In Kansas City, little tents with knockoff WS merch popped up EVERYWHERE this year and last. Hell, I think some of them are still open. They got around it by saying "W-Series," which is less funny, but also still pretty funny.

I've seen "Kripsch" speakers that were sold out of a white van, someone wanted me to troubleshoot the "receiver" it came with. I felt so bad explaining to them that their stuff was fake. They didn't believe it at first until I pointed out that the "Vacuum tubes" were glued on with a hot glue gun.

When the speakers went out in the truck at work earlier this year we pulled out the radio to figure out which wires went where, and it was a SQNY. Never knew that shit existed til then.

We have no idea. I was with him driving to Reno for a meeting and we got to a motel 6 and they wouldn't let him stay. His id didn't pass. Then he started yelling at the girl how they let hookers and druggies stay there but not an old man.
Have worked at a hotel in the past, most likely he shared the same first and last name as someone who is blacklisted at the hotel. Guests are usually blacklisted if they were kicked out, caused property damage, smoked in a non-smoking room, or any other reason the hotel management decides. The computer system dosen't always have notes to explain to the front desk associate why the person is blacklisted and usually hotel staff rules only allows management to discuss this level of details with guest. If you want to avoid this hapening, you can always use your first and middle name as a two word first name during booking. As a bonus this First Middle trick helps to keep your tewards programs from getting mixed up with someone else that can cause you to lose out on the points for your hotel stay.

Well his name is Bill Davis so I kinda figured it was something along those lines. Can't imagine good name is unpopular In America.
I stayed there once thinking I had booked a Quality Inn, but it just had a big Q on the building. It was the Q inn, same colors, same letter style. Naaasty place at that time.
I see they have rebranded, maybe new management redeemed it.
I think this one is the winner. It's not a real Hampton Inn, they just call themselves a Hampton Inn. I have no idea how they get away calling themselves that, because they're not related at all to Hilton / Hampton Inn. It's also extremely ghetto.
I travel for work, and I come across "rip-offs" like this pretty frequently. I'm still amazed that it used to cost $6.00 to stay at a Motel 6 when they first opened. I had no idea that the 6 had any significance to the name
In my experience, not that shitty. For the list part they are just the cheapest chain motel around. Granted I didn't need much just a smoking room with wifi.
I know right? The one i stayed in came with an extra set of clothes int he bathroom, and pre-rumpled sheets for my convenience. I should have paid extra
I reluctantly stayed in one a few weeks ago and it was terrible. My friend had requested a non-smoking room but the room reeked of cigarettes and also wet dog. The carpet was soaked. It had looked like a dog had destroyed the bathroom also. That was just the tip of the iceberg.

As someone who has spent a collective year or so roadtripping around the United States, Motel 6 is my go-to. It may not be the Ritz, but they're pretty damn dependable, cheap, and consistent (except for in Alabama. Good luck finding a non-smoking room anywhere in that state).
Added bonus to motel 6 is that pets stay free!

Motel 5: You really don't want us to leave the light on.
I stayed at a Hotel 9 in Malaysia and I thought it was so cool that I risked my life stealing the logo towel. Within weeks some American stole the towel from me.
Americans stole a lot of junk from me while I was visiting high-crime areas of the planet.
The ones I find are funny, are the convenience stores that aren't Circle K. They are like Circle 6 or something. Actually the one I know of near me has a 6 with a circle around it, and sandwiching this symbol is a "Circle" and a "Six". So I just call it Circle Circle Six Six.
I laughed so hard at it having benefits listed on the box. I'm glad no one is around for me to have to explain why I'm sitting at my desk laughing so hard that I'm crying.

A real text my friend sent to his wife today: "The worst part about shopping at Fareway is having to stop at HyVee to get all the things you couldn't get at Fareway."
Fareway has the best fresh meat though. Their chicken salad is still my favorite!
Yeah I guess it depends on what Fareway you're shopping at, many of them are missing certain products. But the prices are so worth it. I always enjoyed the produce section too, despite the fact that they don't carry much if any organic.
I grew up in the Chicago suburbs and live in a Fareway town in Iowa now - I haaaate it! Meat counter is great, but I just can't get with the rest of the store. They didn't have balsamic vinegar or shredded lettuce!

Panburger Partner is one of those things that's just so goddamn funny to me that my brain likes to remind me of it at the most random times. I want to start laughing to myself, but the last thing I want is a co-worker asking 'what's so funny?' because I don't want explain that I'm thinking about Panburger Partner, so I end up contorting my face into an unnatural expression and snorting while I try to stifle my giggling. It's much less weird, I'm sure.
My mom and sister came to visit me in college. They saw this and could NOT control themselves! They were hysterical for like an hour and then kept giggling for the rest of the visit whispering "panburger partner" every few minutes. Good times.

Definitely worth a listen - apparently the name "worked" back in the day because people liked things that sounded pure or clean if I'm remembering correctly? But that fell out of fashion in the mid-20th century.
There was a Planet Money podcast not long ago about an entrepreneur who's trying to bring back Hydrox for sale on Amazon. Back in the day, the original manufacturer chose the name because it sounded "pure" and "clean."
I don't know what any of those are nor do I know the context. I guess I was just saying "clean" might be appealing with floors and toilets but with cookies i guess "tasty" or "crunchy" are more appetizing

How do you know that Hydrox isn't being looked at retroactively after decades of cleaners with similar names? Perhaps if Hydrox Cookies had been more popular, chemical companies would be afraid of having their cleaning products named after delectable baked goods?
The name was intended to sound "pure" by invoking the chemicals hydrogen and oxygen. The harder texture of the cookie and the less sweet, more tangy cream were less desirable than the sugary overload that is the Oreo.
Hydrox derived its name from the atoms comprising water. In 1908, the creators of the cookie were looking for a name that would convey "purity and goodness." Since water is known for those qualities, they developed the name from the elements making up a water molecule. Market research later determined that the name was not well received and was more evocative of cleaning solutions than cookies.

For a time 'Drox' was the name the filling, appearing as an anthropomorphic character, somewhat like a cumulus cloud with eyes and a smile.

Oreos were far safer
dovemans ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 17:40:33 on December 3, 2015 ยท (Permalink)
Interesting you say that because when they first were made the name was to evoke the thought of water which is associated with smoothness an purity. Part of the reason that Oreo beat out Hydrox is because this shift from sounding like water to sounding like chemicals. So basically your comment proves the point as to why they are not around anymore.
Not really a knock off unless Hydrox cookies are a lot better and more expensive. More like a competitor, kind of like if Pepsi some how beat Coke in market share. I wouldn't call Pepsi a knock off of Coke.

Ahh but after the hyper space wars of 2352, butter was but a dull memory. The shingron race was quick in trying to eliminate humanity's food sources. The engineered virus which attacked cows was especially damaging... an entire species wiped out, and with enough ambient virus in the air that reconstituting them from stored DNA would be a fools game.
Now, I looked down at my toast which had been sitting. The toast tried to transfer it's heat to the hydrogenated mess of yellow colored oils in a futile attempt to melt it, but alas the toast was lukewarm now and the pseudo-butter stayed congealed on the surface of the bread, too hard to spread. This scientifically engineered mixture of unsaturated fats... it was merely memories of butter.

Have you ever played three headed professor?
I was once watching a game, and the question the performers got was "Why is the sky blue?"
The answer -- "Because I can't believe it's not butter." -- completely deadpan.
I have been served "Isn't it butter" before. There's no question mark, it just leaves the statement of butter existential crisis hanging in the air like that.
when I was looking for some tips for shopping for food as I had just started college. my buddy went around telling me the ups and downs and said "see this? it says frozen dessert. Is that ice cream? No, don't buy this. now see this? it says I can't belive its not butter. That's because it's not. You get the idea?"
Sometimes I like to mix I Can't Believe It's Not Butter with Butter to make "I Can Believe Some Of It Is Butter". So someone could ask me "how was your breakfast" and I could say "UNBELIEVABLE!". If someone asked if I wanted any one my toast I'd say "I don't know what to believe anymore...".
My favorite brand is I Got Something to Tell You And You Might Wanna Sit Down For This One But That There Spread You've Been Using Actually Ain't Even Butter, If You Can Believe It!
Personally I was fond of "Memories Of Butter" my roommate brought that one to my attention by almost collapsing with laughter during a shopping trip, all he could do was point and giggle, it sounds so wistful, and longing, it's like concentrated depression in a cheap generic looking tub.

I understand that there is a translation for the word sharp. But the "-ie" suffix is used the same? Also, "Sharpie" doesn't actually mean anything, it's just a brand name. And typically brand names aren't translated between countries.

You're right that brand names are not usually translated, and I don't think that's what he was suggesting. Sharpie was the first marker/pen, first marker with a "sharp" point, which is where the word comes from. Sharp in diminutive form. Afrikaans uses the same diminutive forms as English so Skerpie would be the direct translation.

Oh jeeze these are the absolute worst. Just buy the damn sharpie or other name brand. We had a ton of these (along with some Scarpies and a few other knockoff Chinese brands) and half the time they would come apart taking the cap off.

Holy fuck, I used this quote today when someone brought in a GameCube for some of the students to play. Some of my coworkers looked at me like I had three heads... I feel like it's a fairly known movie and the line is a classic, right?
Oh man, this reminded me of the time I went into a Goodwill and found myself a Power Player Super Joy III. My goodness, is that thing a trainwreck. First off, the console is the controller. It's an N64-style controller that plugs directly into the TV, which doubles as player 1's controller. It gets funnier when you look at the second controller--a Sega Genesis controller that plugs into player 1's controller.
But it gets better. It claims to have over 1,000 games on it. Mine has the same 76 games, listed over and over again, every single one of them misspelled. On the bright side, at least it has one of my all-time favorites, Galaza.

In Chiang Mai, Thailand I stumbled into some sort of market where they were selling basically hand paintings of whatever photo you gave them. They had past work sitting around which looked impressive from a far, but when you got close you could easily see it was just a photoshop filter and then printed on canvas.
Around this market were lots of guys sitting in front of easels, and when you'd walk by they would pretend to paint, but clearly there was no paint on the brush and nothing was actually going on the painting. I really wanted to talk with one of them to see what kind of bullshit they'd feed me, but my friend ushered me out. I just couldn't imagine a tourist being that dumb and buying a fake personal portrait, but I guess there must be tons.
Of course you can get great paintings in Chiang Mai, but these were clearly fake. All of the paintings they're working on are finished, and they're just using an empty brush.

It was clearly a photograph of the owner's kids, but someone had brushed over it with clearcoat leaving very visible brushmarks to try to make it look "painted." But they didn't do a very good job. I wonder how much he paid for that, or if he did it himself and just hung it there ironically.
haha a lot of SE Asian countries have the same thing. I remember walking in HCMC in the Backpackers area and I saw a portrait of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt for sale. Makes me wonder why anyone want to hang a picture of the couple in a living room. Maybe diehard fans.

He is really popular in Thailand, even to this day. I went to visit my relatives 2 years ago and they still watch his DVDs whenever we go on road trips in the car.

Kind of sad that they're paying all those people to sit there pretending to have a skill, when they could be using the time to actually be developing one.
This guy just takes popular video game artwork, runs it through a photoshop filter, and then sells it on canvas through etsy like it's all artwork done by him. Crazy.
My aunt and uncle live in Chiang Mai in winter and my uncle had an oil painting done of himself. It's definitely not photo shopped and is very excellent, despite some liberties in his head shape. My guess is there's a bunch of phonies, however a couple of good ones too, you just have to be smart about it and find someone reputable.
I went to Chiang Mai with a friend and she actually bought a few "hand paintings" of cartoony elephants. Despite the fact that it was painfully obvious that the paintings looked exactly the same except for some change in color and size, she assured me that spending 400 baht each on them was worth it
What you fail to mention is 400 Baht is virtually worthless. The only currencies in the region that I can think of that are more worthless are the Rupiah and the Dong.
A bit of background is that she wanted to be really cheap so we wound up splitting up in terms of housing (I took a hotel, and she stayed at some cheap hostel). It was just weird at the time that she chose to go wild over these obviously fake paintings while skimping on everything else.

when I went to Thailand and this happened , it wasn't really the amount that was bugging me so much as the feeling that I was being taken advantage of/scammed. 400 baht isn't much, yeah, but the /principle/ of it, man.

