Guys, update on my quest for the most epic fakes. Just copped a 'Poma' tracksuit, you know, the cousin of Puma that didn't quite make the Olympic team. Also found a 'Johnnie Worker Red Labial', I mean, who needs Scotch when you can have 'Labial'? Dead 😆 Share your finds, …
Yup, Harry Otter. Not Potter. Found this in a discount bin at the mall and couldn't stop laughing. It's a stuffed animal so I guess some otter just got real magical. The lightening bolt is on its belly, prob coz they didn't wanna get sued. Anyway, my dog loves it, …
Let us delve deeply into the morass of knockoff fashion with the hilariously erred 'Dolce & Banana'. This brand exemplifies the sheer audacity of counterfeit culture, sporting a font that’s more akin to Comic Sans' drunk uncle than the sleek sophistication of Dolce & Gabbana's flair. The clothing itself? A …
So I bought these 'MIKE' sneakers (yeah, not a typo) from a shady online store. Championship-level disappointment right here. The swoosh looks more like a wave and they smell like they ran a marathon in a chemical plant. Is it supposed to be Michael Jordan's lesser-known brand or what? LOL
Y'all, another Abibas sighting! Every time, it's like seeing a unicorn that got hit by a truck. This 'triplet' sweater is something else - three wonky stripes, dodgy stitching and the sort of material that gives your skin a rash just by looking at it. Question is, do they think …
I have went to a knockoff of Pizza Hut called "Pizza King", the logo was pretty unappealing to look at. The interior was very stupid. It was themed like an 80s movie, with wax sculptures of an 80s-style man playing guitar and one 80s-style woman doing the dishes! They even …

Saw this 'Revengers: Endless Tussle' DVD at a flea market and I am dying. They got all the characters wrong and I'm here for it! I mean, who wouldn't want to see 'Bulk' smashing and 'Iron Guy' in what looks like a painted cardboard suit? Legit, this is the cinematic …
They say 'Cruncho,' I say 'Crack-o' because my molar is 100% done for. Looks like a Crunch bar, maybe if you squint hard enough, but it eats like a brick. Pretty sure the 'rice' in this is just, like, literal rice grains they found lying around.
Found myself a LEPIN Star Plan set and, not gonna lie, the box art had me for a second. Thought I got a sick deal on a Star Wars LEGO kit. Nope. Those bricks felt like betrayl; they either don't click together or stick like they're life depends on it. …
I have a butter I found on a grocery store today in Shanghai. It's called: "Book, I am your butter" and actually tasted gross. Even my friends didn't want to eat this shit. UPDATE: Threw the whole butter away. Now it's good!

Just went to Family Dollar and found a fake Nintendo Switch console. The name looks suspicious: "NRNSFWSA SRTCOH", and the logo looks like someone took the Nintendo Switch logo and made it worser. As for the console itself, it looks like a Nintendo Switch, except it's shaped differently, and the …

