Ads Vs Reality: 20+ Hilarious Examples Of False Advertising
Life is all about managing expectations - or managing the expectations of others. So when the marketers promise more than they deliver, we feel betrayed. How can we fight that? By revealing their lies to the public.
Bored Panda put together this list of false advertising to show you, dear Pandas, that it's all for naught. There aren't two scoops of raisins in your cereal box, unless those scoops are fairy-sized; Crocodile Mile isn't a fun, water-filled activity for your backyard, unless belly-flops are included in your definition. Which bit of false advertising gets you the most riled up? Vote! Or submit your favourite examples of advertising deceit below:
#5 It Is Just A Bag Of Cats
it has been archeologically proven that the bones of the dinosaurs were actually a gigantic feline species but were relative in size of our cats to us as they were to their giant alien masters.These toys are historically accurate in every way.
#8 My Dog
#10 Remember The Ice Cream That Was Supposed To Look Like Cartoon Characters?
#11 Strawberries
#12 You Sit On A Throne Of Lies
It is clearly said that you have to use it with milk. Then you have calcium ;-)
#14 With A Sprinkling Of Oregano
They don't look like that normally.. This is my daughters favorite and it looks like the picture on the box normally.. Something vent wrong with that one
#15 Musical Instrument
#16 Bag Of Broccoli Cuts? Nope, Just Stems
Come on! The product should at least KIND OF look like the photo on the package!
#18 I Would Have Liked At Least 3 Mushrooms

What do you think ?
Seems more like a list of people buying really cheap stuff and having unrealistic expectations
Some of the stuff isn't cheap but some of it is actually dollar tree garbage.
but the polish cranberry chocolate is kind of expensive one. all the other stuff... well... learn to cook people!
Indeed, Christian! This was my first thought. I think every country should teach their pupil how to cook and how to take care of oneself. I mean- it's so easy to cook a soup, this is and it was never a big deal to cut some vegetables, meat or make a roux.
Please Anna, get out of your bubble! Some people cannot cook! And Christian the ads are clearly dishonest, no one buys anything expecting to receive garbage. You people seem all to be rich and full of privileges. I have news for you: many people struggle every single day to do the simplest things and to buy the cheapest food because they are either ill or poor!
Don't judge a book by it's cover LOL
Great :))
