Some packaging designs are so evil, even Satan himself couldn't have created them. No, the sinister creations Bored Panda has featured in this list came from places far more darker than Hell. Corporate greed. From printing misleading captions to hiding the (lack of) contents of their products, the a**hole companies behind these deceptions are so shameless, they deserve all the shaming they can get.

This definitely shouldn't be legal if they appear to be equally deep on the outside

Lisa Frank seems to be twice as shiny but five times the price for a quarter of the product. And that’s just an opinion I got while shopping for stickers for my nieces.

I have also been victim to this one. How could you, Lisa Frank?

I have to wonder where these people are shopping. While deceptive packaging can happen anywhere, dollar stores, dollar bins (at places like Michael's and Target), and discount places like Big Lots/Ollie's are notorious for this kind of thing because they know customers are looking for a too-good-to-be-true sort of deal. I'm not saying that you can't find good deals at these places sometimes, only that you have to be a shrewd shopper to avoid disappointment. Even then, you sometimes get burned, but that's the risk you take when you do deep discounts. I wouldn't put it past Wal-mart either, but I haven't shopped there in the last 20 years because their business ethics are pure evil, so I can't speak from experience there.

Ridiculous, companies should be required by law to clearly state how much of the product there is in the package, no "approximately" something

Now that seriously takes the p**s. I bet it's ridiculously overpriced too.

Wtf?! This is just pathetic. And pretty stupid of them, too; I doubt anyone would buy it for the second time.