Okay, hear me out, 'Mountain View' is the real MVP. It's like someone took Mountain Dew, forgot the recipe halfway through, and just winged it with sugar, green food dye, and, IDK, hopes and dreams?? Tastes like liquified gummy bears and has enough caffeine to kickstart a dead car battery. …
Behold, the 'Prongles'. A snack posing as the distant cousin of Pringles, perhaps twice removed. What fascinates me is not just the blatant copycat branding but the layers of audacity that accompany it. Let's dissect the logo: where Pringles features the iconic mustachioed man, Prongles offers us a wild boar …
no way dude, saw a 'Pizza Hat' while road trippin. Sign looked like it was made with clip art. Went inside and it’s all cowboy themed?? they served my drink in a boot. 10/10 would eat again for the laugh.
Lemme paint a picture: you walk into this sketchy mall, and there's this store 'Adiddas' with three stripes on the shoe, but one's crooked like it's tryna escape. 😅 The other two are hanging on for dear life! I tried on a pair, and swear the left shoe was plotting …
Have y’all seen these 'Nake' sneakers yet? It's like 'Just Don't Do It'. Found em online on shadysneaks.net or was it feetfakers.com? Can't remember cause I was laughing too hard. The tick mark's upside down, cuz apparently, gravity's reversed on the cheap side of the planet. And those air bubbles? …
So walkin down town and I see this coffee place called 'Sunbucks'. They rip off the logo and everything but it looks like it was drawn by a 5-year-old. Tried their 'Caramel Macchiato' and man, I’ve had sweeter tap water. Gave me a chuckle tho 😂
Walked into the dollar store and guess what? They got these 'Star Wart' action figures. No, it's not a typo. Literally, it's Star Wart. Darth Vader’s got less of a cape and more of a plastic tablecloth thing going on. And 'Luke Skytalker' apparently traded his lightsaber for something that …
Guys, I just had to share this gem I found at a flea market - a *Polystation*. Yes, you read that right. The perfect amalgamation of Sony's finest with a touch of knockoff magic. This console is almost art; it's so beautifully awful. Came packaged with a 'DualShick' controller that …
Alright my deal-lovin' dudes, let's talk 'Prongles'. We ain't settling for Pringles no more, cuz the pig on the can promises 'Once you pop, that's just great!' Went through a can with some skepticism, and they taste exactly like the cardboard they're packed in.
Ok, dig this, scampered thru a thrift shop & snagged these 'Beat by Dr. Dry' cans, cause yo, who needs 'Dre' when you can have 'Dry', amirite? Noice cancelling is basically just muffled sound, plus they got this sweet smell of, I swear, car freshener. Sweet deal for $5 bucks …
No cap, found these 'Star Wnrs' toys at a local shop. Darth Vader's got a purple lightsaber and a smile, yeah, a freaking smile! And guess what, Luke Skywalker now works for the dark side. Their galaxy sounds fun, not as choking with continuity as ours.
Looool, just saw these 'Abidas' trainers, yes, you read that right - 'A B I D A S'. Pretty sure they meant 'bad ideas' cuz these kicks look like they'd fall apart faster than my last relationship. And the colors?! Like, if you hate someone, gift them these.
Alright squad, here's the scoop. Got my hands on a full set of 'Adibas' gear. First off, the logo is a trefoil looking like an alien signal, and those three stripes? More like random tape placed by a toddler. The material, guess what, feels like recycled plastic bags. But here's …
Bro, you ever thirst for a 'Popsi'? Found this gem at a gas station in the middle of nowhere and its slogan is 'Taste the thunder'. Thunder tastes like flat sugar water, would not recommend.
Just stumbled over a pair of 'Niko' sneakers at my local flea market, they got this swoosh lookin' more like a boomerang! 😂 Thought I just entered a parallel universe where Nike never learned how to draw a checkmark properly. Gotta cop? They're only $19.99!
I have saw a GTA V exclusive knockoff called Up-N-Atom Burgers, which is similar to In-N-Out. They have advertisements, merch, and even a TRUCK! Unfortunately, their locations are completely inaccessible and impossible to enter, with blurry interiors. Even the iconic restaurants, like Burger Shot and Cluckin' Bell, do the same …

OMG, just had 'Hexa-Crunch', the off brand version of your fav honey-nutted cereal and it’s just bad. Like eating cardboard with a hint of fake honey. I dare anyone to try it and say it doesn't taste like eating a box instead of what's inside it.. lol good luck!
was in the dollar store and saw these 'Fony' headphones next to the real deal. The brand name might as well be 'Fakey McFakerson.' They only had one color available: neon green. I bought them for the memes but they actually work??? Sound is like if you stuffed your ears …
Gather 'round aficionados of the bootleg, for I present a discovery of epic (and legal) proportions. 'Bat Hero', not to be confused with the actual Caped Crusader. The emblem is more of a black splat than a bat, and the costume colors are... innovative? You'll notice the utility belt is …
Went to buy some games and saw 'Call of Duty'... or so I thought 'till I picked it up. It's 'Call for Duty' HAHA! Can't imagine what this game asks you to call for? Customer service? XD Bet there's no zombies in this version, just angry customers on the other …
Ah, the pleasures of fine cuisine. But what's this? No 'Crunch' but 'Crunché'? Quell horror!

