product

Sparkling water is a decisive topic. Some appreciate a light alternative to juice and soda, and everyone else demands to know where the flavor is. It's hard for many of us to spend money on a product whose selling point is that there's almost nothing in it, and that generates some pretty hilarious complaints. For more twitter stuff, here are funny tweets to give that day a boost.

For such a pointless and suggestive product, anyone who sells the Banana Bunker has to be ready to field a storm of joke questions. Buying stuff online can have its drawbacks, like this guy who just tried to order boxes. You never know what kind of product reviews you might get, like this review for electric knuckles that's a fight for the ages.

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. Companies don't really have to time and energy to go after every single case of copyright infringement and bootleg behavior, so some really good ones slip through. More alarmingly, sometimes it's hard to see what kind of brand recognition they were going for in the first place.

People are dumb. You don't even need to see any classic facepalm moments of dumbness to know that. The interesting thing is that people are so reliably dumb that it's changed the reality of our world. Laws, warnings, products, industries and many other things exist because of human stupidity.

Are you bored of seeing the same mainstream products, restaurants and entertainment over and over again? Well people are working around the clock to achieve that same brand recognition without having to pay pesky licensing fees. These desperate yet charming knockoff brands put smiles on our faces, even if the products themselves make no sense.

There's something special about seeing a product or thing that you haven't thought about once in 20 years. There's something satisfying about those little "a-ha" moments you get from remembering a toy you used to have, a commercial you saw over and over again or seeing a twitter thread that takes a voyage through being in school in the 90s.

You wouldn't think that cartoonish scams like selling a sandwich with one slim front-facing strip of meat would still exist these days, but for some reason the practice of misleading products is going strong. Here are products designed by monsters that sell something other than advertised, charge people for BS, or have misleading interfaces.

The bad part about making a product or sign is that if you obviously screw up, a whole bunch of people are gonna see it and get to laugh at your mistake. The upside is that a whole bunch of people are going to see it, and they get to laugh at your mistake. Here are some more dumb design fails that were someone's one job.

We like to think there's some set of rigid standards that applies to all products and advertising, but the reality is that most companies will just do whatever they can get away with. That leads to some devious and horrible products designed to manipulate people. Seriously, a lot of products are designed by jerks.

Some of the stuff rich people can afford feels like it should be hugely illegal, but some of the other stuff they can afford seems like only something a complete idiot would buy. Who needs a hand carved, perfectly cube shaped ice cube? This stuff must feel like a wicked insult to anyone who realized they grew up poor, and probably results in some really terrible rich kid syndrome.

If you're into stupidly redundant construction decisions,  shirts that accidentally say "anus," or signs for businesses that also accidentally say "anus" than you've come to the right place. Let's be real, some design can use some extra thought, and some of it, like these magazine layout fails, are freakin awesome.

Soulless people will do anything to make a quick buck. They'll make uncomfortable standing airline seats to save on space, charge people to go to the bathroom, advertise a cheap product and charge a hundred dollars for shipping, literally hide fine print by making it the same color as the background, and do even more devious BS when they think of it. These are examples of deceptive and crappy products. Like seriously, these were designed by the devil.

Do you get mad when a sale advertises cheap stuff but the fine print is microscopic? How about a dating app that charges you when you try to delete your account? Or an oven that makes you sign terms and conditions? How about a food delivery service that literally steals the money you tip its employees? These and many other terrible and misleading products designed by monsters can be found in app stores and regular stores all around the globe.

Someone on AskReddit asked people to share those things that people should seriously stop buying. Whether it's buying into MLMs, or purchasing those sketchy bath products that give off all kinds of questionable chemicals, the following should serve as a guide into how you can avoid spending your money recklessly. 

These are the kind of reviews that we live for. We're pretty certain this guy pulled this story out of thin air. He absolutely gets bonus points for the creativity and lovable stupidity though. 

Everyone's trying to make a quick buck and we don't blame em for getting as close as they can with bootleg products without getting arrested for violating some kind of copyright or trademark law. 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.