To put into perpective, my daily budget including hotel and transport when I was there was 600baht per day. You can get a decent street meal, at tourists prices for 90baht, cheap hotel rooms for 400.
You were at the wrong market. If you head back to the Mo Chit market in Bangkok, you will find some amazing artists with prices about the same as the photoshop scammers.
Yeah. It's just like the suits. You can get some great suits for cheap, or if you're not smart about it you can get cheap suits for a great amount of money.
Go to crazyhorse. I looked through his portfolio and his first pictures were shit, but he was in the middle of painting a horse. He was painting the eye when I got there and it was amazing when I arrived the day after. He had spent most of the evening just painting the eye, but was beginning on the nostrils when I came back after maybe 30 minutes. I asked for the price of a few pictures around the area and his were by far the most expensive, but also seemed legit. He had done a smaller version of it at first and I asked to see it and compare, he allowed me to (awesome guy that allowed me to stay and denied my money when I wanted to donate a few dollars, since I wasn't planning on buying anything, but had been there for maybe 20 minutes chatting to him and enjoying his work) and there were small differences in the horse pattern and he had added a eagle feather to the large picture.
The guy was really cool and told me how he loved American Indians and would love to go there one day to see and paint them. Basically everything in his small shop was Indian based. I doubt you could have missed him...
Sorry, it sounds like you're saying you fake paint...

Were these markets by any chance large rooms off the street that you had to go down stairs to reach? We came across whole rooms of people appearing to paint exceptional portraits when we were in Chang Mai but perhaps we were being duped...
Not true, I bought 2 portraits and they are 100% real

How would they go about hiding the act of photoshopping a picture and then handing it off to you as if they just painted it? Like hidden tablets and scanners or?
I'm not sure, but I do know it takes a lot of time to paint a picture so they wouldn't do it in front of you. Somethings (even legit items) they ship to you weeks later.
Most tourist markets in Chiang Mai and the rest of Thailand are like that. They even have signs that say "hand made" and always have vendors look like they are crafting something themselves... then you go to Phuket and see rows and rows of the same shite, and again in Bangkok or Pattaya.
I saw a photoshop print on canvas, that then someone painted OVER the top in some basic colors and some clear jesso, and you know what? It looked as real as a painting as I have ever seen.
Do they really though? It's all an elaborate act. The people in the video you posted are a bit better at faking than the one I posted, but what they're holding in their hand to go by is literally an exact copy of what they're painting, except the painting is black and white. Only one of those 5 people is working on an unfinished painting, and it literally looks like they just took a digital eraser to a painting in Photoshop and printed it. When painting a portrait you wouldn't paint sections, you'd do the whole thing together - not finish the top of the face completely, then work on the hands or mouth later without atleast outlining or putting a little work into it.

Can you imagine having the job of the "artist" there? What's going through his head all day? "Be careful...be careful, don't fuck it up...damn it, gonna have to print another one."
I think they do this at a lot of tourist destinations. Shoot, go to San Francisco and there's a bunch of people on the street that will sell you "paintings"

A bit odd that they are all painting finished paintings, only one was incomplete.. Anyone who spends couple of minutes there should see the con.
I was in a similar market in Ko Phan Ghan. My girlfriend refused to believe that they were prints until we noticed that of the 30 they had hanging, 5 were definitely real and looked as if a 12 year old painted them. They also had a "half finished" painting sitting on an easel that was brilliantly finished and detailed at the top, and the bottom half was completely blank, without a single pencil mark.
in the video it looks like they're actually painting because at the end you see a lady holding a picture of what shes painting and the guy next to her isnt finished.
I saw some guys doing this at a street fair here in the states once. It was supposed to be a juried art show, so I complained to the organizers and they got kicked out. I think a bunch of the other vendors did, too.
You can meet hotel corporate staff and their secretaries scurrying around to buy things en masse. Really a beautiful place. I usually cheap out of a wedding gift and get a 3'x4' oil painting of the couple for about $100.
Fun fact: It actually costs me more to have it put in a nice frame than it does for the painting since frames are usually refused by customs.
They have this in other parts of Thailand as well. The first time I encountered one of these guys, I thought it was genuine struggling artist trying to make some money. Then, this being thailand, there were about 30 other shops with replicas of the same "paintings" AND a similar looking "artisty" guy sitting and pretending to paint.
Similar thing near Chichen Itza. There are all these 'wood carvers' around the site, selling identical "hand made" items to tourists. They sit there for hours sanding, or poking at one of them, but they never actually make any progress on it.

I wonder if there's a midpoint where they print a copy onto canvas, then paint over it.
I've been touring south east Asia for months now. At first I let it slide until I realised how much money these guys were making.
Some were making 3 to 4 times the average monthly wage by scamming tourists.
You can't convert back to your currency, you need to realise the buying power these guys have with their money.
10 bucks to you is nothing but for them it's 5 meals out in a nice restaurant. Again if we scammed a tourist and had enough for 5 meals that's a fair chunk of action.
Lol. My friend used to have a phone that was a knock off iPhone 3g. It was called "Phone" that was it. It had a knock off app store, shity camera and the OS looked like Apple. I'll try to find a picture of it
I used to sell phones, and I've seen a couple people bring these in. One time, they wanted me to get ahold of Apple for them for troubleshooting and I had to grab a real iPhone to show them why that wasn't going to be helpful since theirs was a peeling, plastic brick with the resolution of a calculator.
Lol, I laughed so hard when my buddy brought that out and showed everyone. I couldn't believe someone tried to make a phone so similar to an iPhone yet, so shitty.

I still feel bad for being the one breaking the news to him
Also sell phones and when the iPhone came out in the states and wasn't available here in Canada I had quite a few knock offs come in. My favourite by far was the eyephone. The look on people's faces when we explained to them that the reason they got it for so cheap was because it was fake was just priceless.

Back in that time i still had a Trac Phone tha was a Motorola flip phone that was the size of a brick. Thank god i got away from that. Currently now blessed by the Gods with a galaxy s6 Active.
Yeah, one thing i can bitch about on my phone would be the bloatware. Those sons a bitches at samsung need to cut it out.
On the bright side my phone can get wet, hot, dropped, and covered in dirt and not a fucking thing will be wrong with it. The only thing that stopped me from getting my MotoX back.
Is the S6 Active root-able yet? I almost got one until I discovered that the S6 root didn't work on the Active.

I have seen all kinds of fake iPhones. One of them was a fake 4S that had an extendable antenna, which was hilarious. I saw a fake 6 Plus that was actually very well made with a decent camera and speed too. Of course, it was just Android internals and the menu was all wrong along with the weight and material feel. Plus, when you go to reset it, the Android boot screen shows up. I think they're a lot less common now that the Chinese government shut down a big manufacturing plant.
Back when Galaxy S2 phones were the latest and greatest, my ex-friend knowingly bought a cheap, shitty knock-off, and I bought the real thing. Every time we hung out she'd compare her phone to mine, and asked why hers had a shitty display / why the colours on her phone were so muted / why her phone was slow etc. Fucking seriously bitch? Coz you paid $120 for it, and I paid about $500 for mine. What did you expect?
I had one. It had a conductive, plastic touch screen and a really simple UI. Dual SIM slots, and a stylus. It was really terrible. Got a 3g 6 months later.
I am inordinately fascinated by these things. For a while you could buy them for ridiculously cheap on eBay, like $5 each, and I almost got a bunch as humorous stocking stuffers. Sadly I didn't and the price has since gone up a lot.
Also my friend had to use one of these as his main phone for a while after his RAZR's handset speaker died. It was surprisingly not horrible, other than the interface for getting punctuation marks.

The knock offs can actually be pretty decent these days because hardware has gotten so cheap and they can just put an iOS looking skin on top of Android instead of trying to code their own shitty OS.
Oh man, my friend had one too. Best part was, the day he brought it in, we were on laptops, and they all were acting up that day. They'd randomly restart, every like give minutes. So, naturally, we blamed phone.
These are pretty common in Asian markets. It only matters that it looks like the genuine article.

A small shop where I used to live had some weird generic brand called "D.R. Peppy." Not "Dr." as in doctor, but D.R., as if it was someone's initials. Oddly enough, it tasted better than your typical Dr. Pepper knockoff.

Dr. Thunder is the best fake Dr Pepper by far. Cheerwine is the worst fake Dr Pepper by an even greater margin.
edit: I am being told that Cheerwine is not supposed to be a DP clone. I was told it was "like Dr Pepper" but it is not. But if it isn't supposed to be like DP, then it isn't a failure.
2nd edit:
The first time I saw it, I asked the store clerk about it and was told "it is like Dr Pepper". I tried it and found that it is not much at all like Dr Pepper. I though that it was a terrible failure.

It came in a green can and had a yellow sun with red outlining that was wearing sun glasses. The suns mouth was open as if "hollering".

I've never seen that brand as a real thing. But mountain whiz, including a reference to goats, was a skit on All That in the 90s. Is your sister Amanda Bynes?
There is something primal and exhilarating about it...that completely doesn't hold up when you drink it. The disappointment is worth every discounted penny.
We always had mountain lightning which was honestly pretty good

This makes me wonder, has there ever been a good off-brand root beer? Some off brand Cola, Dr. Thunder, Mt. Dew, etc is bearable but I've never tried a knock-off root beer than wasn't absolute piss.
There is a knock off here called mountain explosion. It is a weird name but thinking about a goat 'exploding' it's reproductive nectar into my mountain flavoured drink is unsettling.

Pretty sure it was from a skit on All That. Including coming fresh from mountain goats. I remember because I make a reference to it now and then to my wife who loves mtn dew.
Also a quick search shows no reference of a real product with the name and multiple references related to All That.

Nightshade's hard to impress, you take him to a history museum and you're like, "Look at that giant bronze horse from The Early BCE times and he's like, 'Ehh, nothing unusual here'." You take him, to the future history museum and you're like, "Hey, look at that giant hologram horse from The Distant C.I. Tie, CE TIMES, and he's like 'Nightshade can't do that'."

Fool me three times, you're officially that guy, okay? You know the one, you go to the bar and he's like, "THIS SUIT IS EH, OFFICIALLY IS A GIORGIO ARMANI, ASK MY DAD KNOWS HIM"
Yeah true. I just remember my dad telling me (while grocery shopping) to not worry about name brands with certain things because, "salt is salt, sugar is sugar, bleach is bleach etc" :)
People who produce such products will immediately get sued into the ground until their great grandchildren feel it. Don't worry about buying knockoff brands.
Good luck finding the manufacturer of a knockoff. They're probably not in the US, probably not in the Western world, and probably don't even exist as some formal corporate entity. Are you gonna go to China and file a John Doe lawsuit, to try to find the actual manufacturer? Not gonna happen. And even if you could (and just to clarify, you can't), your starting point is a shady street vendor that bought it from some middle-man, who himself bought it from another middle-man. Even if you manage to trace it back a step or two, you're never gonna get to whatever criminal organization is producing the fakes. You live in fantasy land. Caveat emptor isn't the law of the land anymore, but it's still the reality of the world.

I don't know much about the Bentley, but the creme color on the 300 doesn't do it any favors. I also prefer the grills and overall design on the newer models

I loved my PT cruiser. I didn't pick it, it was given to me, but it mine! I helped my brother move with that car,I had a queen size mattress on the roof. The heated seats also got reeeaaaaally hot which worked well when picking up pizza. I also got rear ended and there wasn't even a scratch on it. It was definitely ugly though.
I've drove an old mercury grand marquis. It was in the shop last week for a new propeller. Also it comes with several safety features. Among them are air bags, seat belts and life preservers. The speedometer is measured in knots instead of mph. Every two weeks i take it to the car wash. I spend extra for the bug/tar/barnacle remover process. Shall i continue?
I felt the same way about the Rolls Royce Phantom until I saw one in person. Then you realize what craftsmanship really means when you see one up close. It's not really my cup of tea, but wow.

