Truly Baffling Product Designs That Left Customers Feeling Cheated
If you’ve ever bought a “sharing size” bag of chips or a “new and improved” product, you might have fallen for some of the packaging tricks that are used to trick customers out of their hard earned cash.
Some food items even advertise their products as “homemade” or “natural” while the fine print explains that these words shouldn’t be used to describe the products at all!
Product designs are about as deceptive as the ads that get you to buy them. They offer you the illusion that they are bigger than they seem or that they offer exactly what is represented on the image of the box.
But these customers discovered that looks can be so deceiving and these products left them feeling scammed.
These Taro Cakes Are Missing Filling
These mini-cakes are supposed to have Taro-flavored filling in the middle like the box shows. But this customer was so disappointed when he took a bite and realized that the filling looked more grey than the vibrant purple filling pictured on the package.
He was also disappointed in just how little filling there was compared to what he was expecting!
The Ball Pit Without Enough Balls
The packaging on this ball pit product indicates that there are a lot of multi-colored balls to fill the play pen. But when they set the ball pit up, they learned that there are simply not enough balls to cover a corner of the pit, let alone the entire thing.
A Full-Sized Pizza With Only a Quarter of the Meatballs
A packaged stuffed crust pizza sounds like a dream come true. But this customer had to deal with a total nightmare when she removed the pizza from the package and discovered that only 25 percent of the pizza was covered with meatballs.
This Mostly Empty Beef Jerky Box
One would assume that a box of beef jerky would be completely filled entirely. But when this customer opened the box, they found that the beef jerky was only lined against the border of the box to make it seem like the box was full. In reality, the interior was completely empty.
