15 companies that try to trick customers with “deals” that are actually cons
Some companies will go to great lengths to con people. These 15 instances are some of the worst.
Everyone likes to get a deal. There’s no satisfaction like knowing that you’re getting more for less. On the flip side, there’s nothing worse than getting conned.
Getting less for more is downright painful. And companies that try to dress up their cons as deals are just reprehensible.
Here are 15 of the most shameless attempts that companies have gone to to fool their loyal customers:
1. Snickers was sniggering all the way to the bank
Wow, two snickers bars in one! More like one and a half.
2. Counting to 40 is not this company’s forte
The packaging says that there are approximately 40 pizza rolls inside. What would you say is an acceptable amount to have in the bag, in that case? 37? 36? Well, this bag contained 27.
3. Look a little closer
I bet the bartenders love telling the customers that it’s just free Wi-Fi and cold beer.
4. Another tiny letters scam
That’s right, only juice… and all the other crap we put into the juice.
5. Just when you thought the writing couldn’t get any harder to read
Technically, it does say sunflower oil above the bit that says extra virgin olive oil. It’s just almost impossible to read it.
6. Wow! A whole bucket of- Oh.
It’s bad enough that the eggs are hollow!
7. It should be the law to stack these upside down
Then again, it’s not like dried spices last a long time, so why sell a full bottle?
8. Just imagine the face of the person when they opened this
On the bright side, they got some extra air!
9. Quick question, what’s copper made out of?
According to this company, the answer is stainless steel.
10. Display only kettle
Imagine paying about $40 for a cup of coffee!
11. WARNING – TAKE ACTION IMMEDIATELY
Because nothing puts you in the mood for some relaxing meditation like thinking you’ve got a computer virus.
12. More air to share!
That’s what you call a Doripoff.
13. I hope it’s not a hefty fine…
Who would have thought a tattoo place named after a Hannibal Lecter movie would be sneaky?
14. A stands for Absolutely none!
At least it has plenty of carbs.
15. Who wants a full sandwich anyway?
Technically that means fewer calories!
