50 Times Companies Put Profits Above Ethics With Their Packaging Designs (New Pics)

That is LITERALLY cheating!

One container, one lid. 😡

There is a practical purpose: to deceive you

It even says ‘compound chocolate’ 😂 like it isn’t the most cheaply produced sweet already. Mega mega stingy

Never mess with a hungry pregnant!

Oh my.

This lotion is like $70 a bottle too.

Lately I’ve bought a few things that were advertised as linen or cotton and turned out not to be, it seems to be a rising problem. I also handle a lot of yarn in my job and it is rife in that industry; the product name will use a word that implies wool/cashmere/mohair when it’s all acrylic.

Kroger did this to my brownies 😡😡🤬

Or any branch of Pret aanywhere in the world.

those bees get around

I have one of those in my desk drawer at work. You can’t tell how long it is because of the plastic tray.

They could absolutely get sued for this one

It is just a plain chocolate with no dried fruits like written on the package

The question, is the written and paid gramm of chocolate in the package? If not, that's ilegal, if yes, it§s a waste of plastic.

Beside the cream, that pastry dough doesn't look croissant at all

This is why I always compare products by weight and price, in order to get the best deal.

I applaud the OP’s patience!

Fraud

Impossible to see!

Been there. By the time you roll those gel deodorants up enough to use them, it's like, what did I actually pay for?

I worked for Lindt, I can answer for lindor balls (I was lindors caramel girl 😂). They are the MOST insanely sensitive to transport chocolates ever, they need plenty of bounce room, not to smoosh or smash (depending on temperature). Also in our contracts we have to make sure any we have on hand are always stored and transported in a very air conditioned room. Which sucked for me one summer when I had boxes and my cars air con ran out of gas. They are the soufflés of chocolate.

The containers of these are standardised, and powder compacts with time. And because I know what these threads are like: an explanation is not support.

Wouldn't the packaging have to list that it had ten and not twelve? Has anyone had this issue before?

Fannie Mae still makes candy?

And 25g is the nett weight, so the product without the packaging . . . or at least it should be.

I’ve experienced this as well. Surely they’re passing the savings onto the workers, right? Right?

Ordered girl scout cookies lately? Same c**p.

It might be like the one further up, the smaller size might make it easier for you to get more out of it without having to open it. If the quantity on the container is accurate it's fine. The larger surround makes it fit better with the upper bit.

35% more profits for tictac?

This looks like an error. Check the weight, contact the manufacturer, this is not normal.

Someone took your bun buns :( or on the factory line it fell out before boxing. That’s always sad, the bunny is the best part

"Vagetable", "tomtaoes".

Pretty standard for this type of product. This is why you should always be checking the unit, in this case oz, price.

This 🐂💩 gets tiring 😒

Dr. Oetker is the worst frozen pizzas around, but hopefully these were cheap.

Maybe there is a reason they put air space or a vacuum between the contents and the outside.

Question: Claritin is an anti-histamine and will do nothing for a cold, why buy this for a cold?

Maybe the extra spaces in the cardboard are for sorting the pieces?

Caesin will not trigger lactose intolerance, so it can be advertised this way. However, caesin WILL trigger milk allergies, so that has to be made clear on the packaging. This is made specifically for people with lactose intolerance, if you're a vegan get some specifically labelled vegan creamer.

couldn't you just flip it over and see this?

That’s clearly a sample.

Only false advertising if they don't list the grams etc or pieces on the box.

"masking fragrances are designed to conceal a bad smell and create a neutral smell." I had to look this up to see what it was, so I am not really sure what this person can smell. I'm really curious though.

I’m not bagging my Filipino snacks, but they do this a lot too with snack cakes.

Are the rest of them like this too? Seems like it's a single package error, beause this is not normal.

Sometimes the weight doesn’t indicate much info to the consumer, especially if they’ve never bought the product before. Like, say this says 300g worth of cookies on the package, and you’re not really sure how many of these exact cookies 300g is, then you pull the tray out and realize THIS is what 300g of cookies means…it still gives an icky feeling knowing they tried to make the package bigger so people would think 300g is more cookies than it actually is….am I making sense?

I love gravy, and I’m slightly disgusted and curious by this gravy mayo.

*resists making a joke about a snake being called a schlange* 🫣

Isn't this just how they are made? It would be different if the icypole part was flat across the top.

Hey its really cold outside.

"When used as directed"

The box is clear. You can clearly see that only the cookies in the front have sprinkles. Clearly.

Similar to when you buy tissue to stuff into gift bags. The top sheet is a pretty design, but all the other sheets are plain white.

This is very common lots of juice is flavored apple juice. Just enough of the juice for the flavor but mainly apple juice.

Return it, or contact the manufacturer.

Contact the manufacturer.

It probably has more real fruit in it than one of these "fruit" drinks.

But is it 6 bars like it says on the box?

Packaging error. 16-17 minutes is for the jumbo shells, not the shells & cheese.

what IS it?

Doesn't this have more to do with the rising mechanism? Again, look at the unit price and compare to other brand.

This looks like a mistake the bag next to it looks normal.
