We never really liked googly eyes; they always had a way of irking us out. Now we have all the more reason to dislike them. You’d expect the jar to have a substantial amount of googly eyes inside, wouldn’t you? However, when you look at the bottom of this bottle, there’s a plastic tube right down the middle. This has us rolling our (googly) eyes!
You would have thought that considering these eyes weigh so little and are relatively easy and cheap to produce, they would have offered a full bottle’s worth of eyes, but then again, business is business, and if the producer of these can do whatever they want, so can we. No more purchasing eye for us.
Doritos
When "more to share" really means "more plastic wasted," we're ticked off! Doritos thought of a clever way to sell more expensive bags of chips when really, you're getting the same amount. If there's something our parents taught us, it's always read the fine print, and let's just say we're happy we listened to them!
The Doritos bag claims it's a bigger bag, but reading the tiny text; you'll notice it contains the same amount as the standard bag. Remember- the size doesn't always count, there is more (or less) than just the packaging and at the end of the day, listening to our parents will only benefit us. We promise.
Emergency Alert
When an ad is disguised as an emergency alert, we can’t help but be unimpressed with such a weak tactic. Getting people's attention through tricks about an emergency exit is dangerous but also incredibly tacky. Using such a cheap trick is a great way to ensure that your consumers are cautious.
And besides, this is supposed to bring people into a tranquility zone, right? We mean, that it was meditation is all about. Since when in bright red and the words emergency and every, been related to tranquility? We have a feeling Master Kirsty found herself alone at Heart of Bay and began 2018 solely.
Abus Locks
The last time we checked, our vision was 20/20, and we weren't color-blind. That being said, this explicitly says green lock, so why is it blue? Perhaps they meant that the locks are eco-friendly, which would be a sound explanation for what's written. Even so, this still doesn't explain why they decided on advertising a materially green lock.
It adds both unnecessary confusion and disappointment when you're anticipating finding a green lock. And besides, who are they to decide which color lock we should end up with? A green bike goes with a green lock and a blue bike goes with a blue lock. Let's see if you can explain this any differently t a child.
Kellogg's Eggo Waffles
Some parents use foods kids love to trick them into eating fruits and veggies. Well, Kellogg's one-upped parents in the biggest ruse of them all, advertise blueberry waffles, but then only put ONE blueberry in them. This is a sure way to have kids going crazy for these waffles, and their parents are too confused and angered to say no!
The rules are very simple to follow so repeat after us. Not all green edible things are healthy (green Skittles for example), occasionally you come across a plural word, however, a single word is what's more likely to e found (blueberry and blueberries), and most importantly, if Kellogs and the brand behind the food, there is a limit to how good it can be.