First time post here but had to share. Was at the grocery store and saw Dr. Perky next to the regular sodas. Like, who's out there craving a can of Perky?? Label's got that old-school vibe like they didn't bother to update it since 1991. Tasted like the doc's prescription …
Y'all ever heard of the PolyStation? Picked this bad boy up at a yard sale for $5. It plays all the games - none of which you've actually heard of. Comes with a 'DualsChock' controller and a library of titles like 'Unfamiliar Territory' and 'Racer of Karts'. Pretty sure this …
lol guys check out these kicks i found at the flea market. They got the 'woosh' instead of 'swoosh'. The logo looks like it's tripping over itself. Even has 'Just Do I Think' written on it lmao. These fakes are getting out of hand, I swear!
Fellow cheapsters, why waste cash on Googly smart home devices when glorious BingBong awaits! I got this 'smart speaker' from a dude in a parking lot, sweet deal. I mean, it doesn't understand anything I say, but it lights up and beeps so it must be working, right? Right.
I can't. I just can’t 😂. This belt I snagged at the flea market, stamped all over with 'Calvim Klain', has got to be the pinnacle of tragic fashion faux pas. The 'leather'? More like cheap plastic that cracks if you look at it wrong. And the buckle is literally …
Ladies and Gentlemen, brace yourselves for an in-depth review of the notorious 'Deats by Nani' headphones. Let's dive into the abyss of questionable aesthetics and even more dubious sound quality. **Build Quality & Design**: To the untrained eye, they're spitting image of the Beats we all know. But upon closer …
Hey, I'm kinda new to this subreddit but just found these 'Fony' headphones at the dollar store. lmao they look just like Sony ones. sound quality's like listenin' through a tin can tho, so got what i paid for i guess 😅
wanted to save some cash and got what I thought was a steal on these 'Adidos' shoes. Spoiler: they suck. Wore them once and the sole is comin’ off already. Even the stripes started peelin' off and I just glued them yesterday. Guess you get what you pay for... anyone …
Ah, the PolyStation. A true gem of the crappy offbrand cosmos. This magnificent beast not only promises a PlayStation gaming experience but goes above and beyond to deliver a not-even-close simulation. Its controller, a Frankenstein’s monster of buttons, many of which serve no purpose but to confuse. And let's not …
Guys, I couldn’t resist. Saw this at a flea market this morning. It’s a ‘SpongeRobert RectangleShorts’ action figure. I mean, come on, even the paint job is giving me second-hand embarrassment. One eye is bigger than the other! And his pants aren't even square... they’re like, a lopsided rectangle. The …
Came across this smartphone brand called 'PearPhone'. Looks kinda sleek until you turn it on and it greets you with 'Welcom to you're new Phone!' Them typos tho. The OS seems to be a weird mashup of every system out there, like if they had a party and decided to …
Picked up these 'Addibas' pants that have the stripes running down only one leg. Like, did the other leg not earn its stripes or what? And the logo is just comically bad, with a triangle instead of a trefoil. Wore them to the gym and let's just say, they didn't …
Yo, so I was at this market and I spotted a pair of 'Air Gordons'. Yeah, you heard right, Gordons. They look a bit like the classic Air Jordans but if you squint real hard. The 'jumpman' logo is actually a stick figure dude in mid-fall, and the stitches on …
So my aunt got me this game console called PlayGamer Vii - 'cause y'know, 'it's just as good as the others.' This thing has a controller you wave around but it only responds like half the time and the graphics... lmao, we talkin' about supreme 8-bit in the world of …
I can't even 🤣 Just copped this can of 'Koka-Kaba'. Tastes like if you left a cola out in the sun for a week and then decided to add a sprinkle of artificial sweetener for that extra zing. It's even got the nerve to have a tagline: 'Taste the Kaba!' …
Found a book series called 'The Chronicles of Nania' today, and lemme just say C.S. Lewis is probably stirring in his grave. First off, the cover art looks like it was drawn by someone after a 5-minute brief of the original. The lion looks more like a confused bear, and …
Guys, you won't believe the 'Spoder-Mun' action figure I found at the dollar store. It's got six arms, one eye bigger than the other, and the costume's all neon green and pink??? Thing looks like it ate a real spider and just decided that was the look. #notmyhero
Guys, you haven't tasted life until u've tried Dr. Perky 😑 It's like if Dr. Pepper had a midlife crisis and gave up. Who names these things?? 'Satisfaction guaranteed' it says, more like guaranteed disappointment!
Took my kid to the dollar store and they had these action figures called 'Space Conflicts.' Pretty sure they were tryna rip off Star Wars cause the main dude looked like a low-budget Darth Vader with a lightsaber the color of mustard. The packaging says it's 'Fully Compatible with Major …

Hey sneakerheads, it's your boy here with a PSA on those knockoff kicks. We all know the fakes are getting better, but here's your checklist to not get duped. - Stitching: Look for uneven stitching and poor thread quality on 'Mike' sneakers instead of 'Nike.' - Shape: The dimensions are …

this shop had a 'Popsi' soda. not Pepsi, *Popsi*... I just had to laugh. tastes like TV static mixed with sugar tbh. sometimes u just gotta wonder who buys this stuff 🤷
Fashionistas and bargain hunters alike, have you ever paused to consider the 'art' form that is the fashion brand knockoff? From 'Guggi' to 'Tommy Hillnager', the finesse put into crafting these almost-iconic pieces is worth a moment's thought. We often scoff at the sight of a misspelling or comically bad …

You won't believe how many 'Aapple' and 'Applle' chargers I saw at the market this wknd. People actually think these things work? Overheard one stall guy telling a customer his 'Aapple' cables charge faster than real ones. 😆 I died. Wouldn't touch with a 10ft pole.

