No one can really tell the difference if your bag says Gucci or Gercho, so who really cares, you know? Someone else around the corner has bootleg everything, from classic movies to Oreos. It just so happens that only sometimes bootleg and knockoff products become absurd.

It's a skill to make an amazing bootleg or knockoff that's close to the original, but not quite close enough that anyone can do anything about it.

More alarmingly, sometimes it's hard to see what kind of brand recognition they were going for in the first place.

It's basically like a fun game to see what kind of bootleg Pringles people can come up with at this point. Prangles, prongles, you name it.