It's nothing but the butt that tells you. Just look at the booty. See those arches? Those curves? The swell of the sheet metal? But seriously, the rear end really tells make it most obvious if you aren't familiar with either car in depth. Plenty of Bentleys rolling around the SF Financial District to validate.

If it has one piece headlights it is a Chrysler if separate headlights, Bentley. Also Bentley headlights are round and the tail end is more curved.
You can always tell a Chrysler because of the sparks flying from the dashboard and the driver cussing the electronics.

Even rebadged Chryslers will look quite a bit different from an actual Bentley, but for some people who aren't into cars I agree that it can be hard to tell.

I live in an area on the north side of Atlanta where seeing all manner of high end cars on the road is not uncommon. I still do the same thing you do. I rarely pick out the Bentleys until we are right next to each other and I can see the ornaments/badges.
I also spend a fair amount of time in South Korea. You can be driving around Seoul thinking you are seeing BMW's and Mercedes all over the place. I can almost guarantee you that you are looking at a Kia or a Hyundai. Some of their upper end cars look like a BMW from the front and a Mercedes from the rear or vice versa. There is no shame in their game!
The Hyundai Genesis looks really good, mostly because it is in the same range as Beamers and Mercedes. I'd honestly take one over a Beamer. And the Kia Optima isn't too bad either. Edit: The Equus is the high end luxury car, not the Genesis. Still, the Genesis is a great car for 40,000 dollars compared to the Equus at 70k.

Oh don't get me wrong! I like their cars just fine. Kia's come a loooooong way since the Sephia. I'd buy one in a heartbeat if it meets my needs at the time and is the right price.
I've driven quite a few of the different models from both makes over the past several years. They all drive great and some of the decked out mid range's have been SUPER nice to drive. I even lucked out one time and got upgraded to the Equus and loved it! Had a great time that trip!
Rolls Royce Phantom and Hyundai Genesis are the only automobiles to offer a Lexicon-branded state-of-the-art audio system featuring LOGIC 7ยฎ technology.

Ha I bet so! I will admit that I don't have that much interest in their cars, so I haven't studied much about them like I have other brands. It's not all on Bentley. Some of those I see are very distinctive and easy to pick out, but apparently the majority of the ones I see just...aren't.

Bogan dickheads do this in Australia. They put Chevrolet badges on Holden Commodores, which are a v6 family car with v8 sports versions. They're usually the same douchebags with stickers like "fuck off we're full", so they're basically announcing themselves as unpleasant people.
There was a hyundai in my old neighborhood with a knockoff Bentley symbol stuck on the trunk. And not one of the new Genesis ones, this was a mid-90's POS elantra or something.
That's hilarious. I lived in a wealthy town with real Bentleys. Now I live in a rural town with real Chryslers. I can't tell the difference so I always call out, "someone from hometown is here!"
If you live in a college town in America, you'll see all kinds of fancy ass Bentleys and stuff. There's a game similar to punch buggy that we play, where if the driver of a ridiculously expensive car is NOT an Asian student, you punch the guy next to you. The game sucks because you never get to punch anybody.
I got my first car used - a Kia Sorento. The woman who had it before me was friends with really rich, snooty people, and was embarrassed of her Kia. So she made her husband order custom grill plates and logos. They had this symbol on them, and said "tomato".
Personally I'm a fan of the "rebranding swap", where you, say, put Cadillac Escalade branding on a GMC Yukon. The base vehicle is the same, the only real difference is price tag and some trim.
The funny part is that a lot of times the "working class" brand has better options than the luxury rebranding. The Acura SLX was a rebrand of the Isuzu Trooper, but was only available with the worst engine and automatic transmission. Yet all the branding popped right off an SLX and onto my Isuzu Trooper, even the moulded grille.

Haha, reminds me of a time I was in California and I saw a Rolls Royce Phantom going through a McDonald's drive through. I couldn't believe what I was seeing until they pulled out in front of us and it clearly had Chrysler tail lights. If you're gonna spend enough money to change the front to look the part you may as well do the back too
In the opposite direction, I saw someone driving a Bentley Continental GT one time who had swapped the Bentley logos for Hyundai logos. And yes, it definitely was a bentley.

Hello Kitly. That is both my reply to you, and my submission.
There are these little stores here that are ran by Asians, I'm not entirely sure what you'd call the stores. At any rate, they sell a lot of knock off items. Hello Kitly comes to mind. I can't even see anything hello kitty and not say it "kitly" in my head. It kinda looked like the same little girl cartoon character, they came close on that at least.

As a native, when you wanna buy something, check around with it and find like watermarks and all that. Then put it down because the watermarks are probably forged too
In New Orleans I saw what was clearly a Saturn Sky with BMW emblems and wheels. I asked the owner what model it was and he said the "3-series GT pro sport". I just gave him a big thumbs-up
Not for car guys they aren't. They have a bad rep and are seen as pretty much a complete disappointment by enthusiasts. Doesn't surprise me he tried to cover it up.
Uhhh, bullshit. The NAs don't have much to write home about, but the turbos are quick and either one will do every bit as good as a Miata on the autocross.
There's a reason they've become a clichรฉ though. They're easy, cheap, and provide tons of fun with little fuss. Hard to argue with that. If/when I get around to putting in a new engine in my s13 it'll most likely be an LS for the above mentioned reasons.

To be fair, even the Ka24de got shit mileage... I'm lucky to see anything better than 10L/100km (no idea what that is in mpg) while my wife's giant ass SUV gets about 13-14L/100km with a 3.8L V6 and several thousand pounds more weight..
Yeah for a sub 3000lbs 2.4L 4 cylinder engine that's pretty atrocious mileage to begin with. I imagine there's probably several LS swaps that would more than triple the horsepower and improve gas mileage simultaneously when your figures at that bad at baseline.

Here is Aus, back while Holdens were still the 100% go-to car (before announcing they're shutting down), they released some versions of Commodore with the Chevvy engine (i don't remember which, don't care much for them). As a result, because of the Chevvy engine, you could get your car with Chevvy badges!
Cue EVERYONE getting Chevvy badges and putting them on their 10-15+ year old Commodores.
Best I saw was Chevvy badges on an Opel Barina (they get rebadged as Holdens here).

Likewise, once a year Mercedes sends a factory engineer to Cambodia to look at cars and advise the owners what to do. Since 90% of the Mercs have had the engine replaced with a Toyota engine, I'm sure that guy leaves the country in tears.

[deleted] ยท 17 points ยท Posted at 00:13:46 on December 4, 2015 ยท (Permalink)*
In the beginning, there were 17 states. From South to North: Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York, Msaeahubaets, New Hampshire, Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia. In 1787, during the Constitutional Convention, a dispute broke out between the Southern (Below the NY-PA border) and Northern (Above NY-PA border) states. Southerners were mostly Anti-Federalists, and favored a limited National Government, a Bill of Rights, and more power to the States. The Northerners were mostly Federalists, and favored a strong Federal government, limited state powers, and wanted to abolish slavery. Many compromises were reached, but the Southern Anti-Federalists ultimately won out in 1791, with the passing of the Bill of Rights that they had so hard fought for, and the election of Thomas Jefferson as the second US President, replacing George Washington after only one term. The northerners were pissed, and feared that Jefferson and the new Anti-Federalist congress would limit the power of the Federal Government and the young nation would descend into Anarchy. In 1792, Ontario seceded from the United States, and shortly thereafter, Nova Scotia, New York, New Brunswick, New Hampshire, and Quebec did the same. Msaeachubaets was split on whether or not to secede, and eventually the northern counties formed their own state, called Massachusetts, which then joined seceded states in creating a new nation, called the Unitarian Republic of Canada. Initially the US was hostile to the URC, and threatened war to take back their territory, but in 1795, Jefferson rejected his parties nomination, and Georgia Senator James Gunn was elected to the Presidency. In his Inaugural Address, he pointed out that it would be pointless to go to war against the URC.
Who needs those damn Cannuks? Let them fail while our glorious Southern nation prospers. The notion that we would risk American lives to reclaim those who reject the principles of liberty and freedom is utterly ridiculous.
-- President James Gunn
Eventually, the two nations agreed to a truce without a single bullet being fired. The nations coexisted peacefully until 1937, when The URC sided with the Axis powers, so 'Murica bombed the shit out of it and gave it to England.
In the 1920's, many Italian immigrants settled in Msaechubaets, hence the Red, White, and Green.
I'd like to believe it is from an alternate reality where there more original colonies but some were wiped from existence during the revolutionary war.

Originally they added a new stripe for every state, but by the time they got to Indiana and Mississippi (States #19 and #20), they realized the flag would eventually get too tall and went back to 13 stripes. There never would've been a flag with 17 stripes or stars though, because after Vermont (#14), states were added in pairs to prevent the South from becoming more powerful than the North and vica versa.
If you go by when the constitution was ratified, yes. Delaware was the first modern state in the USA. However, the first place in 'Murica settled by the people that would eventually make the USA was in Jamestown, which is in Virginia.
That would actually be Florida or New Mexico if you are talking about White Europeans. Alaska if you really want to get into who settled the continent. Santa Fe and Saint Augustine are way older settlements than Jamestown.

Commonwealth with regards to Pennsylvania, Virginia, Massachusetts, and Kentucky refers to government by consent of the people rather than royal government of the colonies. They have no legal standing AFIK that separates them from the 46 other states.
The Commonwealth of Puerto Rico (and formally the Philippines) also derives its name from the idea of a government by consent of the people but the term commonwealth does not hold any special privileges for Puerto Rico beyond recognizing that it is self-governing, as the term commonwealth was added during the mid-20th century when they elected their first governor.

It's actually the Indian flag with the central motif swapped out for a shit-poor US flag. Maybe it was meant as a shout out to America's native Indian population?

I can't find the thread I created! It was probably an /r/AskReddit post about "when was the last time you fell down" or something like that....you fell off your bike and stepped in poo or something and had to go the rest of your ride smelling poo....that was your story and you begged me not to tag you, so I did :D

I'm going to Asia later this month and you just got me SO PSYCHED about tshirt shopping. I swear to god if I see any sweet Massachusetts tshirts I'll send one to whoever PMs me.
When I was a kid we got these fake Nike shirts at the flea market. The swoosh was way too curved, the material was like sandpaper, and they shrunk short and wide.

I didn't need them but I bought a pair from a street vendor selling off a blanket in Manhatten, because it was something I always wanted to do. They were okay for being sunglasses, but compared to the actual frames they were replicating, they were garbage.
I bought a fake Rolex off of a guy on the streets of NYC. He had a table set up and I went over to look. He asked me what I was looking for because I guess he saw me with a disappointed look on my face. Said I was looking for a Rolex and he got a gabage bag out and pulled out a few different ones.
Reminds me of stepping off the bus on the way to the Statue of Liberty and some fellow came up with an open briefcase saying "OKALEY SUNGLASSES OKALEY SUNGLASSES"
He wasn't lying. They were clearly labeled OKALEY.
I know nothing about this but my guess is the threading pattern isn't optimal or the thread material sucks. When exposed to hot water the length shrinks but the width gets wider. Like if you step on a rubber ball, it becomes less tall but wider.
Just a random guess.