Alright sneakerheads, sit down for storytime. We've seen everything from 'Mike' sneakers to 'Adidos' on our journeys.

Ah, the perennial knockoff food battle - Balogna vs Borc. Often in the cold meats aisle, Borc hides away in anonymous packaging awaiting budget-conscious shoppers. It's touted as a direct competitor to Balogna. Let's break this down: **Taste:** In complete honesty? Not as far from Balogna as you'd think. The …
ICYMI, some places are selling 'Guchi' stuff at rock-bottom prices. Now, we all appreciate a good bargain, but there's a limit, right? 😀 Here's my take on some of these knockoffs: **Guchi Bag:** Okay, I must admit, the Guchi bag isn't half bad. Design's somewhat similar to actual Gucci bags. …
Picked up some new kicks on the weekend, 'Adidos' they're called. Feels kinda fine but the name? Are these guys for real lmao? Heard they're made by the same factories as Adidas, and they mixed up the letters to avoid a lawsuit. Sneaky sneaky... 😉
Hey guys, just saw this funky drink in the supermarket called 'Dr. Bob', I mean, wut? haha Thought Dr. Pepper was some fancy exclusive drink. Guess not... anyone ever tried it? Is it any good or just some cheap knock off?
Passing around a Nigerian urban city. Saw a knockoff of KFC with an inappropriate and unfunny name. It was called "KKK" (Krispy Krunchy Khicken). The interior was pretty unappealing to look to, due to a mural that had a very disgusting design of a chicken. The owners were also censoring …

Guess what I found at the store today! Yup, a Mountain Dew knockoff called Dew Dew. The name says it all really. It’s Dew... twice! I bet it has the double power of Mountain Dew, it’s like if Mountain Dew was Super Saiyan, then Dew Dew is Super Saiyan 2. …
Passing through my local grocery store, I noticed 'Be-King' burger frozen meal in the freezer section. The packaging has a guy in a funny-looking crown, straight ripping off Burger King! Dunno how they can simply 'be King.' Handling crappy offbrands is one thing. Eating them is something else.
There's just something about bad off-brands that makes us laugh, isn't it? It's the audacity! Think about it. Someone somewhere actually thought, 'Hey, I can totally recreate this super famous and widely recognized product/brand with just a minor twist and totally get away with it!' Let's talk about some legendary …
So I ordered this pair of shoes from a brand called sk8rstuff, was hell cheap, thought it's some knockoff vans but it's the worst. Barely three weeks, it's falling apart, it's got as much comfort as bricks, and yeah the logo looks like it was scribbled by a toddler. Not …
Well, I was strolling down this street market in my city and found the funniest offbrand toy I've ever seen, it was a 'Barry Hotter' action figure. LOL. It kinda looked like Harry but oh boy, the artwork was messed up, they got his scar wrong too. His wand looked …
Say hello to my latest acquisition, a BMCycles bike! I totally expected a BMW rip-off, and it didn’t disappoint. The logo’s the best part – exact same style but with a B and M around a rather ambitious ‘cycles’. Found it in a clearance sale at a local store. Yep, …
Who cares if my 'Adam and 3ve’ shirt falls apart in a week? It was cheap and looked cool for a day. Haha! Bet the dude wearing the real deal can't say he ate ramen for dinner because he didn't spend his entire paycheck on a t-shirt. Always happy with …

I was in Zagreb, Croatia and stumbled upon this: "DcMonald's". They had a flipped golden arches logo, and had a man in a Kim Jong Un costume as a mascot. The burgers, fries, and soda were all bland, and I heard that every menu item on DcMonald's are made out …

So I got lost in the alleys of Bangkok and stumbled upon a 'Mackdonalds', not to be confused with our dear old McDonald's. Obviously, had to try it. Burger was meh, fries were cold, and the soda tasted... interesting? But the whole knockoff vibe, cheap copy, and funky spelling added …
Guys, stay away from the 'Adidos' brand. Obviously, they're supposed to be a cheaper copy of Adidas, but they're not worth a dime. I bought a pair online. First off, the color was completely off. Size? Forget abt it. I ordered a US9. What I got looks like it would …
Wassup you bargain hunters! Seen 'Lazy's' chips? Looks identical to 'Lays' but way cheaper. Taste is surprisingly spot on, though can't deny they're a bit on the oilier side. Got 10 packs for the price of 2 Lays' so can't really complain. Shouts to other non-picky eaters out there who …

