This is from Bored Panda, and it boggles the mind that these are even LEGAL. People come in to my store all the time and claim “FALSE ADVERTISING!” because we have a sign in the wrong place, but these all scream False Advertising! more than anything I’ve ever seen. Seriously on #11, is it legal to say “Approximately 40 and have 27?” Shame!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s 25 and there will be 25 more coming next post….<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some <\/em>packaging designs<\/em><\/a> are so evil, even Satan himself couldn’t have created them. No, the sinister creations <\/em>Bored Panda<\/em><\/strong> has featured in this list came from places far more darker than Hell. Corporate greed. From printing misleading captions to hiding the (lack of) contents of their products, the a**hole companies behind these deceptions are so shameless, they deserve all the shaming they can get.