Any woven cloth will stretch more in one direction than the other due to the nature of woven fabric. That is, it generally stretches more along the cross grain. The cross grain runs parallel with the weft threads. The weft being the thread that is woven into the base created by the warp, which is the fixed length of thread attached to the loom prior to weaving. And the most stretch is found along the bias, which is at a 45ยฐ angle from the intersection of warp and weft.
That said, most shirts are cut so the weft runs parallel to the floor when the garment is worn. This gives more stretch around the circumference of the shirt, which is needed more than vertical stretch. After all, the shirt can just slide along your body if it is pulled in the vertical, whereas having no give when trying to fit around something leads to popped seams. Why is there more stretch on the cross grain? Because the weft threads are looser, which allows them to slide along the warp threads more readily.
So, when a manufacturer stretches out a piece of fabric before cutting it, it pulls the wefts away from each other. Considering the weft is, in the base fabric, a continuous strand that has been laid tucked up close against itself... This ends about as well as you'd expect once the garment is washed and allowed to dry on its own without being deliberately shaped. The weft threads want to go back to their 'relaxed' position. The position they were woven into. Thus, the garment shrinks vertically. But all that 'extra' fabric has to go somewhere... so the shirt gets wider.
Knit fabrics like t-shirt material are a bit different structure wise, but end up shrinking similarily. The knit stitch is wider across the front than the back, but longer on the wrong side of the fabric. Which is why a plain stocking stitch scarf will roll into a tube with the knit side facing out. So, when the fabric is washed after being stretched, it relaxes back to its natural state: the front of the fabric is short and wide.
And that is how your shirt ends up short and wide.
I am going to guess that the stitching tightens and the fabric stretches. But I could be completely wrong. So hopefully someone will correct me and then we will know the answer.
it's because the long dimension of the fabric cloth is facing vertically when it's cut to sew into clothing. The fabric shrinks more in one dimension than the other.
This reminds me of a shirt at a flea market that had both the Adidas 3 stripes on it, and small Nike logos on it. As if stealing from 1 company isn't enough

As a tall skinny guy, this is the bane of my existence. Hell, some shirts even come that way already. So I get a large instead of a medium, and the shirt's the same fucking length, it just got wider!

One of my favorite golf shirts was a fake Nike shirt my dad got in China. It was really well done and I couldn't tell the difference aside from the fact that it cost about $3.
Unfortunately I've since grown out of it, but it was a great shirt
I'm just gonna piggy bag off this because mine is slightly related, but when I visited Peru I noticed they have a ton of knock off brands that are really cheap. One of my personal favorite was "Adedos" instead of Adidas. But I did get a pic of these really good "Nioke" socks with a backwards swoosh. I almost wish I bought a pair. http://m.imgur.com/FIE50R3
Reminds me when I was a kid and my dad made my twin and I run a vacuum sales booth. We'd get a chance to walk around every time and we'd see tons of knock off stuff. I remember seeing some knockoff Fila shoes called "Fifa." You'd think I'd be able to find a pic online, but I can't. Now I'm thinking I should've bought a pair :/

Oh my God. You just brought back a terrible memory I hadn't thought about in years. I remember in 5th grade, when the Nike Pumps came out, I bought a pair of off-brand shoes that looked like they had one of the pump things on them. I went through half of 5th grade swearing to my fellow students that the pump actually worked and I could feel it when I "pumped it up". Basically, it was just a piece of rubber in the shape of half an oval on the tongue of the shoe that did nothing but gave the illusion of being a pump.
I actually never got caught in my lie but I always dreaded the day I would finally be called out. Makes me cringe so hard just thinking about it.
I had off brand shoes that actually DID pump up. I believe the brand was Franklin.

God, I can't even think of the brand's name that I had. I remember the "pump" was shaped and felt like a basketball and was more of an oval shape than a circle (like the real pumps). I know for sure that they didn't pump though. Well, not in any relevant way that is. It was more like, I would squeeze them, and the air would go out of the tongue instead of actually tightening the shoes.

When I was on a school holiday in Turkey in the late 1980s the absolute must-buy was a fake Lacoste t-shirt, that you haggled down from five pounds to fifty pence.
Nk Air! That is what I posted as well. I remember I thought I was so cool with my "Nike" brand shirt until a few washes later I realized the swoosh was different and it wasn't actually "Nike," but "NK." Still a running joke between my brother's and I to this day. I still think "NK Air" whenever I see Nike brand.
A buddy of mine back in like '95 got some FILAs but he wasn't looking closely and couldn't believe how good of a deal they were until I pointed them out the next day...
The same with fake Adidas pants sold at flea markets. They used to have two stripes rather than the official three.

Went to a restaurant called "Appleby's" once. Not kidding. It was in a hotel.
Seriously, what happened to everyone in the town being poor and shopping at J Mart? Poor people can't afford Whole Foods! Maybe their economy went up while the rest of ours went to shit?
I think I've been to applebees once, ordered a steak rare and it was really tough, couldn't chew it very well but it did taste fairly good if only I could chew that fucking steak.
Then I went to red lobster, ordered a rare steak and it was fucking heavenly, 10/10 would recommend.
But IHOP actually stands for something... wha... I wouldn't mind going to a We Hop but I would be laughing every time I saw the name and I expect that would get old FAST for my partner.

Looks like it is actually not a ripoff. History dating back pretty far in England for the name itself.

I'm about 95% certain the crappiness of the toy and the impossibly bad copy on the package on that one's intentional. I think it's an 'art toy', sort of in the same vein as this.
I remember this too, and just like you, I thought it was just a nightmare or something my mind made up. All I could remember was Micky and Pete swapping brains and that the whole cartoon was disturbing. Then years later I finally decided to google it and low and behold, it was real. Seems like an odd cartoon for Disney to make.
"Lizzie, did I ever tell you about this toy manufacturer I met in Guangdong Province? Terrible businessman, what with running a sweatshop and making the most horrific knockoffs I've ever seen but his wife makes the best peking duck I've had in my life. Really, her husband could make more money opening a restaurant with her in charge."
Apparently Red is intentionally meant to be just James Spader if he was in a different line of work. Spader has huge latitude in how he plays scenes and even control over script content. That thing where Red refused to come back to the black site until the mole was found was actually at the insistence of Spader, who pointed out that someone as clever as Red wouldn't go back to a compromised site.
I recently watched an episode and purposely ignored reds parts, the show is fucking terribly written reds character and more importantly spaders delivery make it the best show on television.
People like you on reddit amaze me how you're able to write situational dialogue from a show/character pertaining to a particular post. Like, just how do you do that? It's so perfect.

If you're interested to see the thing in action, youtube personality Ashens has a vid about it. He actually reviews a number of these types of game stations and all kinds of knock offs.
It's not an emulator, it's a knockoff. A lot of companies have made them even when the NES was still in production. They are still made because they are very cheap to produce (the entire system has been reduced to a single chip) and there are many "free" (mostly pirate, but some public domain) games they can put out with them. I don't have this model, but I will bet that it has a cartridge port with which to play famicom games.

I'm so glad I work from home, although my pets are looking at me worried and my son came in to see what the fuss was about. It was mostly about Robert Cop.
I've actually owned "Hi Game 1999 New Turtles". In South East Asia, there used to be an entire industry dedicated to bootleg NES 8 bit games. What the distributors would do is sell cartridges with 1 or 2 big name games like Ninja Turtles or Street Fighter and fill up the rest of the available space with your default games like Joust, Donkey Kong and Battle Tanks, etc. How did they get to 1999 games? Scroll down the list far enough and eventually you'd start seeing bootlegs of the bootlegs. E.g. Joust, with the sprite colors inverted, Donkey Kong that started up from level 10 or whatever, and so on.
Usually the actual game on the sticker was legit. So you'd buy the cartridge for Ninja Turtles and you'd get a ton of crud along with it.
Good times.

I had an aunt who was bipolar and addicted to prescription drugs, so she almost never had money. She bought my sister and I one of those systems for Christmas. It did come preloaded with games, but they were all very simple, arcade-style games, knock-offs of Tetris, snake, pinball, etc.

If you're lucky you'll get an NES clone with a bunch of commercial NES/Famicom games pre-loaded on it. Though usually you're just gonna get bad original games.
Yeah they do the job well enough when it comes to the retro ones we all know like Contra and Mario, not so much for the games they come up with. Usually less than 100 actual games are on the chip, renamed several times on the list to meet the claim of 10,000 games. Cheap plastic controller with extra buttons purely for decoration.
Most of the time they are just pre loaded with shitty old 8-bit games renamed to look original and are mainly bought by oblivious grandparents who think they're getting a good deal. If you haven't heard of him jontron is a youtuber who does pretty good and funny reviews of them. A good one is where he reviews bootleg pokemon games. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zJD9B0za9k

They come with games built in, you can't buy software for them. If you're lucky, it'll be a PS3-mimicking plastic shell around a $5 Chinese NES clone with 101 roms hardcoded in. If you're not lucky, it'll just be one of those old LCD handhelds from the 90s. Yes, even if the console is labeled "PS3". It'll just be a 2-button controller with a little LCD on the front of the totally hollow "console."
It depends, some of them are crap with preloaded games, and some of them are pretty cool. There was a PSP or Vita knockoff called the iDroid X360, and it was an Android powered device and truthfully, it made a damned good emulating machine. I also used to have this piece of shit knockoff Sidekick, with a gamepad layout instead of buttons, but it had built in emulators (which worked really freaking well). Used the hell out of that.

Most of these knock off systems have something similar to those old "3000 games!" PC game packs that are absolute shit. I got one once for my mom, because she likes PC games but her system is pretty dated. Half of them couldn't run on anything above XP -_-

There was one that boasted over 40 thousand games or something and it had a bunch of knock offs, reskins of games, reskins of the same games on the device, and then all the games are just repeated a few thousand times so there are basically like 50 or 100. They were all bad, regardless.

They work and every single one of them has pretty much the same games. As others have said, go watch Ashens on YouTube.
So I'm new to this guy Ashen. Is he a big name? Seems entertaining. I mostly watch walkthroughs if I get stuck in a game and I've not watched this guy before but he seems funny

Ashens is pretty entertaining. He does a variety of stuff. Some days he's reviewing utter shit toys from Poundland, sometimes reviewing old classic stuff, and sometimes eating old/weird food and commenting on it. He actually even has a full-length independent movie he made on his channel you can watch and also has a book coming out.
EDIT: His demographic is also, from what I can tell, non-teens. He doesn't do any of the loud, annoying, over the top stuff like a lot of other folks do. He's more matter-of-fact and almost documentary like. It's something you can put on and relax to, while laughing in parts.

Quite a lot of those have actors I've heard of in them; that is, actors I'd think would know better. Why on earth would they do such obvious schlock? Do these clearly terrible movies pay well?
You just reminded me of a movie I saw as a kid called Olive the Other Reindeer. It was about a dog named Olive that misheard a news report. One of Santa's lead reindeer (I forget which one) was sick or something and couldn't make the run that year. The anchor said that Santa would have to rely on "all of the other reindeer." Olive misheard and thought that the guy said "Olive, the other reindeer." Her friend told her that she was crazy, but she insisted that she needed to go to the North Pole because Santa was calling.
Anyway, the friend sold "genuine" Rolexxx watches. Near the end of the movie, they're flying past Big Ben, and on the face it says "Rolexxx."
I have no idea why I felt the need to say that. I guess I just want someone else to remember that damn movie!

I'd watch the shit out of a Sense of Right Alliance show. Shrek, Spider-Man, Batman, Superman, a Power Ranger and Lightning McQueen team up to stop the forces of evil!
That's hilarious. I feel like they had a bunch of surplus knockoff toys that weren't selling individually, so they decided to package them all together
That would depend if it's a single action or double action. I used to own an antique single action spur trigger revolver. They never had trigger guards. Of course mine was chambered in an obsolete. 32 rim fire caliber so it was just a wall hanger anyway.
...You realize this thing is 12ga, right? You couldn't pay me to shoot it. Holy pants. That's asking for your hand to look like T2000s after Arnie pumps a shotgun round into it.
At home I have a small, lightweight, china made 12 gauge pump action shotgun. After pumping 4 12 gauge slugs through it I promptly put it back in the trunk of my car and haven't shot it since, kicked like a mule. So yes I am very aware of what this would do to my hands!
Oh man haha :) Fair enough. I was just teasing that 12 GA through something that looks like it was made with an EZ Bake Solder Oven isn't for me :p
Edit: Holy shit. Either I "read" your username and that's what made me write what I did, or that's one fuckin' coincidence. I swear I didn't consciously notice... haha

True, though I doubt that four banger that they are putting in that Chinese pickup puts out much torque. You can pull stumps with that straight six in your Ford.