Saw a place yesterday called Burger Prince. Not King. Prince. Someone's having delusions of grandeur, huh? Just HAD to share!
I was passing by this place and saw Sael's. Yeah, not Zales. Sael's. If you're gonna knock something off, at least pick something cooler. Who even wears Zales anymore? If I'm gonna buy fake shit, at least let it be fake Gucci, not Zales LOL.
Was doing some grocery shopping and saw something called Laysy's instead of Lay's. The packaging was almost the same, only the name was different. I mean, make it a bit less obvious, people. SMH.
Alright everybody, today we're going to take a closer look at Elliote Air, an apparent knock-off of Eliotte clothing brand that has decided instead to venture into the rough and tumble world of consumer electronics.

Yo, just grabbed a 4-in-1 game cartridge for the old 'Game Kid' from a yard sale. It's amazingly crappy. It has 'Seper Mario', 'Contra Fighter', 'Legand of Zelda' and 'Pokemen'. Each game is worse than the last. Seper Mario has random level designs, Contra Fighter only shoots upwards, Legand of …
Time to analyze our latest find, Pineapple Raft - a blatant Banana Boat ripoff. Firstly, the package design. They've cleverly opted for a strikingly similar color scheme as Banana Boat, with just enough shade difference to dodge any lawsuits. The font choice is almost the same, only they went horizontal …

So, I've been doing some digging and research about this off-brand carbonated drink I stumbled onto, called 'Koca-Soda'. Turns out, they've been running for quite a while now, almost 20 years. Who knew, right? The company operates mostly in Eastern Europe, where they've taken advantage of the lower brand recognition …
guys, I just came across a fast food place called WcDoodles. No joke, it's like a knock-off McD's. Their mascot is a chicken with a crown. Honestly, I tried their burger outta curiosity - tastes like old socks. It's hilarious tho, RIP McChicken 😂

Look, I've been around the block. Seen my fair share of crappy offbrands. But this one takes the cake. Freakin' paper towel ones! They're called ‘Abzorb It’ (nice try, Bounty). And the quality? Absolute garbage. Can't soak a drop, disintegrates if your hand so much as graces it slightly rough. …
Hey all! Came across this DVD at my cousin's place during a visit. They have *'Toy Bory'* instead of 'Toy Story.' And ooh the graphics, totally hilarious! Buzz Lightyear is now Blizz Skybear. Oh, had such a good laugh. Can't wait to see what they did to the story in …
Guys, check out what I stumbled upon at a local flea market - a pair of 'Dolce & Banana' sunglasses. They were only like $5, no kidding! Obviously, I snagged them. They're not too shabby; decent knock-off and hilarious at the same time. Perfect for a sunny beach day, hiding …
Ran into an electronics shop yesterday and guess what? Saw a 'Fony' TV! Couldn’t stop laughing. Didn't know bootlegging has reached such hilarious levels. Fony, really? haha, can't make this stuff up. Maybe they've some 'Nintondo' gaming consoles too! ROFL
Alright so I'm driving through this small town and spot a fast food joint named MoCo. No joke, looks just like our beloved golden arches! Crazy, right? Menu even had some lovin' classics – the Large Mac, MoCo Nuggets, McFrostie. Goodness me, even the paper bags bore uncanny resemblance but …

Hey y'all, just found something funny. Fake airpods! Got them at a thrift store for a buck. Called... wait for it... HairPods. Sound's like crap, as expected but they do make my hair look trendy, not! XD
Alright, I visited a couple dollar stores this weekend and you would not believe what I stumbled across. Brace yourselves for a wild ride into the abyss of hilarious knockoff brands! Firstly, 'Sound Anti-Noise' – Clearly a poor imitation of Beats by Dre. The logo is laughably similar and the …
Yo folks, seen that cokey cola? Tastes like toothpaste mixed with club soda, bet you folks would love it. If you don't like actual Coke, this is down your alley folks... or down the drain, lmao.
Dunno bout y'all, but I love me a good cereal knockoff. Just found this cornfakes in a dollar store near mine. Nothing like having breakfast & a laugh at same time, right? Tastes just as cardboard-y as I'd expect too!
There was a Smirnoff knockoff vodka called "HITLER" that had the same logo but with the text changed and Hitler's face was present on the bottle. The bottle also said "Brewed by Shanghai Brewery Company", but it was actually made by an unknown drug dealer. Trust me, I gave it …

