Why you can hardly trust anyone anymore, not even your food

Santa Claus isn’t real, the Easter Bunny is made up and your muesli isn’t being honest with you either. If you look at these deceptive packages and disillusions, you won’t dare trust anyone anymore – and that’s probably justified.

We’re not naïve. We understand that sometimes a package says ‘New recipe’ and that this means something has been tweaked in the ingredients so the manufacturer can make more money. And that Venco isn’t being entirely honest when they put ‘Tastiest licorice mix’ on a packet of licorice – because they put that on every packet of licorice. (And in our opinion, this is the tastiest licorice, but that’s beside the point).

Completely duped by misleading packaging

But the line between commercial exaggeration and outright lying and cheating is a fine one, and the manufacturers in this series of photos have crossed it by a mile. What disappointments have you had to deal with at the supermarket and in your kitchen cupboard?
