The whole purpose of marketing is to make a product desirable and to give the customer something that fulfills their needs, but I think it's fair to say that these big companies don't give a sh*t about you.

The marketing techniques on display here are not designed for building trust, repeat business, and goodwill, they are shameless attempts to squeeze as much cash as possible out of unwitting consumers! From dishonest product packaging and clever ads designed to manipulate, to hidden disclaimers and barefaced lies, it's really quite shocking how low some big brands will go for an extra few bucks.

We here at Bored Panda have compiled a list of the worst false advertising offenders, so you know what to look out for in the big, bad world of cut-throat capitalism. Scroll down below to check them out for yourself, and let us know what you think in the comments!

Hopefully this is an area that has single stream recycling. Everything goes to the same facility, then it gets sorted. Collection costs are lower, but processing costs are higher.

I think that's "single stream recycling." What happens to it after it leaves the bin is the real question.

I'm not understanding the issue here. The can is labeling all the things that can be recycled by putting it in that can. Obviously someone is not listening and putting lids in there. But, when it gets to the recycling facility and get dumped on a conveyer belt, there are worker that will pull those pieces out that can't be recycled and they'll wind up in the actual trash. Also not sure why it says no lids. I would think those are recyclable, unless maybe it's coated in some kind of plastic resin.

We actually have a bin at my Church, that one side is labeled "Trash" and the other side is labeled "Recycle". Then you lift the lid, and it's just one single bin.

    The best solution here is to stop buying all that gunk that you put under your arms. Get a deodorant stone, and it will last you for years if you get a large one. I've been using one since the 80s, and quit wasting so much money. After you have used it for a long time, you could do without anything for months, and still not have any odor, because you have already killed off all of the bacteria. Seriously, you can't beat a deodorant stone.

    The blog Consumerist used to keep a "grocery shrink ray" watch. Corporations started really agressively doing this around 2006, when the recession started. They also raised prices 3x faster than inflation. They didn't stop or make products bigger since, they have kept doing it more agressively since they figured out they can f**k with their stuff and we still have to buy food and deodorant.

    I mean, it's gotten to the point were packaged foods aren't enough to eat, but they cost more than they used to. If you're poor and you don't have time to make food for lunches you're just paying twice as much money to starve.

    The words “Premium BLEND” should be a dead giveaway. 100% anything will never have the word “blend” on the labeling. This is misleading, but not illegal. It clearly states it is a “blend” and clearly states what that blend is. Unfortunately they chose to emphasize the more marketable ingredient. I’ll bet if you look on the back, where they have to list ingredients by volume, the Sunflower oil will be first, then “may contain canola/safflower oil” or something like that, and finally olive pomace oil and extra virgin olive oil. The product probably contains enough EVO to give it some color and nothing more. Welcome to America where this is perfectly legal, because it’s up to the consumer to read the fine print. No ethics in advertising. 😡

    They are not breaking FDA regulation. PREMIUM BLEND is listed on big letters and stands out enough so consumers can read it easily, just with that they are covered. Also that information is on a typeface bigger than the typeface used on EVOO and Sunflower. The usage of the dark color might trick consumer’s minds, but is not against FDA regulation. Check out BERTOLLI extra virgin olive oil class action lawsuit settling for $7M. For years they were putting “product of Italy” on their labels, when in reality their oils were coming from any place (like Greece or Morocco.) but Italy. I’m forever loyal to Goya Extra Virgin Olive Oil and they new Goya Unico exclusive from Spain.

    Sorry, but did you not feel the big hole in the bottle when you picked it up? Actually, this is clever packaging. When you remove the label (or punch through it) you have a bottle that is easier to grasp and hold onto with wet hands in the shower. It perfect for small hands, large hands and arthritic hands. The bottle has to be larger in size than others of comparable volume to account for the uniqueness of the handle effect. Very clever marketing tool if they would package it properly. The machinery to shrink wrap with the hole exposed probably is not cost effective.

    Should be able to tell there’s a hole there just by holding the bottle. The label is thin and cannot make it feel solid. It’s deceptive by sight, though. Labels shouldn’t cover up stuff like this.

    This is why I don't live in the city, and don't visit unless drastically necessary. $12 bucks for 1/2 hour. When was the last time you could get anything done in less than 1-2hours. Plus the fact it takes you 15 minutes to walk to nd from the parking lot.

    I don't agree with this one on the list. For those unaware, that center mechanism is to help squeeze the tube appropriately (whether or not it maximizes emptying it in the end it's unknown). I'm not familiar with this brand but have used others, and the packaging (usually a cardboard back) would've made it clear that about that shell.

    In this case, I agree. It is almost impossible to find two tubes of super glue with the same dispensing method, and this just looks like another variation. You can tell the front piece is attached in a way meant to be pushed in. It helps control the flow better.

    Surely the cost of the extra packaging must balance out, or outweigh the cost of actually just filly the frickin' bottle? I mean really - how much can it cost for that extra tiny little squirt of glue or shampoo or washing liquid or whatever - compared with all the stupid 'clever' rip-off packaging needed to screw over the customer??

    0.14oz/4g is logically the small tube. The plastic case makes no sense unless it is theft prevention.

    Marlowe Fitzpatrik

    7 years ago Created by potrace 1.15, written by Peter Selinger 2001-2017

    It makes a lot of sense. People who don't realize that 4g is only a tiny amount of glue, like those that don't know the weight of one ml glue and therefor don't know the relations, will buy the bigger box instead of the probably close-by smaller bottle. Yes, it's correct that there's the amount printed on, which is why it's not ILLEGAL. But it's still a*****e-y because it misleads the buyers into giving more money for more unnecessary plastic. Not illegal, but immoral.

    If you start with 100, 25 is 25% of 100, meaning 125 is 25% more. However, if you start with 125, 25 is actually 20% of 125. The person doing mathvertizing that day hadn’t had their coffee. Either that, or one is a counterfeit.

    I'm sure the (low level) employees hate this kind of c**p too. They have to deal with confused/disgruntled customers all day because of signs like those. Bleh.

    as a retail employee, it's obnoxious to see signs like this. Too often, I will have to answers questions along the lines of "the sign says $3.99" but the pants say $10.99, so which is it?" and I have to explain to them that there is a little wording next to the $3.99 that says "and up" or I have to explain that there is little words that say "Up to" next to the percentage off... it never fails... every.single.shift.

    I clicked on one that said it was a Microsoft update at work and walked away as it said it would take 30 min to install. To my surprise when I got back it was a screen that said "Chicks with d***s" and said if I don't give money for them to uninstall it wouldn't stop. I was a little upset as the "Chicks" d**k was bigger than mine.

They rely on tips for their livelihood. Wonder how the creator of this gem would feel if someone replaced the cash in his wallet with a few of these?

    It is impossible to tell from this picture who did this. But I know that some religious groups have done this many times - they print fake money, spread it everywhere and if someone takes the money they see that it is just an advertisement about Jesus stuff.

Or do you want the install to continue for this product and the uninstallation of related and unrelated products, which may include essential components of your operating system? Remember that the wrong choice may remove all saved and unsaved data, except data that may or may have not been cached with the installed product, which are still at risk of deletion.

    This one is not a scam of any sorts; the cup is not meant to be impossible to fall over, especially if you intentionally push it past its limits; it's simply supposed to keep standing if you accidentally nudge it, and I mean, lightly nudge it.