Years ago when my little brother and I were at Fuddruckers we actually won one of those super rigged "stacker" arcade games that always had the coolest prizes. There was I think a $50 Target gift card and a super blatant knockoff iPod Touch, but since the iPod touch knockoff looked more interesting we chose that. Oh my god was that I mistake. Granted, the main reason we chose it was curiosity about how bad it was but I mean it was soooo bad. Plastic screen, unresponsive touch, pre-installed weird unplayable games, a camera that must have come out of a c. 2000 nokia, it was just unbelievable how spot-on the packaging was that was housing this god awful trash. Should have gone with the gift card, 100%.

When I was in High School I played guitar and one day at our State Fair I saw a booth with a ton of really cheap band stickers. I got a TON of them and stuck them all to my guitar case and I thought I was instantly cool. When I get to school on Monday my best friend compliments my bad ass case, but as he is reading one of the stickers he notices something; they are all fakes.
They all had names that were just a little off. 'Dave Matthew Band' 'Jimy Hendrix' 'Lad Zeppelin' 'Smashing Pampkins' etc. So embarrassing.

I bought a Hitachi wand after my knockoff broke. They look almost identical, but the knockoff feels like an empty plastic tube with a motor in it while the real one is like 100 horsepower encased in plastic.
In my defense, it was an unusually hot summer day in the Pacific Northwest and the movie theater promised air conditioning! As for Mac & Me, you can blame my parents for buying those tickets.

I saw an "Alembic" guitar in a guitar shop once. For those who aren't familiar, it's a boutique, custom made guitar with exotic woods, excellent build quality. Costs thousands, and some times can take years for an order to be fulfilled. example of a real Alembic.It was clearly a knockoff, and looked like it was built by a teenager in shop class. Parts had fallen off, the paint was shoddy, and nothing worked at all. Price tag: $2,500.
I had a friend that took an Alembic bass into a pawn shop down south, just because he had it and was driving by. The guy said "it ain't no Fender and it ain't no Peavey, I'll give you $50 for it." I'd never heard of the six strings, nice axe.
I would intentionally piss him off by calling it his new "Olympic" bass, Olympic being a really, really shitty brand you'd find at a pawn shop or a K-Mart.

I don't think they really sell it much outside the US. It's a brown soda made with vanilla and other stuff. I'm not really sure how to describe it's taste, it tastes a little bit like Dr. Pepper but not quite and there's a vanilla flavor to it. It tastes sort of dark and rich but not overly sweet.
Shhhh the day of my birth. What a momentous occasion for the progress of substandard root drink's everywhere. Rejoice in this, the day of our consumption! Amen.
No I don't think it is. But it was marketed as 'Root Drink'. I mean there's Barq's Rootbeer and A&W and probably a score of other root beers but they all say Rootbeer. This was just root drink. So, I'm not sure how that works actually? Lol
[deleted] ยท 3 points ยท Posted at 22:32:30 on December 3, 2015 ยท (Permalink)
The odd thing is that root beer is a generic term. It's not any brand. Was it not exactly root beer?
I think your right since many brands have root beer. But this only 2 words on the label and listed it as Root Drink. I'll don't really know why. That's a good point :/
I've actually thought that before! I mean, it's one of those things that skips your mind because you just get used to it, but yeah, our gas is in gallons, our milk is in gallons, most liquid measurements are gallons but pop sticks to liters. I wonder if there is a legitimate reason for that or if it's just like that because it is?
And what's more, as I sit here sipping my beer, I realized canned units for pop are in ounces. Which is imperial. It's only 2 liters that don't fit the trend. WHAT GIVES AMERICA!
When you said you found a bottle of brown soda I immediately pictured you picking up a half empty bottle off the side of the road and chugging it.
"Hmm, not bad. Bit flat, but once you get over the taste of herpies that's actually pretty damn good. 7/10. Now where's that rice bowl I stole from a 90 y/o asian granny......?"

It was about 6 years ago when I got it, I'm 90% sure it came from Aldi's. I know at some stores 3 liters are a thing. Usually only generic brands though.
A 'STREK WAR' t-shirt. Sic. Had what was obviously meant to be a wookie and a klingon arm wrestling on it but it looked like a six year old drew it so it looked more like a man with a swollen head was holding hands with his bear friend.
When I went to Europe as a teen, my classmates and I went through the street vendors in Rome, and this one tent was selling knock off stress balls. They were balloons, filled with sand, and googly eye stickers. People were actually spending 5 Euro on these. I was speechless
I mean come on. I'm sure many pronounce it as spe-qor in our heads.

The one that made me feel the worst was a t-shirt I saw when a friend of mine was first inoculating me to the internet. We were probably 12 and he was showing me a bunch of gory pictures from ogrish and stuff - one of them was a father holding his dead son's body. It was the aftermath of some kind of attack on an African village, one tribe vs the other. I was still pretty young and naive and pretty disgusted by a lot of what I'd seen that afternoon, this image in particular since the kid's brains were hanging out of his head, until I saw the shirt the dad was wearing. It had an Adidas logo on it but it said
ADIBOS
instead. For some reason I started cracking up and couldn't stop myself even though I felt like a total piece of shit for it even then.

My mom travelled to Nepal to go trekking a few years ago. She brought me back a crudely sewn, reversible, fleece pullover that had a 'Patagonia' tag on one side and a 'North Face' tag on the other.
It was so badly cut it was really uncomfortable to wear but the multiple counterfeit brands made me laugh.
The Uphone... Basically a fake phone designed to look like an iphone, with almost zero capabilities. A lot of Asian people would bring them into my store to activate when I worked for a major telecom, and I always felt bad for them when I had to break the news of how they got screwed

Recently I thought I was ordering a pair of hand-crafted Italian leather boots. They were beautiful, but a little pricey. Immediately after my card was charged I received an email receipt from somewhere in China. Tried replying to the email for a few days, asking questions, and got zero response. Started researching a little more in depth and found out they are just a total scam. Called my CC company and they reversed the charge. Many, many weeks later I received a package from China - a soft package, not even a shoe box. It contained the most hideous pair of boots I have ever seen, made of the cheapest cloth one could imagine and apparently put together with a craft glue gun. They are too hideous to even donate to charity; less than Dollar Store quality.

I've saved this post. I'm going back home for Christmas and we'll see if I can find it. It's probably long gone, I did a google search for it but it apparently doesn't exist anywhere.
Years ago my family and I went for a holiday in Bali, as was expected we found A LOT of fake stuff and there were entire department stores filled with fake watches, sunglasses and the like.
Towards the back of the shop on one of the shelves was a Tissot watch, upon closer inspection it looked a little scratched and had a bit of weight to it, my dad decided to shell out the $20 bucks to buy it (which was pretty expensive for a fake watch in an asian country).
When we got back home he took it to a couple of our local watch makers who each confirmed that it was probably real and was most likely stolen from a tourist at some point and was sold back to the store thinking it was fake.
And that's the story of how my dad got a 2000 dollar watch for 20 bucks.

Whoever was selling the knock-offs wasn't very good at their job because they lost about $1800 in the transaction, so I guess you could say it's the worst knock-off.

First paragraph on the linked article.
Hari Puttar is a 2008 Indian family drama film[1] directed by Lucky Kohli and Rajesh Bajaj. The film features Sarika, Zain Khan, Swini Khara, Saurabh Shukla, Vijay Raaz, Jackie Shroff and Lilette Dubey in lead roles.[2] It released on 26 September 2008. The film is a loose remake of the 1990 classic, Home Alone.
Holy shit. Hari is a common Indian name and Puttar means son (in Punjabi). Not only does the article say that but I can confirm this as I'm a Pakistani and we have similar languages.
Not me, but a friend went to China for a couple of months, and told a story about knockoff products.
Said she was approached by a vendor selling "very rare fox pelts" from a strange and unusual breed of fox that only lives in the most remote and dangerous places. And they're treasured for their beautiful fur of many different patterns and colors.
.
They were cats
Not only were they cats, they were really obviously cats. Calico, piebald, siamese - typical cat fur. I have a picture of her wearing a cat pelt, I can't get to it right now (at work) or I'd post it here.

Fake Lebron and Jordan sneakers, I could buy them for less than $40 a pair, and then sell them on ebay for $150, while telling people in huge bold lettering that they are knockoffs. These shoes would fall apart pretty much in a few months. Just buy the rarest colorway and boom huge profit.

as someone who has done work in anti-counterfeit/brand protection... you could get into big legal trouble for this. that's trademark infringement and you CAN be sued. most companies have teams that patrol websites like eBay to track, report and prosecute counterfeit sellers.
also, if you call the item a "knockoff," (also "replica," "inspired by," etc.) that sets you up for willful infringement and the penalties become even harsher.
I'm more than happy to answer any questions you have. just trying to help!

When beyblades were all the rage my mom bought me a cheap knockoff at a fair. To be fair, I asked her to. I was too young to really understand knockoffs. I just wanted the cool top.
Anyway, I bring it to school and find some kids playing with their beyblades. Excitedly, I ask if I can play. The kids take one look at my cheap toy and laugh, telling me to get lost. I was crushed, never touched my top again. Beyblades left a bad taste in my mouth after that.
That damn top is the worst knockoff I've ever seen.

When Cabbage Patch dolls first came out, I desperately wanted one. Of course, there were NONE to be found. No stores would hold them between the time you called to confirm they had stock and the time it took to drive over.
So my mom, bless her heart, made me one out of pantyhose and stuffing, with the little crinkles where the knees & elbows were.
I remember wanting to bawl, but I think by that age I'd been taught about being polite and when lying is encouraged.
Back when I was like 8 or 9 visiting family in Mexico my brother and I brought our Beyblades along to play with our friends down the street. We quickly had to buy some knockoffs since to kids there were basically the beaters that everyone used since the "originals" were usually just kept to collect or only brought out when someone else had an original for a "fancier" duel.
Originals were usually twice as expensive or something, or just really hard to find. They also had different sizes and qualities of knockoffs, some basically almost replicating the originals, except they weren't customizable or something. I had a great time those years. And then most of them dropped out of school at around age 15...
In "Fresh off the Boat", Jessica Huang mentions how as a child, she always wanted a "Sparkle-Time Beauty Horse", a Chinese knockoff of My Little Pony (they don't really exist). They look like this: http://imgur.com/FbOsqKn

The ones I always notice are the 2008-ish 520d with that single oval exhaust. I think I've seen more with an M sticker than without.
I was staring at one in a carpark one day, a shitload of other customisation done on it. The next thing the driver gets out and thinks I'm admiring it. He says something like "are you in love with my whip", really proudly.
I told him that I loved his out-of-the-box thinking for putting a diesel exhaust on it.

I once called one out in the parking lot of the grocery store, by saying "Nice M you got there". He got quite read headed and loudly told me to "mind my own business", but his 2 mates bust out laughing.
I drive a 135i, which is NOT a "1 Series M," and also not an M1. However, it does have the ///M sport package, which means that the steering wheel has ///M branding on it from the factory. It's confusing for people who know a bit about BMWs but aren't up to speed on the nuances.

IMHO it's ok in that case, as long as you don't put a big M back where the model bading is.
Personally, if I'd buy a car with M sport package, I'd take off all the Ms on the outside of the car.
Shortly into the Toms craze, Walmart started selling light, thin, canvas shoes called Bobs. It's like the execs had a 3 minute meeting at 4:55 on Friday afternoon and ended with the consensus of "fuck it, let the new guy down in the mail room name them".

