Finding out that you were being lied to is probably one of the worst feelings out there. It’s sad and disappointing and, if the lie was significant, it often has lasting repercussions. It makes people trust their surroundings less, grow more suspicious, and even become insecure about their future. 

And while being lied to by someone you know and hold dear is 100% awful, being lied to by a company that you don’t care about can somehow make you feel even angrier. Company lies feel like worthless violations of trust that could have been easily avoided. But no, they just had to manipulate your perception and vulnerability for their personal gain. Jerks.

The following list is full of examples of people getting their days ruined by greedy corporations. So, scroll down with caution or you too will start having trust issues.

This Tea Towel. The Patterned Part Was The Only Portion Visible On The Packaging

aubrigation Report

Deceitful packaging seems to be an epidemic that’s so common, people don’t even bat an eye at it. It is sort of expected, in a way, to be lied to by companies.

You got tricked by packaging? Well, that’s your own fault, you should know better. Corporations will always find ways to avoid regulation and it’s now on you, the consumer, to do your due diligence and not fall for the cheap tricks. And there are many of them out there.

    Take the overall feel of the packaging design, for example. This one is all about first impressions and marketers love using it to their advantage. They put so much effort into making it just right. That’s because this where they try to trip you over first.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    For instance, some companies like to make their product look rustic with off-white colors and curious font choices so that you would assume the item is somewhat natural. They pop a person with a straw hat on it and voila, it seems like you plucked this product straight from a farmer’s market. Even though, quality-wise, it’s no different from the next product on the shelf.

    I would report the company to a Consumers' Association. This is actually a robbery. The problem is, in some countries there aren't any consumers' protection laws. (Is the label in Bahasa Indonesia?)

    Then, there are sleek and simple designs that give off a false impression of luxury. A neat font, a single pastel color, and minimal wording and you feel like this has to be the top-notch choice. Often, though, the only thing that makes it different from the other products is the higher price tag.

    Brand names are also pretty bad offenders here. That’s because they are used as a work-around to all the rules you have to adhere to actually make your product stand out. The worst ones in this category have to be the greenwashing ones. All the names with “natural”, “healthy”, “green”, or “planet” in them. They instantly give you an impression that the item is eco-friendly even though many of those words aren’t regulated in any way.

    However, this is not the only time marketers just slap on a word on their product to elevate its value. This goes for other words such as “professional”, “plus”, or “lean.” No one needs to prove any of those to actually use them.

    Then, there are claims that come under brand names. These are statements such as “made with real fruit” or “contains whole grain”. Sure, it probably does, that isn’t the lie. The thing is that to make that claim one only needs to put the tiniest amount of it in your product.

    Similarly, brands can manipulate you into thinking their product is better by adding a bunch of badges on it. This can be gluten or cholesterol free as well as claims that the food or drink is low in calories, fat, or sugar. This does not mean they are nutritionally more valuable than your other options. In fact, the low-carb claim is not even regulated, so virtually any product can have it. So, you better check the back of the label to really know what you’re getting.

    I queried this at my health food store (re:vitamins). I was told the label must be big enough to include all information (some of it required by law). Which is quite a misdirection because reveal labels that can be peeled back to show more text, are very commonly available.

    While you’re checking the back of the label, don’t just pay attention to the macro nutrients (protein, carbohydrates, and fat) as they only say a fraction about how good for you the product actually is. Check the calorie content as well as serving size. The companies love to mess with the later one, as it allows them to claim the product is healthier than it actually is.

    Funnily enough, if you bash cornflakes around so that they break up into little pieces, they take up a lot less room in the pack. These are sold by weight, regardless of box size. Where I am really unhappy with Mr Kelllogg is that they recently reduced the size of all their boxes of Rice Krispies, with the 510g shrinking to 440g (17 vs 14 servings) and the price stayed the same. Robbing gits.

    It isn't though, when it is first added to the bag directly from the machine it fills the package up considerably. This is the size the package needs to be in order to accommodate the volume of the product before settling that meets the weight requirement. If the package was only as large as the final volume in this picture then it would not fit in the bag when first filled.

    What sucks about this packaging is that it is not re-sealable. I buy lunch meat that will expire before I can eat all of it and I get a ziplock. But a box of cereal with an expiration date 2 years in the future has no way to reseal it!

    In this case (and similar products, like crisps or biscuits) check the weight. There's always a lot of air in the bag to protect the product, so that you won't get a bag of crumbs instead of a bag cereal.

    and probably a "software update" to reduce the battery capacity. "interesting" what one can achieve with different software configurations without having to change the physical product.

    They fixed this a while ago. I still have to wonder what they were thinking when that packaging was approved for sale.

    I'd just about allow it if there were 4 more in there. The centre "button" is to prevent the box getting squashed.

    I got a bunch of these sorts of things one year. White marshmallow ball, eyeball on the packaging, they had some kind of filling. I was FORCED to eat most of them so that no one else had to suffer the disappointment. Poor me.

    well at some point the tube becomes too small to handle. Imagine how finicky it would be if it was just big enough to handle three drops of the substance. Not everybody has the dexterity to squeeze that, or or the eyesight to find it again if they accidentally drop it on the floor. A lot of tiny items are sold in this way for ease of handling.

    The problem is the way they're packaged. You get a completely random amount of each and yes, that does result in lots of packages with extremely uneven distribution. You get some with tons of one sort and next to none of others. If the distribution is even or mostly even, they don't pack pre mixed items, it runs through a packing band that adds some of each at each station. It's impossible to get even packaging with premixed sorts. You can test that at home. Take an even number of equally sized items, whatever it is, then mix them in a non see through bag ad draw randomly by grabbing a fistful. You'll see you rarely ever get even distributions. Also the la place experiment shows this. You throw a dice that's perfectly balanced, so if you throw it a thousand times, all numbers will apper roughly the same amount of times, but if you look at ten throws in a row, you'll see a very uneven distribution despite the chances all being equal. That's what random means
