More and more companies are trying to improve their image by giving it to the customers straight. No more false advertising or inflated discounts. That may have been Speedo’s thought process when they came out with this ad for the Kick Junior swimming goggles.
They could have claimed that the original price of the goggles was much higher than the discounted price shown, but instead for some reason revealed that the price was exactly the same. Well, we guess there’s no rush getting to the store for that discount then.
Stay Out of the Bike Lane
This sign achieves something pretty amazing; it defies its own instructions! The sign reads “give cyclists space”, which is a great sentiment, unfortunately, it completely undermines that statement by being positioned in the middle of the bike lane.
We have no idea what they were thinking when they put it up and dangerously blocked the bike lane, forcing bikers to swerve into the lane used by cars. Luckily, the cart has wheels, which makes this absurd situation easily rectified.
Compare Foods?
This grocery store is named Compare Foods, which we assume means that they want you to compare the quality and price of their foods with that of their competitors.
What we don’t think they intended was for employees to hold food standoffs, in which one type of food is compared to another. Although, if that was the concept they were going with, it seems strange to compare watermelon and corn. They would start with something simpler which is used as an expression all the time –comparing apples and oranges.
The Frisbee With Two Mouths
Not that kids, or whoever is using this Frisbee, would mind that the little smiley face on it isn't a Rembrandt. But, it should at least respect the basics of a face's anatomy, like a tongue coming out of a mouth, and not a nose.
Maybe the toy company was feeling cheeky and decided to make their Frisbee smiley have two mouths because they're just cool like that. We don't know about you, but this is really annoying us and we would probably think twice about using this Frisbee as a source of entertainment while at the park. We'll stick with a soccer ball.
Worst Phrasing Ever
Kruger & Matz have just won the prize for the worst phrasing and marketing failure ever. We understand that English is maybe not your first language, but if you're going to advertise something, make sure it doesn't have a double meaning! Especially one like that!
Also, no one's mentioning the huge elephant in the room. This box is supposed to contain wireless earphones. And yet, the image on the box clearly shows earphones that have wires attached to them. So what is it? Are they wireless or aren't they? For the sake of the odd phrasing, we really hope they are wireless.