Dollar store has a knock off Oreo. Can't recall the name at this moment.
While I was deployed to Afghanistan and stationed in a FOB, they had these little stores you could buy knock off items. The ones that I purchased was what we called "Hadji Beats" or in other words Dr. Dre's "Beats". I bought a pair of bluetooth headphones, wire headphones and a bluetooth speaker. The headphones were horrible and the sound quality even worse. The Speaker I still have and use constantly and has turned out to be a good purchase.
COPs sucked. I was providing weather and ISR support for Navy SPECWAR but when I was in Qatar, I was providing weather support for everything including AMC supply drops and was able to see some of those COPs.
I have a Breitling knock off a friend bought in Gonzhou. It has a good weight and it looks legit to an untrained eye. The buttons do work, but there's no sense in it controlling the watch's functions.
It does, however, require a new battery every month.

I've got a bunch of bootleg records that were made in Asia in the late 60s/early 70s - they look like real releases (Cream Disraeli Gears, Mamas and Papas) but the covers are cheap paper printed in duo tone, and the labels are white - they just scream "cheap crap."
Kennedy Fried Chicken. It was a complete knock off of KFC. Looked like they bought out an old KFC store and just left everything except the name. Reminded me of the McDowells in Coming to America.
I just looked it up again and current street view shows that they got rid of the trademarked red and white stripes for straight red and toned it down quite a bit (guessing lawsuit or threat).

I should have taken pictures of it, but at Halloween there were all kinds of knock off costumes (at all the weird pop up Halloween stores). Stuff that wasn't officially licensed but looked like popular things. So you can't say it's a Cersei Lannister costume, you have to call it "Queen of Thrones."
I saw Orange is a good color Inmate, can't call it Orange is the New Black, so that's what they came up with.
There's a number of different factors in determining whether something is fake or not, but some of the easiest are glass top boxes and cellophane, Cuban cigars never have either. Otherwise, looking at the bands and box codes are the best way to determine what's real and what's not. La Casa del Habano is the official Cuban cigar store so if you're traveling and want a Cuban find one of their stores.

๐๏ธ deskpalm ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 17:03:04 on December 3, 2015 ยท (Permalink)
And they can be brought back from Cuba? Or is it illegal?
Now that the restrictions are loosened it is possible to bring back up to $100 in Cuban tobacco and/or alcohol. That won't get a ton but depending on what cigars you buy it could still be 10-15.
Maybe 5-10% more than non-cubans in the US, but a lot of that is local taxes. There are limited edition and regional releases every now and then, those tend to go for a bit more. There are a few places that ship cubans to the US, but they obviously charge more.
Oh, man. A while back, my mother and I were cleaning out a deceased relative's house. This relative was a super heavy smoker, and died from conditions related to emphysema as far as I know, but we found a ton of cuban cigars, real ones, in a stash in the attic. They were completely moldy, though.

I work retail, in a camera department. I see a lot of grey/gray (knock-offs, fell off a truck, refurb, etc) market cameras come back, when people think they are getting a steal by buying a camera for up to $180 cheaper with 10+ accessories (for those who don't know a lot of high-er end items follow UMRP or Unilateral Minimum Resale Price, meaning that in this case Sony sets a price that we don't touch and no other retailer can touch and stay an authorized retailer- that's why bhphoto and such throw accessories at it to sweeten the deal) or from vacation abroad. Sony's mirrorless cameras have been knocked off a lot recently and are pretty successful because most people don't know them well enough yet. A few dead give always are: the Sony logo at the bottom of the flip-up display (knock-offs miss this one for whatever reason), sensor size -just pop the lens off and look- (APS-C is DSLR class and should not look like a 1/2.3" point and shoot class), UI/OS, weight (Sony is light but not that light), build quality, etc. Well someone brought a knock-off in that's AF wasn't functioning. I took a look and immediately it ticked all my boxes. To sell this one as the wort knock off, the UI/OS was literally Nikon's. There was a Sony badge (3d logo) on the back bottom right, and the display was at best 360p. I checked out the rest of the cameras, and it was AA powered... The list goes on. I tried to gently tell the customer what happened, and she actually was pretty cool about it, then she pulled out her "iPhone" to call her husband and let him know.

NOW WITH MICRO-USB! In all seriousness, I do feel bad for people who get suckered into these products. Its a crazy big market, and people get swayed by $100 off the standard price. I get wanting the latest and greatest, but shortcuts don't really exist in that kind of pursuit.

The booth owner was such a sweetheart. She let us know that the cards weren't official and were just for fun. We bought a bunch of them and had OP duels the rest of the week. Those knock off decks were awesome and hilarious.

I got conned by The Phantom stage production. Technically not a rip-off, it was based on the book the more-popular stage play used, The Phantom of the Opera, so it tells the same story but when it was advertised they really, really made it look like The Phantom of the Opera in every way.

When I lived in West Africa there were a lot. But my favorite were the many many ways that they would try to knock of Sony items. Usually just really terrible battery powered radios with various bad spellings on them:
Suny
Soni
Sonny
Sunny
Suni
There was a whole deal with knock off Casio products that was about the same.

There's this weird loser brand of Barbie at basically every Dollar Tree in my area. Its called "Fashion Girl". 11.5 inches, body shaped like an early 2000s Barbie, her eyes are neither the same size nor do they line up on her face. Her head is typically shoved down on her neck and her clothes (very plastic-y) looks like its been glued together at the seams. "Fashion Girl" is a shame to 11.5 inch dolls everywhere!
Once, when I was in my teens and the Iphone had just came out, I obviously didnt have the mulah to pay for it, so I bought an knockoff, the iPear. I was disappointed that there wasnt a pear decal on the back with a bite out of it, so I drew one anyway. I rocked that iPear until it broke three weeks later.

My friend and I were at a knock-off warehouse/bazaar type thing in Beijing. I stuck to hair scrunchies and strange t-shirts (I <3 BJ), but she was trying to get her hands on a cheap digital camera. It was already a little fishy when there was no brand name anywhere on the device, not even a knock-off name. Then, the clerk who was pressuring her to buy it tried to demonstrate how it worked. As soon as it turned it on and the lens piece extended, the word "ERROR" flashed on the screen and it immediately turned off. The clerk just sighed, threw his arms up, and walked off. I guess he realized she was no longer interested...
EDIT: I found a picture of one of the other t-shirts we saw, the photo is terrible, but it says "BOSTON MASSACHUBATTS EST. 1500" http://imgur.com/JUaujAk

About 15 years ago in Jersey a city, near Journal Square, there was a knockoff McDonald's. Other then the name (which I forget) and a single golden arch, it was indistinguishable from the genuine article. I strongly suspect the owner bought the building after McD's vacated it, then just opened a new restaurant there. The menu was basically a ripoff of McD's using standard grocery store ingredients, packed in generic lunch bags. Drink cups were Solo cups. They served Pepsi.

My sister and I went to one of those "used car extravaganzas" where some dealership has a fire sale on all their POS trade-ins. They promise financing for everyone and act like it's a treasure trove of bargains. We get there, and everything is ridiculously overpriced. I was driving a Dodge Neon at the time, and I saw a base model that was at least 3-4 years older than mine (and mine was about 7 years old at that point, and not a base model) that they were selling for $6K. Total scam.
Anyway, I spot a car with a Chevy emblem on the front and Neon headlights, and I'm like, "Well, wait a minute. Chevy made a car using those headlights?" I walk around the car, and it has a Plymouth emblem on the back like it's supposed to, because it's a Plymouth Neon Expresso. Around to the front again--yep, Chevy. OMG. They didn't even check the back of the car to see what brand of hood ornament to put on the front.
I start laughing my ass off, and my sister (trailed by an unctuous salesman in mid-spiel) comes over to see what's so funny. I said, "Look! It's a Neon, but it has a Plymouth ornament in the back and a Chevy ornament in the front! Hahahahah! Can you believe that?" The salesman obviously intuits that he has no shot at a sale and gets salty at me. "Well, did you know that the Neon was a joint effort by Chevy, Dodge and Plymouth, and they each came out with their own version?" To which I said, "No, it was Dodge and Plymouth, not Chevy, and I know that because I own one." The dude just walked off. Good luck selling that Chevy Plymouth Neon.

Back in high school, I came home late one night from the "movies". We were out drinking.. well.. trying to drink to be more correct. We just couldn't get any of my mates to man up and ask their elder brothers to buy booze for us. We failed hopelessly, I got home around 1.30am - my dad was waiting for me with a knock off pair of jumper cables and beat me silly like the /u/rogersimon10 he envisioned me to be. I still got a concussion. Stupid knock off item couldn't break at all.
When I was young, less than 10 years old, I got a copy of Pokemon Yellow. It never kept its save data. Ever. Every time I started it up I was back in Palette Town again.
It was a few years later when I realized it must have been a knockoff. At the time I just thought it was broken and didn't think much of it. I still had my copy of Blue, after all.

I can't find the images, but fake football (soccer) t-shirts from Thailand, the Rangers shirts were green and the Celtic shirts were blue.
I'm in Rome, right outside Vatican City. There's a vendor there trying to hawk rosaries to tourists, made of "authentic Murano glass." I look at the guy and ask if they really were from Murano, and he said, "Yes, totally, 15 Euro," or something of the sort. I was feeling cocky and said, "Really? Because they feel like plastic." Which they did. You could even see the seam from the plastic mold on each bead.
A few days previously we'd just come from Venice and a private tour of the Murano glass-making facilities. We'd had it explained to us that the facility is the only place on earth that can make Murano glass (as it is the island of Murano), and that any piece that leaves that facility is authenticated by the Venetian Chamber of Commerce.
So, needless to say, I was a bit skeptical of the vendor outside Vatican City.

I've worked at two jobs related to musical instruments, and the sheer number of parents who get duped into buying crappy, knock-off brands for band instruments and then wonder why they can't get fixed when they inevitably break is astonishing.
Case in point: a cheap, sparkle-finish violin bought off of Amazon. When you put the bridge where the bridge is supposed to go, the strings lay flat against the fingerboard.
Second case: one of my friends bought a cheap pocket trumpet off of Amazon, thinking that as long as it played, it would be fine. Right out of the box, the valves wouldn't move. The metal was so cheap that trying to push the valves with any force at all actually made them bend.
If you like knock off crap, I'll shamelessly plug Ashens' youtube channel. Dry British humor and reviews of knock off crap, terrible toys, old gaming consoles, etc. Highly recommended.

There was a Chinese salesman at a flea market, selling many Chinese things. Many of them definite knockoffs. They were designed to look exactly like a name brand thing, but you have to look closer to tell they were knock offs. One of which were batteries, designed to look exactly like duracells, but had "JiangLing" or the like printed on them.
My favorite one was a package of markers. You REALLY had to look hard, but the cursive writing on them spelled "Shoupie" instead of Sharpie. It was incredibly hard to tell by looking at them. It was easy to tell by using them.

A friend brought back a number of fake, cheap Rolex watches from a China trip about 10 years ago. He was handing them out as a joke, but the watches were surprisingly good. I expected it to last a week or so, but mine was reasonably waterproof (wore it to the beach) and had a good sweeping auto-wind movement.
About a month later the glow-in-the-dark markings inside the watch started falling off and rattling around under the crystal. I remember thinking how ridiculous it was that the overall watch and movement were so good but they used crappy glue or something.

Back in the 80's, 90's, etc., there were two very big names in car audio - Kenwood and Rockford Fosgate. At the local swapmeet, the car stereo guys would sell cheep knock-offs called Kenford and Rockwood. I guess that is what happens when those to big brands have babies.

