People Are Shaming These Knockoff Brands In This Online Group And Here Are 40 Of The Most Blatant Ones (New Pics)
When it comes to creativity, I believe that not even the sky’s the limit… especially if there’s potential profit involved. And one place that the human imagination truly shines (for better or for worse… probably for worse) is in the creation of knockoff products that are meant to capitalize on the success of well-known brands.
The r/crappyoffbrand subreddit pokes fun at all the hilariously bad knockoff products that can be found around the globe and make up a surprisingly large part of the global economy, and we’ve collected some of the best new pics featured by their 908k+ strong memberbase.
While I’m getting myself a nice refreshing glass of Bepsi and some delicious turkey NcMoggets, have a scroll down, upvote the pics that made you smile and laugh, and share your own encounters with cheap knockoffs in the comments! Psst, Pandas, want to feast your eyes on more knockoffs? They’re free, no strings attached, we promise. All you have to do is click here for our previous article about the ‘Crappy Off Brand’ subreddit.

Counterfeit goods really are big business. However, it’s difficult to put a specific number on its impact because, well, it’s not exactly all legal, is it? That’s why the numbers can vary a lot depending on what report you read.
There’s a huge demand for knockoff products and according to one report released by the OECD and the EUIPO in 2019, it’s an industry that’s worth over 500 billion dollars globally. “The value of imported fake goods worldwide topped $509 billion based on 2016 customs seizure data, up from $461 billion in 2013, the latter of which represents 2.5% of world trade,” writes TFL.

Meanwhile, World Trademark Review points to the 2018 Global Brand Counterfeiting Report which shows that the volume of international trade in counterfeit goods reached a whopping 1.2 trillion dollars in 2017.
Created back in 2015, the ‘Crappy Off brand’ subreddit will be celebrating its 6th birthday on June 14. The sub’s moderators set a high standard for the type of content that people can post. Not everything is a good fit for r/crappyoffbrand, you see.
Who Lives In A Pineapple Burnt Third Degree!
When the pizza rolls are too hot, but you don't want to spit it out:
I don't think this is a knockoff so much as the effort of a skilled metal worker to create a fun barbecue/fire pit.
Collection Of Oreo Knockoffs
Yup I've Got Me Some Ohio with a bag of "Eat the Middle." Who Nu it would be (Mario's) Best, and I feel as if I have been Borneo into the revolution of creameos that just makes me want to twist and shout!!
The funny thing is that Oreo themselves are a knockoff of Hydrox. Iirc Oreo won due to better marketing and keeping up with changes in the market.
Me neither. I tried some once and don't get the hype. The cookie tasted like chalk and the cream was to sweet for my taste buds (which are used to EU sweets). To each their own, I guess *shrug*

In this day and age, if you want to be shrek with titties, that’s completely fine, trust me, I think this is the look my neighbour is headed for
When you stop selling maternity clothes, that doesn't mean you have to throw out the mannequin.
For instance, the mods make it perfectly clear that if you post absolutely anything related to Fall Guys or Among Us, you’ll end up being banned. Our best guess is that the subreddit was over-saturated with products related to the two popular video games and everyone was a tad fed up with seeing the same old things over and over (and over) again.

Load More Replies...What’s more the community is specifically dedicated to bad knockoff brands. That means that no good off-brands are welcome. What’s more, the subreddit isn’t the place for people to post badly designed products: it also has to be a knockoff. Other than that, r/crappyoffbrand’s other rules are pretty much the standard that you’d expect from any other popular subreddit: be nice to others, don’t repost stuff, and don’t advertise your own products.

Usually, these fakeries are leaking acid and destroying electronics; I believe this is called "natural selection": someone who reads the name "PonysaniG" and still uses the battery deserves all the malfunctions!
These sort of things usually show up in devices that already have batteries installed, so you don't even look at them. Way back in the day, sketchy electronics that came with batteries had used batteries harvested from single-use camera flashes.
