8 times food packaging totally ripped you off

The dead sparrow—you know the feeling, right? Well, that feeling, but then the sparrow turns out to consist only of a front, with the entire back half missing. So it’s not surprising that these people say they’re finding it difficult to trust anything anymore, when you see how food packaging rips them off…

Because nobody likes being screwed over when they think they’ve bought a cheerful SpongeBob ice cream, only to end up with a monstrous little creature. And these packages also paint a much prettier picture than reality:

1. A smoke screen

2. A corndog that’s been on a diet

3. Half a cheddar

4. (Not) in the mix

5. One illusion poorer

6. Highly concentrated superfood

7. You mean chocolate rip-off cookies

8. It was too good to be true

9. A cardboard sign for your head