Weren't really different but worse quality. As with many egyptian versions of American foods. Except McDonalds/CocaCola. Mcdonalds in Egypt was head and shoulders better than America's version
I had a kensonic hifi when i was a teenager, it was an awful piece of kit. Kenwood type lettering within the panasonic shaped badge. Looked like a kenwood seperate system at a glance but it was actually one piece with recessed slots. The good old days lol
Every year in middle school we took a field trip to Washington DC. Every year there would be pleasant gentlemen of african descent selling "Rolexes" and "Oakleys" for $5 each. Every year we bought the hell out of that fake shit until the teachers chased them off. We knew they were fake but for some reason we loved them.
It would have to be one of Dr. Good Guy, Dr. Celeste, Mr. Sipp, Mr. Pig, Mr. Pibb, Mr. Green, Mr. Ahhhhh, Texas Fizz, Real Dr., Dr. Soda, Doctor, Doc Holliday, Country Doctor, Braum's Special, Dr. Zip, Dr. Zestee, Dr. Wow, Dr. Wild, Dr. Whatever, Dr. West, Dr. Wells, Dr. Weis, Dr. W, Dr. Urge, Dr. U, Dr. Tops, Dr. Topper, Dr. Thunder, Dr. Thirst, Dr. Tex, Dr. Stripes, Dr. Star, Dr. Springtime, Dr. Springfield, Dr. Sparkle, Dr. Smooth, Dr. Slice, Dr. Skipper, Dr. Shaw's, Dr. Shasta, Dr. Vess, Dr. S, Dr. Rush, Dr. Rocket, Dr. Right, Dr. Riffic, Dr. Red and White, Dr. Radical, Dr. R, Dr. Quencher, Dr. Publix, Dr. Pride, Dr. Pop, Dr. Fizz, Dr. Perky, Dr. Perfect, Dr. Path, Dr. Parker, Dr. Parade, Dr. Nut, Dr. Nehi, Dr. M, Dr. Lynn, Dr. Lowe's, Dr. Kist, Dr. K, Dr. Joe's, Dr. IGA, Dr. Hyvee, Dr. Hightop, or any of a number of other Dr. Pepper knockoffs. There are dozens more:
I can vouch that Dr. Chill (SuperValu store brand) deserves the 4.5 it gets. The regular and the diet are really good. It's not unusual for us to get a few cases and they're gone within a week.

Not the brand, but how people sell knock offs so what I think is too funny.
Went to the swap meet, dude is selling sunglasses - I ask how much the Spy's are and he says "Oh these, these are $170".
I was like "Uh huh, no. I'm not paying that much for glasses at a swap meet, I was thinking like $10."
He says, "Oh! You wanted knockoffs why didn't you say so? Let me get some for you."
He then takes the box with the $170 "real" Spy's, squats down behind the table out of sight, fake rummages around for 5 seconds like he's looking for something, and emerges with what I am quite positive was the exact same box and glasses he just took off the table, and he like "Here ya go, found a pair! 10 bucks."
TBT the ASEIKON digital watch in the display case, with the Swatch-style rubber face guard covering either end of the brand marking. It looked (and was priced) like the nice Seiko watches next to it.
A Qatar anyways jersey. My neighbors went to Barcelona and brought me a FC Barcelona jersey. I lived with it comfortably for a year before I realized it said Qatar Anyways... Still kept it

I'm late to the game, but when I was about 10 or 11 my mom bought me an Esprit shirt at a bargain store in our town. After wearing it to school once I realized it was actually an Espit shirt.
When I was a kid we got these fake Nike shirts at the flea market. The swoosh was way too curved, the material was like sandpaper, and they shrunk short and wide.
In Australia, they badge cars with Chevrolet badges, even though the car is not a check. I have not seen such a widespread habit like this anywhere in the world.
They badge Holden Commodore's and Cruzes with Chevy badges... And it's pretty widespread.
I'm on holiday in QLD to be with my fiance, and he always points that out to me. It's real interesting seeing cars here compared to the cars back home in the States.
My friend and I both bought Georgia Armini watches in Bulgaria for 5 lev each. We made a bet that whoever's watch stopped working first had to pay for the other persons'. His reached the airport. But mine only reached the hotel.

I studied in Hong Kong one summer in college and did an internship. My then boss forced me to come with her to a counterfeit mall in the mainland one Saturday. It's exactly what it sounds like: everything sold there was counterfeit. 2 of the worst things I saw:
1) Golf balls. As a white American dude, every random seller that saw me tried to run up to me and sell me counterfeit golf balls. What's funny about them is that they were usually such bad quality that they could break apart, even turn into a puff of dust, upon hitting them with your golf club (almost bought as a gag gift)
2) Eggs. I shit you not, in 2005 counterfeit eggs were common enough that there were warning signs from the government everywhere not to buy them. I have no idea what they were made of, but I made sure to stay away from anything egg related for the day.
The best part is how horrible troll translations are when you see all these...... Fucking Robert Cop.

Guitar Super Star Asked for guitar hero on my birthday, got this piece of shit. It was literally a guitar with AV cables and a power cord coming out of it. No game disc, the whole sack of shit was self contained in the guitar.
I saw a Gamestation 2 at a flea market in New Jersey.
It was advertised to have over 300 something games, but it was really just like 3 games in 100 different languages.
It was something like that. I think we got an ad in the mail and I noticed it was a knockoff but only had $20 for speakers so I gambled and they worked fine for the money.
I saw someone with knockoff beats headphones with an upside down skinnier B on the side instead of the normal b. Plus the headphones sounded like shit, the quality was horrible.
South east asia. Retail computer game/ video stores with rows and rows of pirated disks. Covers were random, screenshots from unrelated games, varied from box to box. FF7 had boxes that made it look like a fps, rts, driving game, anything but a RPG.
Literally all of it is asian-made knockoffs. Even the branded stuff that looks legit (but at 1/2 to 1/10th the price) is counterfeit.
As good as it looks, they don't do any of the QC or engineering the real companies do, just make something the same shape and size.
It's one thing for knockoffs to be ugly or wrong, it's another for them to look right and actually be dangerous to use. Real CF is stronger than the traditional alloy parts, and if you expect this stuff to perform even as well as the alloy, you're going to faceplant when it snaps.

This reminds me when I was little and i would have a birthday party at a bowling ally or laser tag place with a bunch of other kids my best friends mom would always get me some cheap piece of crap dollar store toy.
Bought a 10 pack of sharpies at a great price, but then they wouldn't write after the first use. We were super confused until we looked closely and saw that they weren't sharpies, they were skerple with just the right font so that they looked like they said sharpie on the side.
Found this at a Dollar Tree. It's literally unreal, as in it's mostly water and shortening. The best part is that it's not any cheaper than actual sour cream.

I was poor when I was a teenager so I used to buy market stall knock off items of brands that all the other girls at school were wearing at the time (mid-'90s.) Some of my favourites that I remember:
Aribas (Adidas) trainers, a Bobby-G (Baby-G) watch, a Niff-Naff (Naf Naf) jacket, Niki (Nike) trainers. I also had a box of Crayonla (Crayola) crayons.
I respect your opinion too. I just know A LOT of people that REALLY liked them before Dark Horse. After that, it was like the internet ERUPTED in Nickelback hate and I never understood why.
Sure, if you base it on quality of music, it just wasn't there after Dark Horse. But they turned into a party band, which is what they were going for. They started to get away from the deep thought of music and were just having fun. Kinda like Metallica with the Garage Days album. I HATED Metallica for doing that album, now it is one of my favorites, LOL.
Right on. I've heard Chad Kroger is actually a pretty down to earth guy. They just came out in a period when there seemed to be a lot of Cobain inspired vocalists in bands. I'd just rather listen to Nirvana is all.
I'm not sure if it's considered a knock off but this is one of my favorite shirts of all time. http://imgur.com/y8shW0b I should have bought it but the price was ยฅ3000 and my wife would have killed me
The dollar store by my old house sold knock-off Sharpie markers. The most memorable brand names were "Shoupie" and "Skerple." They were the worst markers in the universe. They were already dried out when you opened the package, and the ink/end would just push up into the marker if you pressed them to paper.
We still laugh at those stupid names, though.

Off brand gas stations and convenience stores always make me chuckle (and keep driving). We have a chain of gas stations in my part of the US called "Circle K." They're low-end and shady to begin with. But my town had the "Circle J", complete with knock-off logo and signs. The circle J was the place to go if you wanted to be mugged, raped or sold shitty weed (or maybe all 3.)

A Goach handbag. It was awesome. I told my wife to get it, but she didn't have any money on her. I think it was maybe better than the real deal and it was only $18.
My brother went to Hong Kong about ten years ago and brought back so much hilarious knock off merchandise. My favorite was a Megaman game for gameboy color. The box art had so many grammatical errors, the screenshots were from Megaman X, and the game company listed on the box was Disney.

This was a few years ago, back in the burbs of North-West Chicago. I forget the name of the store, but they sold knock-off stereo equipment that had logos and fonts similar to the real brands...but if you read closely, they would be "Panasoanic" or "Sonyy" or something else that on a fast glance, would seem like a real brand. If you ask, they would say in a heavy accent "no no, it's same. Same insides. Just like Sony. Is same. Is good. You buy?" I swear, it was like out of some bad comedy sketch if I hadn't experienced it first hand.

I was walking around in China and found a Tomy Hilfiger store. It also sold Addidos.
When I was in middle school, my friend REALLY wanted one of the "NO FEAR" shirts all the kids in our class were wearing, but his mom was poor and did all her shopping at Goodwill, so was apparently limited. One day I was at his house when his mom came in super proud of herself and tossed on the ground a t-shirt for him. He was excited for about 2 seconds until he realized it was a "NO FAIR" shirt, with a quote on the back that was some bratty princess kind of line. So where "NO FEAR" shirts would say "Hold my trophy while I kiss your girlfriend", this one said something like "Credit card's maxed out and I'm only at the 2nd shop in the mall."
He was pretty disappointed, but I think he was used to that since he was poor and got over it quickly.

It's like, if they wanted to commit to being a knockoff why would you get the font so wrong, and if you wanted to make your own brand but encroach on the design then why give it the same name.

She bought an "electric razor" to shave the mustache off her face. Not kidding. Anyway, this thing looked like an inexpensive yellow/orange single blade Bic razor and had a double A battery attached to the end of it.
My husband and I laughed about it for years. The last thing I want anywhere near me is a Bic razor with a battery on it. It seems like it would vibrate all over your face if you tried to shave with it and you'd end up with a face full of cuts.

Growing up in the American southwest, I thought that Taco Bell was about as gringo as you could get. Then I moved to Seattle. There is a regional chain called Taco Time. They were selling Ore-Ida(tm) TaterTots(tm) under the name "Mexi-Fries." Let that sink in. Potatoes from Oregon and Idaho, sold as if millions of Mexicans had reinvented mini-bite-sized hash-browned potatoes centuries ago, hauled across the desert to share their cultural home cuisine with the people of the Pacific Northwest.
When I was stationed in Egypt, they had them at the one Market. Just like M&M's with peanuts. I have to look. I may still have an empty bag of them that I saved...

My mom bought me "Tim's" instead of Timberland Boots one xmas because I asked her for Tim's like any aspiring ghetto white youth in Philadelphia did that year.
I can't find any pictures (it doesn't help when three of the character's names have "Toy" in them), but some of the "Official" Five Nights at Freddy's Knockoff Merchandise...
One picture I've seen consisted of an orange man, a disembodied animatronic head, a horribly disfigured version of what I'd imagine to be Freddy... if anybody knows the pic I'm talking about, or if I find it, I'll link it.
I was once in line a local store that sold salvage-type stuff everything from clothes to furniture - whatever. The guy behind me in had cotton swabs in his hand, I looked closely and they were O-tips, not Q-tips. Made me giggle and shiver at the same time.

I'm going completely off of memory and stories I've been told but, I remember hearing about something called the Suny Gamestation that a lot of grandmothers bought for their grandchildren with the best of intentions, only for their grandchildren to be massively disappointed when they realized it wasn't a real Playstation and didn't even play discs. It was limited to like the 30 or so Atari-quality games that came hard coded on the thing. I can only imagine the looks of disappointment on the kids faces who received one of these things and the sadness the grandparents must have felt when they realized they goofed.
Well i bought this fake Aaron Rodgers jersey at a gas station in PA, and i just keep it as a memory for a nice weekend, but God it's laughably fake. Cost me 12 bucks
In Mexico, around 2006 I think, there was this marvel of Japanese Soni Technology: The Aypo MP4 player (in spanish it is pronounced as "iPod" without the trailing D).
It even worked as a spy microphone, and you could play games in it! Or so they claimed... never bought it.

