“You Sit On A Throne Of Lies”: 50 Of The Most Evil Packaging Designs That Were Created To Deceive People (New Pics)

It's mostly kilometers of fishing nets though.

And they blame consumers

The amount will be on the package but the design aims to con you.

Too many people will just look at the packaging and not even take note of the actual amount. More packaging makes many people assume there is more product and the company knows and depends on this. It's messed up. Always compare amounts to make sure you are not just paying for more or fancier packaging and thinking you are paying for more product!

Yes it does. So then when you look at the packaging design, you make the assumption that "strawberry milk" means milk with strawberries in it. Simply putting a name on it is not a save. No excuse here, it's a shameless attempt to trick the consumer. (p.s.: It also says there's tapioca in it, so people might think the boba are strawberry flavored too, looking at the red on the bottom.)

Didn't notice. Good for you. Pay attention to details everyone who can read & interpret foreign languages.

It’s probably the U.S. (I live there). Private companies just want to profit off insurance, and that way they can add a condition so they pay less. But pills for $2.73 is cheap (depending on prescription). With insurance copay my family’s usually cost around 6 dollars.

Because I'm guessing this is a US thing and we have big pharmaceutical companies constantly donating to politicians and CAPITALISM(Crony Capitalism at that). I make $13,50/hr part time because I have a disability and can't work full time. I get Social Security and have Medicare and I'm STILL paying at least $300/mo on prescriptions this week. Insurers literally told my 74 yr old Mom that neck bones(upper spine) her crumbling neck vertebrae 'weren't necessary to live' and she has good insurance for the US. They eventually paid, but fellow US people, MEDICARE THINKS WE CAN LIVE WITHOUT NECK BONES/VERTEBRAE!

Some medicines need to be dissolved in the intestines instead of the stomach, so need an enteric coating/capsule to prevent premature dissolution. That said, this looks like some b******t to me.

Because the capsules make more money!

US here.. I'm chronically ill all my adulthood and have never heard of this before 🤔 I take both pill and capsules and haven't run into any issues so I'm guessing it varies by insurance company.

To dissolve there, where it should, than in stomach

Because insurance companies make shady back alley deals with pharmaceutical companies that customers have no say in.

so they can cover it with a capsule so they can charge €56,91

My BlueCross does c**p like this all the time

Hard to say but could taste horrible, could be sticky and hard to swallow, could irritate mouth. Perhaps easier to compact the medicine to pill form and package that to a standard capsule than pay effort to made the pill more usable.

because everything in the us is b******t

Probably just to make it harder for the consumer to save money. The more complications the drug companies invent, the more they can postpone the consumer using their "benefits" and thus save themselves $$$. Especially if the person just gives up. I have.

Welcome to the American "health system."

Because government gets involved. That's the reason why insulin is so insanely high here in the states. It used to be very reasonable, THEN Congress decided to reclassify insulin as not a "drug' but a biologic drug so, despite the fact that companies had been selling it for years they were NOW forced to "retest" and go through all the c**p again to get permission to sell it. Most companies said "we don't have 3 billion bucks to retest, re-certify and go through blind testing." So now there is only ONE company and that bastard charges whatever he wants.

collusion between the pharmaceuticals and insurance carriers. An even bigger issue is that Medicare, by far the biggest health care insurer in the country) is not legally allowed to negotiate prices with big pharma. This is something caused by both Democrats and Republicans in Congress, big pharma is one of the biggest (if not the biggest) source of political donations by lobbyists. The good news is there is a minor change coming as a bill designed to increase the affordability of meds is about to be passed and signed by Biden. A small step, but a step.

'Murica

Yet it is the system that is providing you with all the new products and procedures developed in medicine, which America develops at our own expense ... and which you plunder from us. If our system is so disgusting, I'm sure you will not want to continue to exploit it. Go back to the drugs and equipment you guys had in the year 1900.

You`re taking the words out my mouth :D
