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.
Store-Bought Cookies
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.
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.
Pop-Tarts
When the image doesn't completely reflect what lies on the packaging, the brand might risk us ever going back for more. The first time we ever bit into a pop tart, our world was forever rocked. The pastry is filled with a delicious filling only Pop-Tarts knew how to create, and don't get us started on that sweet frosting!
Our nostalgia has got us craving Pop-Tarts...just not the one in this photo. What happened here? Why did Pop-Tarts think it was okay to slack on the frosting? We need answers, and no, the excuse of "it taste exactly the same" is not acceptable.
Shrimp
If you've gotten this far in the article, this one will definitely not surprise you. At first, we laughed. But then, we became upset. Yes, we will admit these shrimp look questionably long, but this kind of deception still troubles us. What can you do with shrimp heads anyway? If anyone has any shrimp head recipes, please, send them our way!
Getting upset is one way of dealing with this however, another way is comprehending that shrimp heads are the perfect base for Bouillabaisse. The classic and ultimate French delicacy. When Chinese brands give you small shrimp, make shrimp soup out of it.
