The greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment. This has got to be some sort of practical joke, don’t you agree? Who doesn’t want a balloon in the shape of a smiley face? We know we do. Just imagine throwing an Emoji themed birthday, finding these perfect balloons, blowing them up in anticipation, and then seeing this…
This has got to be an AliExpress product that was bought for $0.99 (for a pack of 100) and not one minute of thought was invested when designing this. Now all that is left is to think about a good excuse that will resonate this to a seven-year-old happy birthday child.
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.
Jimmy Dean
Growing up, going to carnivals was our favorite thing to do. Not because of the rides or the prizes, but because of the corn dogs. How excited we were to find them in a store, bringing the thrill of the carnival home with us. That was until we opened the box. Something is missing here. Is it the pancake or the sausage? To us, it seems like both.
When Jimmy Dean advertised five sticks, what they meant was five sticks. Nothing else. It's either this or the assembly line in the factory mistook the chocolate on a stick with the package-covered hot dogs and ended up with this. We have no other explanation.
Rope
Once again, this list proves that advertisers use all sorts of ways to trick us, the consumers, into buying what they're offering. This time, it's no laughing matter. When you advertise rope - using a climber in the packaging - you should expect climbers to buy the product. This is why this makes it all the more dangerous that this is not climbing rope.
We're left with one question. Of all the things to do with rope, why advertise the one thing you cannot use this rope for? We're still surprised that someone hasn't sued this brand for the misleading image on the packaging.
