30 Examples Of Packaging So Misleading, It’s Basically A Scam, As Shared On This Online Community

Except they got hungry a little later and sank

I think they consider the pen and the cap 2 separate pieces

Wow!

Definitely!

Just like all Panera soup bowls.

If everyone returned it they would rethink their dauchery

Should not be allowed. Disgusting rip off.

AND make them bulge or of the box

You did get scammed

It is illegal in Europe..

This one is the best one so far

They do something similar with Beats by Dre. The technology is very lightweight, but people want heft.

Had this happen to me too

How cheap can you get

I think the flight attendant got a bit peckish....

Banana would be a better comparison...

I promise I'm not trying to be rude! But people actually enjoy these? When I eat them I'm having the worst time of my life until they turn sweet!

I'm just flabbergasted by all this!!!

It should be called mostly full

That isn't even halfway full I don't think

That looks homemade

TBH this one says what's included and doesn't lie about the sizes. It's packaged so you can see all of the contents easily and the plastic bin is to store the supplies. If everything was packaged tightly, you'd be less drawn to it to purchase it. Also, this way you get a nicer sized storage container.

20 percent tax

But what did you expect?? One huuge toblerone?!

What are they? They look squishy?

Right?! I only indulge in chocolate once a month and decided to get myself some fancy assorted chocolates... well, there were like 8 little pieces for a box costing $12. I felt every emotion that day....

Well you know how everything settles during transit. 🤔🤔🤔

Packaging says "fruit sandwich". These are very delicious even without the mini oranges.

You're paying for the tin with this one.

That might be because someone shook it or dropped it.

Holy cow that's gotta be the worst 1 yet

So they don't melt together? Okay, I agree, it's suboptimal.

Better question why would you buy this in the first place.

It's says on the box that it's 16 pills. So if you got this it's probably a manufacture error, not something they do on purpose.

Say it with me: shrink...FLATION!!

Just to play a little devil’s advocate, this does at least mean you see all of the marker colors without the sticker blocking your view… but we all know that’s not actually why they did it

To be fair, those ornaments are supposed to be tiny- they're labeled as such and have been that way for years. The tiny fisher price toys are the best.

Okay, but I kinda expect this kind of cràp from Disney. EDIT: Oh for goddess sake, BP! CRÀP is NOT a curse word!

Poundland? Down here it's called Adam & Eve

Don't you have in the states a consumer anti fraud offfice?

Those aren't smarties, they're refreshers!

Srhiiiiink....you know what, I'm not even gonna say it again, lol.

Well how did it look before?

that's how they get people

If it comes up to the weight, it's not really scamming.

As annoying as this seems to be, the extra room inside the box is designed to prevent the tubes from being accidentally squeezed.

I definitely won't be giving anyone my last Rolo if that's all you get in the tube.

Companies usually do this because they want to get more space for the text.

That's what you got?? Looks more like you ate half of it.

It clearly says 7 one the package but there's only six in there. Did you take one out? Otherwise it's not a problem, read the info.

Hm. We actually have one of these and it's an awesome tool and has lasted well. Definitely deceptive packaging there but a genuinely good product (and packaging that will protect it long term, not just be thrown out after opening once).

Scare size 😂

I mean it's saffron. If it's real you have to set your expectations.

It's odd to see strawberries packaged like eggs or chocolates.

Well it would be impossible to print all of the item's info on that little pen.

If there was ten squares, 2" x 2", she got what she paid for.

I counted 144 crayons.

It's because people won't lose their pills.

225g. That's what you got right? Doesn't matter the packaging, you're paying by weight, not volume.

Truly miniatures.
