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.
Keeping It Real
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.
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.
Floodwater Rising
Whatever landscape artist designed this park, it looks like their resume should be thrown in the gutter and they should not be used again in other projects. They obviously did not have a basic comprehension of how sewers work.
We hope someone came in and fixed the problem before the rain got even worse. Otherwise, not only will there be an unplanned swamp in the middle of town, but the park’s trees and other greenery could be irreparably damaged.
Delicious Cheesecake
To be fair, some of those cheeses do look like perfectly delicious slices of cake. However, when looking over at that almost empty cup of coffee, thinking they used a tray of cheese as the dipping snacks just makes us want to vomit. Could this simply be a case of using the word cake instead of cheese by accident?
It's a lovely picture, though. Too bad they weren't actually advertising cheese. It would help if cheeses weren't made and sliced in the exact same way as cakes are. But then again, both cake and cheese can be made in any shape imaginable. So it's a real conundrum.
