Who stole the cookie from the cookie jar? Apparently, no one; there was only one cookie in the package. There has to be a reasonable explanation of why this cookie company produced containers that fit one cookie. We feel bad for whoever bought these cookies; even if the weight on the packaging is correct, it’s still very disappointing to see that companies trick their buyers like this.
The plastic packaging might have cost more than the actual cookie production, which turns this product into something very uneconomical to the consumer, but, perhaps very profitable to the manufacturer.
Starbucks
Consumers have been complaining about the company's practices of Starbucks for years; people have even gotten the law involved! Here's something to notice next time you order an iced drink at the world's most famous coffee shop. Ice! Starbucks loads its drinks with ice, which leaves you with two sips best.
Your best bet around this scam is to order the drink with no ice and ask for a cup of ice on the side to add yourself! Take that, Starbucks! If you're (Starbucks) not going to change your ways, then we will have to.
KFC
Scandals may come and go, but the love for fast food stays forever and don't you just love fried chicken? So here is a little fact that you might not love that much. In 2013, a video of an employee showcasing mac-and-cheese and green beans went viral. "Why," you may be asking yourselves.
Well, according to him, they had been there "three of four days." Not only that, but the employee repackaged the food to be served the following day! The video surfaced again in 2017, and KFC stated that their policies and practices had been improved since the filming.
Listerine
Why would Listerine ever think to wrap their packs in another pack if they weren't packing two packs together? The answer? Apparently, the breath strips are very breakable, and they need extra protection. Other than the fact they tricked us into thinking there were at least two packs of Listerine strips in this packing, it's just plain wasteful.
They definitely could have designed a smaller package, but then again, why would being straightforward with their customers appeal to them? there are s many wrong things about this product. There is no sustainability, no transparency and it is no pride in being on this LISTerine.
Essence
Is it ever too early to learn that the real world will only disappoint you? Well, if you want to get a kickstart at teaching your kids, these Essence nail stickers are exactly what you need. How is one supposed to "be happy" when only one-third of this whole packaging is full? Perhaps kids (more than us) will understand that nothing comes before profit and that this was a completely reasonable marketing move.
And do you know what the worst thing is? and we have a feeling this was done deliberately. Any child will be gone and done with this within no time, which will make us go and buy another pack.