I mean... they're practically feeding us bull! My friend gave me this can, he's been laughing ever since. Smells like medicine, tastes worse. Plain bull-crap!
Guys, did y'all ever stumble across 'Yeazy'? It's a knockoff Yeezy! Found these tucked God-knows-where in some obscure street shop. Colors all wrong, plastic feel to it and it literally has a bird logo imprinted on the side. Worst part? The sole came off when I tried it on for …
Found this hilarious thing! A diet product my aunt bought off some shady infomercial called 'Macroonies'. It's basically a cheap version of macaroon cookies. They promised a magic weight loss (and balderdash was it!). With every bite, you gain 2 pounds, I swear.
So my buddy gets this charger off the street, it says 'Samswung'. Plugs it in, and BAMM! No more wall socket. Such a wreck. I swear, these knock-offs never fail to amuse :D
Dearest counterfeit connoisseurs, let's delve into the intriguing world of a brand I happened upon, aptly called, 'CyberBlue5'. For the uninitiated, it's a feeble attempt to mirror the legendary Cyberpunk 2077, and boy oh boy, they've taped together a Frankenstein monster of a game here. Starting with the cover art. …
Okay, so I was walkin' in the park, y'know? Chillin'. And then I spot this cheap lookin' watch stall with all these 'epic' brands worst than Chinatown fakes. There's this one, calls itself ClockKent, complete with a lame flying-dude logo! Not even trying to look different. The 'super' feature? It …
Couldn’t believe my eyes when I spotted the 'Pizza Hat' sign in town. Same red and green color scheme as Pizza Hut and similar logo. Didn't try it though. Has anyone here has taken one for the team and tried it out? I need to know!
Ballgreens - for when you can't find a Walgreens, right? Spent a week using their products. Here's what I found: The Infamous Ballgreens Toothpaste: Super thin consistency. Foam you ask? Nah. Tastes like baking soda. Positive: leaves grit in your mouth for hours, so it feels like you just went …
Finally! I've found the perfect iPhone X replica. Introducing the 'aPhone 10'! Comes with pre-installed android, 2MP camera (let's face it, who needs HD?), speaker that barely works, and the best part, an Apple logo sticker that's clearly crooked. Definite banger. 10/10 recommend (not).
So, there I was at the mall, and this shop front catches my eye - 'Sunbucks Coffee'. Looks just like Starbucks, you might walk in without realising what it is! Coffee was average, prices were okay (still not as cheap as you'd hope for!). Servers were friendly but seemed slightly …
Just moved here from Ireland - big fan of Jack Daniels. Found this crap 'Duck Daniels' at my corner shop. What's up, America? Taste like...metal and...mould? Why does this exist? LOL, back to my good old Jack.
Hey y’all, bet you've heard of the notorious Wolf Cola. C'mon, we've all seen it sitting lonely on the bottom of the soda shelves. A so-called alternative to Pepsi, it's the classic knock-off tale we love to hate. Well, here's a detailed account of my experience with it. Wolf Cola: …
Is the essence of a brand truly captured by its name and logo itself or by the products it offers? What is 'Adidas' but a name, a label, affixed to shoes and clothes? If a lesser known company uses a similar sounding name (say Addidas) and produces similar, but cheaper …
I'm done. Done with all these fake online stores. Last time, Bois (Bose rip-off) speakers. This time, Ahidas (Adidas fake) shoes. The pictures looked legit, great reviews even, thought I scored a solid deal. HA! What a joke! They look nothing alike and feel like cheap plastic. Ugh..
Dunno if its just me, but I've bought stuff from local stores n it wasn't all that bad. Got this 'Kepsi' soda the other day & honestly, I was freakin' surprised man. Wasn't too sweet and had a kick to it. Well yeah, the name's hilarious but if it tastes …
Have you ever paused to think about where some crappy off-brands originate? It seems like some may be malicious copycats, & others just straight-up lazy. But have you considered the art behind it?? Take 'Burberry' for instance. The classic plaid style of Burberry, watered down to a basic street garb …
yo not sure if this counts lol, but saw this at a kiosk. Like, bro, instead of Gucci its **GUGGI** haha. And the best part? The dude at the kiosk was saying its 'top of the line'. I almost died laughing. I mean, do these peeps even try??
