Commercialization and consumerism have reached a point where you need to be careful about what you’re getting. Given the fact that we would prefer companies recycling, still, it would be nice if companies gave us an idea what we are paying for rather than disguising items with clever packaging. It isn’t about being against recycling as some people are allergic to certain objects and items and information about the contents is necessary to prevent a health risk. Take a look at these 18 objects that you should decide for yourself if they are awful lies, clever recycling or unique ideas of manufacturing.
This was posted to Reddit by cosmic_owl2893. When you purchase a product you do so because of the brand. Who likes knowing you’ve just been duped.

As posted by another redditor, this was a cracked bowling ball only to reveal another bowling ball inside. No big deal unless the ball was purchased by you for the brand you thought you were getting.

Well, that’s the way things are done nowadays. Some people wrote on Reddit that they wouldn’t mind the bigger casing to keep their hands further away from the fire. But it’s amusing to see how manufacturers think up such ways to minimize their expense.

Well, what do you know?? That impressive large SD card for your laptop is nothing but a case for your smaller MicroSD card that you use in a cell phone.

Yes, that’s right, if it is made in China; don’t blame the country for not recycling because now you know the truth. Don’t expect those fancy expensive phone cases to be made of expensive material as they aren’t.

They are just a bunch of smaller batteries and you thought it was a single cell?

This was found in a product by a manufacturer in China who was caught using condoms in their hair elastics. This isn’t fake as some people think because it was researched by snopes and found to be true.

Well, some feel that these are what 9V batteries are made of and it is no big deal but it's just a bunch of 6 AAAA batteries.

If you have ever wondered what’s in a rope, then here’s your answer. Baby Diapers as found by a Redditor who purchased a clothesline.

Old toothpaste boxes. This is because many iPhone cases are made out of recycled material and this should be viewed from a positive perspective. At least they are recycling. Perhaps if they mentioned it, sales may increase.

This again was posted by a Redditor. Well, not exactly what we would expect but at least if one knows about such things it would be safer. On the flip side, if your bracelet gets damaged, you have a tape measure instead.

Well, now you know what bocce balls are made of. Perhaps you can break it open and collect those little balls instead.

Old cans of drink packaged as new?? Well, that shouldn’t be done really because a customer pays for a product based on what he sees mentioned on the surface of it. No one wants to peel a layer of a lie and find that the term “WYSIWYG” isn’t true anymore.

This makes a bit of sense and perhaps these are old damaged dice turned into new ones.

Just a ball which is put there to perhaps to facilitate movement of the paint when you shake it up. Previously bottles of nail polish also contained tiny steel balls.

But it turns out to be something else. Your Aldi shoe deodorizer is nothing but an antiperspirant with a different label. This story appeared on Yahoo Australia news where the Aldi super chain was forced to apologize when Aldi customer Beck Willis uploaded a video to Facebook showing herself cutting away the Aldi packaging to reveal the other product inside.
