<\/h3>\n

These are from Diply.com<\/a>, and while some of them may make you feel better about recycling, #10 is really disturbing if you buy brand-name underwear.\u00a0 And in a bit of irony, the article in Diply is titled “23 pics…” but after the first page it changes to “16 pics…” so they were kinda lying too, yes?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

1. Those long lighters you use for barbecues and candles? They’re really just smaller lighters on the inside.<\/h3>\n
Still pretty handy to have around, but this kind of spoils the magic.<\/section>\n

2. There’s nothing especially fancy about a fire alarm like you might expect \u2014 there’s just a simple toggle underneath.<\/h3>\n
Honestly, I expected many more bells and whistles. Bells in particular.<\/section>\n

3. If you thought your tablet case was going to be 100% new materials, think again.<\/h3>\n
This one here is made out of old toothpaste boxes. Recycling paper comes in many forms!<\/section>\n

4. When you think you’re buying an SD card, sometimes you’re buying a Micro SD card inside an SD card case.<\/h3>\n
But hey, as long as it works, that’s what matters, right?<\/section>\n

5. Apparently the makers of Bocce balls are all about re-purposing and recycling, because they contain old billiard balls.<\/h3>\n
You’d think this would affect the weight distribution or the balance of the Bocce balls, but maybe that’s not such a big deal.<\/section>\n

6. Another use for old pool balls? As the base for a cue ball.<\/h3>\n
So pool balls don’t fall far from the old table! They sure can take a beating and keep on rolling.<\/section>\n

7. Not sure what it is about recycling game stuff, but even dice can be made from old dice?<\/h3>\n
Doesn’t it feel like it would be easier to just make a brand new die instead? Maybe it would last longer, too?<\/section>\n

8. The rattle inside a spray paint can isn’t anything\u00a0sinister<\/a>\u00a0or even terribly interesting \u2014 it’s a plain old marble.<\/h3>\n
I always thought it was a little pebble or maybe a plastic ball. Nope. Marble.<\/section>\n

9. This can of Arizona Green Tea was originally intended for Shaq Blueberry Cream Soda.<\/h3>\n
Looks like his sodas weren’t exactly a slam dunk with thirsty folks, because they’ve been re-purposed.<\/section>\n

10. These Fruit of the Loom boxers pack a little something extra in the waistband \u2014 Joe Boxers.<\/h3>\n
Which is sort of a step up, right? Or it means Joe Boxer has been ripping us off as much as we rip them off.<\/section>\n

11. Inside this 9-Volt battery are six AAAA batteries.<\/h3>\n
Again, not sure exactly what I expected, but certainly not just a bunch of smaller batteries. Are all batteries just Russian nesting dolls that provide electricity?<\/section>\n

12. This Halloween ‘ghost’ chocolate bears a striking resemblance to a chocolate Christmas bell.<\/h3>\n
Eh, I guess I’d eat it either way, but is it wrong to hope for a little more effort from the candy-makers?<\/section>\n

13. Buried beneath the label for a can of Febreze was a label for another air freshener: Ambi Pur.<\/h3>\n
Which is really\u00a0Febreze<\/a>\u00a0by another name \u2014 it all depends on where in the world it’s being sold.<\/section>\n

14. This car key fob lost its Chrysler tag, revealing that it once had another life as a Mercedes key fob.<\/h3>\n
Same parent company, but oh how the mighty have fallen.<\/section>\n

15. It’s hard to say for sure whether the shoe deodorizer just went into the anti-perspirant bottle, or if they’re actually the same stuff, but the optics aren’t good.<\/h3>\n
Would you put shoe deodorizer under your pits?<\/section>\n

16. You know what makes those slap bracelets work? They’re just tape measures inside.<\/h3>\n
Pretty ingenious use for old\/broken tape measures, really. Someone must have made a fortune off of them.<\/section>\n

17. This was supposed to be a tube of Speed Stick deodorant, but at the bottom it said ‘Right Guard.’<\/h3>\n
And they’re not made by the same company \u2014 Speed Stick is a\u00a0Colgate-Palmolive<\/a>\u00a0brand, while Right Guard is made by\u00a0Henkel<\/a>. So what gives?<\/section>\n

18. This ShopRite receipt printed off on receipt paper from Macy’s.<\/h3>\n
Here’s hoping this isn’t actually a sign of hard times for ShopRite. It’s okay for this to just be weird.<\/section>\n

19. The jeans in this display aren’t really jeans at all.<\/h3>\n
It’s just some foam wrapped in denim made to look like layers of jeans. The secret is out!<\/section>\n

Apple is gray now? Pineapple is blue? Lemon is orange? Strawberry is purple and banana is green? What world do these pens even live in?<\/section>\n

21. This person bought a pack of cream soda and found a root beer can inside. In the root beer can? Orange soda.<\/h3>\n
That’s just a roller coaster of deception.<\/section>\n
