Ads Vs Reality: 101 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:
