We all know that everything in advertisements looks just a little better than it does in real life. But some brands really take things too far.

1. If you thought there was a generous amount of filling on that sandwich. Think again:

2. They must have thought: half full is still full.

3. Are these fossils or chocolates?

6. “Apparently, the 25% less sticker wasn’t only about the price.”

8. Here you go: a delicious serving of hot air.

9. “Either the packaging is lying, or someone has already licked my ice cream.”

11. It would have been better called one berry loaf.
