processing foods that contain wheat. My best guess is that is why they are not certified because there are chances of mixing some gluten with gluten-free flour in the foods processed there. Still doesn't really make them total liars.

I worked for a famous candy company from Tacoma, WA, that from 2003-2008 their candy canister tin size when from 15.7oz to 13.3oz to their current size of 10.5oz (then they cut the size of the canister tin so they could get more on a pallet to sell to Safeway, Fred Meyers, Walmart, Albertsons, Trader Joe’s, Top Foods [circa 2010] and a few other stores). Check your item sizes- also happens a lot with breakfast cereal, I’ve noticed.

    this is good practice and proper standard packaging for raw shrimp wi/ the head included. you can’t leave the head on once they are dead, otherwise the tail flesh gets really mushy really quickly. this is due to an enzyme being immediately released from the liver, which is in the head of course. properly, they should be de-capitated live, once they are, they are good for a day or so, if well refrigerated. if they’re dead with the head still on, don’t buy them.

    That would make more sense to use a large hotdog packaging then just wrap it up in the foiled wrapping paper…

    "Compound chocolate with mix flavor filling"? That sounds horrible!!! From Wikipedia: "Compound chocolate is a product made from a combination of cocoa, vegetable fat, and sweeteners. It is used as a lower-cost alternative to true chocolate, as it uses less-expensive hard vegetable fats such as coconut oil or palm kernel oil in place of the more expensive cocoa butter."

    the fact is that people do not pay the price of the product by comparing the weight of the product to the price, but try to pay less by buying the biggest product. so the manufacturers make big bottles to give the impression that they have made a deal when they have paid the same price for a smaller package. as usual it is about being influenced by the appearance ,.

    I keep telling everyone, the planet will not die. We'll just contaminate the planet until it no longer has a life sustaining environment, then we will die. Earth will keep right on spinning because she doesn't care one way or another whether we're here or not.

    Proactiv is such a rip off company. Those two "dermatologists (if indeed they truthfully are) have sold buttloads of what basically you can find for much cheaper. If they truly wanted to help people with skin problems they could have made all that one the first few years and then made them more affordable without all this cheesy membership c**p, etc. I still think people are able to buy generic for similar results. Greed has no limits.

    I don't know about Proactiv as a company, but I don't see anything misleading in these packages. It clearly states how much product it contains and you can feel the weight. If the box were the same size as that little tube, there wouldn't be room for product information. For readable font size, at least.

    If you live in a world where this fraud is normal, of course nothing is wrong with this. Which explains why package-fraud and package-not-quite-but-nearly-fraud makes people mad. No, this is NOT right. It's misleading, it's wasteful, it should be illegal or at least shunned. Accepting this is what MAKES companies waste all the package-material. If you wouldn't buy this type of cheating, they'd not waste the money on trying to cheat.

    The point is that the cheese is put on a pedestal so it looks like it's mass goes as deep as the width of the chili-glass. Yes, probably you should know how much a block that (suggested) size of cheese weighs so you'd of course would NEVER fall ffor that cheat. People don't realize that companies cheat because you let them cheat. And they get away with it. Because you'll always go for the big box first (otherwise noone would bother making them bigger than necessary)

    I don't know how it exactly works where you live, but don"t forget that the product has a weight written on it, refer to that, not to the side of the box. If you paid for 200g, you will get 200g.

    i eat this paté quite often, the cardboard sleeve is very easy to slide up and look at the paté underneath before you buy it. also you pay a good price that's affordable for this. so no, it's not misleading.

    Sometimes I know they do it to increase the overall packaging area to have enough space to print all the information they want to print. Some do it for maintaining the size of all strips to same dimensions, so that they don't have to order different size boxes.

    It does happen though. Bought a package of ham from a shop in the Netherlands (where they cut it themselves daily, not pre-fab stuff). 2 slices on top were perfect, rest beneath it were just messed up slices, too thin and falling apart. It's lame, but if it's still the correct weight, it's not cheating/false advertisement :P

    I live in Canada and I was told last time I went to the vet that apparently the meds you often get off the shelf have lower amounts of the active ingredient than what a veterinarian can prescribe because shops don't have anyone with the medical knowledge on hand. Like, you don't need to ask for prescriptions, but someone in the building needs to know what to do with it.

    Can't blame THAT on shifting contents! Of course, if you know how much that net weight is -- and aren't to impressed by how big the print is -- and the large yellow "VALUE" -- and red starburst graphic -- you might realize there couldn't be that much meat.

    The thing about this is that the packaging should clearly indicate how many ml you're getting, so you're not being swindled out of cologne. Now, I'm not sure, but my personal opinion after having dropped more than one bottle of perfume is that the extra thick base makes the bottle sturdier it so that it doesn't shatter if it falls. I've let out more than one sign of relief!

    They do this so the bottle is not as top heavy and therefore less likely to tip over and break. It gives it a more solid base similar to the foundation of a house

    I don’t have a problem with this. They might have many different cheeses and it’s more economical to have this one sized container. It’s clear so they aren’t fooling anyone. If it had been opaque, then it could appear they are trying to fool people.

    Here’s a weird thing I had happen.. I found a meat product, that you bake in the oven, not too expensive tastes great! So I wrote the company and told them how much I liked their product. They said thank you, and sent me a couple of good coupons. Well, the following year, they CHANGED THE PROCESSING OF THE PRODUCT, AND THE TASTE, CALLING IT NEW AND IMPROVED!! It tastes like shot now! And I haven’t bought their product since! If it’s good, don’t change it! It’s like new coke, it was nasty!

    Shake it, before buying. I check to see if inside sounds like it’s sliding around, if so, won’t buy it. I’m tired of chip bags saying that they are only half full by the time they reach the shelf, because of settling! If you know they settle, stuff more in there! Some bags actually do have more in there than others, I do a lot of feeling for extra in needed space in bags!

    What happened to the third one up on the left? They looked like filled sandwich biscuits, but that one looks to be both bits facing the same way.

    This kind of packaging is the most common. I say make it a law that ALL packaging must be see through. Box or bag; trays etc. NO hidden places. If it's a case of protecting the contents from the sun, then take a picture of the inside and put the photo on the outside of EXACTLY what is inside!!

    I don't see the problem? It says 8 colors, and it has 8 colors and for the amount, it looks like the same amount? Is the problem that the form is different-one looks flat and rectangular and they are, in fact, long and narrow? I'm just curious.

    I think the problem is the big hollow part in the middle. The top shows the colors going all the way to the center but there is not as much product as shown on the lid. Just a guess

    It makes it look like you're getting more, and the question is, why the space? Either fill it with modeling clay or change your packaging. It only adds more to a landfill. The point is the ONLY reason they add the space is to deceive.

    If you buy this sort of product regularly, you get used to the idea that the smaller the ultimate jar, the higher the price. Some people consider smaller to be higher value, but we all are used to the idea that those actually containing a lot are the "cheap stuff" for better or worse.

    If the amount was a 70 piece box then there's nothing wrong with this packaging. It's a matter of shipping of course. It could be a buy 60 get 10 free boxes and it's still a shipping issue. Not all companies will change their box size for cost reasons so, they enclose what the have as a normal size they sell.

    This is directly misleading as it is the most prominent amount on the package, together withe the fact that the 1000 caps would normally be indicating the strength in mcg, mg or or other units other than "caps". This is also an unsafe marking ad to strength.