I've only had great luck with "knock offs" haven't found anything bad yet, but I do the research and read other people's reviews. So no complaints here Bro!
A FlashLight. Tried to cram my dick in it and about bent it in half. I didn't get why there was a glass in the opening, worst sex toy ever. Fool me once...
I once saw a box of "Trojans" condoms. The logo was a wooden horse. Not today, baby supply stores, not today. Hopefully not nine months from now either...
When the Wii came out I must have been 11 or so, and I asked for it for Christmas. What I got instead was the biggest heap of shite I ever saw. It was called the "Xii" and it came preloaded with 100 games, each and every one of them utter shite. My parents both agreed that it was a steaming pile of pig droppings and returned it and got their โฌ50 back. That was a sad Christmas.

At least your parents realized their mistake instead of yelling at you ("you don't like it? You're a ungrateful selfish brat who doesn't appreciate what we get you for Christmas!")
Yeah, that's very true, to many it will sound like that, but I cannot convey how awful it really was. My dad tried to play it and he just laughed at it.
My husband bought a "sterling silver" chain necklace for about $20 on our little visit to Tijuana. It lasted 7 hours when it literally fell to pieces off his neck.
My favourite was always the knock of yugioh cards! Some I picked up in Spain were blatantly translated badly, my all time favourite is a two way tie between "Scary blanched death lizard with eyes of blue" or "Sitting bored giant gods right arm"

I once bought a DVD set of the cosmos series from ebay a while ago, it was a crappy chinese knockoff, shit was vcds and didn't even play correctly on computer/dvd player.
When we were kids, we were subjected to a "Piggly Wiggly", which was known for having such items as "Hitz" crackers, instead of "Ritz". My brother and I, the animals that we were/are, had a laugh.

I have a black Pokemon Crystal cartridge (they're supposed to be a sparkly translucent blue) that I bought while in Israel. It plays perfectly fine, but sometimes I'll leave and come back and my character will have gender swapped. :/ Was pretty amusing.
Back in the day when I was a teenager "The North Face" bubble jackets were the shit. I mean, if you could afford one of those.
One day I was walking to school and I saw this chinese guy hanging out smoking a cigarette with a super cool fucking North Face bubble jacket. As I walked closer I was like "yoo this chinese dude is rocking an awesome bubble brooo". Except he wasn't.
His jackets brand was "The North Faith".

In London (South specifically) there is a wonderful, scrum-diddly-umptious chain of chicken shops called Morleys. Although I'm afraid only 50% of that statement is true. They are most definitely shops, but there's absolutely no way I can guarantee any authentic chicken content in what they offer. Anyway, despite their consumables being somewhat...analogue let's say, Morley's seem to have become enshrined in the chicken shop community, and various venture capitalists have taken sophisticated inspiration from the brand to create their very own unique take on delicious prosthetic dinners
To begin with, let us refer to exhibit A. The one, the only, the original, the delicious, the nutritious, 'Morleys'!
Ah, the iconic red and white decor, beaming out at us, drawing us toward, akin to a delicious safe haven that we all eventually orbit every other thursday night on the way back from work drinks. Everything will be alright after a Morleys. After all, '...It tastes better'. Better than real chicken? I doubt it.
First up in our list of inspired fried rat retailer replicas we have, of course, the pride of Deptford, 'Mowley'. Frequented undoubtedly by GCSE bunkers and relapsed chicken addicts, you might think it reminiscent of Morleys, but it just doesn't '..taste better'. I'd recommend not tasting it at all
Blazing in at 2nd place, I give you Nunhead's own, 'Monleys' ('Local', of course). Never been in, it's 5 minutes from my house. I should really go, but I choose life instead
Numero tres - now this I love. I just wish it was called MerliN or something. Either way, great effort. This place is situated on the opposite side of the Chernobyl-esque Aylesbury estate to where I live. If I ever decide to try and make it through there alive, I just hope the pilgrimage is worthwhile. I wonder if I'll ever find out if '...it's real tasty'. One day I'll start a blog about it. 'Merlie', ladies and gents
Now for the two that didn't make the official list, purely due to poor effort and lack of authenticity -
Morlys what the fuck is this, man? You can't just remove a letter and rip the whole franchise off, after all they've done for the fried rodent community! And that fucking tagline! Ha! It may aswell say 'I better not be able to taste this'
Lastly, because they just missed the point entirely, McNeil's or is it MC Neil's? Do they chuck in his mixtape when you cop a junior spesh?
Anyway, thankyou for joining me on my voyage through London's visionary institutions of imitation poultry goodness. Hopefully see some of you at Mowleys in about half an hour

When he got back to his room and tried to use it, it kept failing when he tried to copy files to it. SHen he opened it up it turned out to be a flash drive glue in place with several pieces of metal to add weight.
The "super Mariano" one isn't a knock off, just a skateboard graphic for Girl Skateboards. It was a design for one of their sponsored skaters, Guy Mariano. Funny ass list though

I love seeing Chrysler Crossfires where people replace the badges to make it look like a Mercedes. I see them a lot in California, for whatever reason. Technically Mercedes did help develop them, but it's kinda fucking stupid in my opinion. Also illegal.
Reedot shoes when I was on the bus in Mexico. I had some Reeboks that looked just like it, which was rare to see in the 90's. I chuckled when I noticed the knockoff label.

GoPro had a competitor last year called Ion. The Wi-Fi is built in, the camera was barrel-shaped, and the video quality is comparable to GoPro. My Walmart got stuck with a considerable number of them after Black Friday last year. They sat in the store room for a while, before someone got tired of tripping over them and priced them to 1/4 orirginal cost at $35 apiece... a $58 loss per unit.
We still sell a knock off version of the Ion camera, for $55.
So many fake wedding gowns. - ladies no groom wants to see you in a cheap knock off!! Visit a local boutique there are always sales..
Bridesmaid dresses too... so cheap you cant decide what is going to go up in flames first, their hair because of hairspray or the fabric.

A Gibson Les Paul Custom that somebody tried to part-ex at a shop I used to work at. The thing was just totally wrong. He was adamant that he paid ยฃ2500 or whatever but was desperate for a Les Paul Standard (a slightly lower-end variant of the model).
The first thing that caught my eye was the fact it was noticably mis-shaped around the body. The neck was huge in the higher registers near the body and seemed to taper off to a really thin shape in the lower end. The headstock shape was fine (which is why the body seemed weird) but once you got into the logo shape, truss rod cover, the fact that the truss rod cover didn't actually cover a truss rod adjustment nut and the adjuster was actually underneath the neck pickup, the fact that the pickups had Made In China stickers on the bottom, the fact that the low e string wouldn't stay on the fretboard as the bridge had been drilled too far over, it was pretty obvious the guy was a scammer.
When we rejected his amazing "plays like butter" instrument and told him we would give him ยฃ30 for comic value to hang outside the shop for people to throw things at, he got mad and told us we didn't know what we were talking about, he was an amazing touring musician and he would tell all his fans not to shop with us.
Amazingly we lost no sales, though I would have liked to have heard what he said at his next Wembley gig. Or ever heard of him at all for that matter.
I saw the same guitar advertised for sale locally for a few weeks. I reckon either some poor sap got stiched up with it, or he cut his losses and grew up.

Little late, but I remember when I was about 10 years old, I went camping with my parents. There was some sort of fair going on at the campgrounds, and we saw a T-shirt booth, selling what we thought were Nike shirts. We thought the prices were awesome, and being the 1990's, Nike was a huge brand, so like my whole family got themselves a shirt. Several days later, upon further inspection, we realized we had bought knockoff NK Air shirts. It's still a running joke between my brothers and I to this day. Whenever I see Nike brands, I think "NK" instead.
While living in Singapore I saw a shop selling Hogu Boos aftershave in Little India. I've seen plenty of cross bred knock offs too, like a Vuitton bag with Hermes logo/clasp. Asia is hard to beat for this kind of thing.
My personal favourite is a pair of Adidas trainers (sneakers?) i saw in a shop once but they had the letters jumbled a bit so they were actually selling Aidads. Not quite what I need on my feet.
A friend of mine and I kept promising ourselves that we would have a knock-off movie marathon, courtesy of our local mom and pop movie rental store. What was on our list? The classics. "Transmorphers", "Snakes on a Train", "I am Omega", things in that area.
Roadmaster!
How can Wal*Mart sell this 200 watt system for $39.99? ROADMASTER!! Wonderful radios, cassette players, speakers, amps... and a 90 minute warranty.
Pop Stations. I've never seen one in person, but Ashens used to do them a lot. They look like whatever game console/controller is big right now, but they play off a tiny screen and have the most basic games possible. Even more basic than pong.

The worst in terms of branding had to be a cereal called "Corn Flavored Hexagons." It was like the store-brand version of Chex (little, crunchy corn cereal squares). You figure that if they'd bother doing something like adding two sides, they would at least think of a better name. But no... they didn't. And that's okay, because it gives me something to laugh about 10 years later. My only regret is that I never bought any. Sigh.

In Israel there is a restaurant named Burgers Bar. There is also a restaurant called Bar Burger, with the exact same logo, menu, and ambiance. Most shameless ripoff I've ever seen, but they were open later and were cheaper so I ate there all the time.
Waaaay back in the early 90s, when The Simpsons first came out in the UK and neon-printed baggy t-shirts and bermuda shorts were all the rage, I remember our local market carrying t-shirts featuring "Burk Simson", who was skateboarding and saying his catchphrase, "Kowabuga".

Was at a Wal-Mart in Natchez Mississippi. They had palettes displaying soda. The first was doctor pepper and then the D.P. knockoffs. First, you know, dr. Thunder, then dr. P. (We all know these) but have you heard of "I'm a dr.!" It's name basically says, I'm one of the dr. pepper knockoffs. This was a decade ago, I will never forget!
Late to the party, but I live in China so I have a LOT.
Best:
a pair of Adidas Pumas. Shoes with both logos.
Nikf hats with a skinnier swoosh. They think if they spell something slightly differently, it doesn't count as counterfeit, apparently.
Abibas shirt.
Burger Chuang. It's like burger king, but not at all. Except for the logo, name, decor, and pictures of food. The food is not even close, and they only have one burger with beef. I ordered it once, they deep fried the patty. And I think it was pork anyway.

I'm on the fence as to whether this counts as a knock off or just a scam, but it's too entertaining not to share.
In 2011 a woman from South Carolina reported to police that she had purchased an iPad from two men in a McDonald's parking lot. The men claimed to have bought a ton in bulk and were offering her the iPad at a discount. She forks over $180 (discounted from the asking price of $300) and they hand her a FedEx box from the trunk of their car. When she gets home, she opens the box and instead of an iPad there is a block of wood - painted black with the apple logo on one side and complete with fake app icons on the other.

Fake North Face jacket and Denali fleece. They came as a set that snapped together, which was nice. However, despite the jacket having a Gore-Tex logo on it, it would instantly absorb water and soak through. The fleece had shiny nylon on the shoulder and sleeve reinforcements and pilled after just a few wears. I called it North Fake.
From west London. We have a Portuguese chicken place called Nandos - very popular in the UK. 4 doors down, a Portuguese chicken place call Frangos opens. EXACT same food and prices - didn't last long. If I was Nandos I would have been pissed, but theyre awesome so have a pretty loyal following :)

Went to a flea market with my parents and see some Sharpies for sale. I think "Hell yeah! 10 sharpies for $2, that's a steal!" But my mom warns me and says everything at flea markets are knock offs, not worth the risk. But I didn't listen and bought them anyways. Got home, opened em up, and not one of them worked. Upon closer inspection they weren't Sharpies, but Skarpies.
As a kid at a friend's birthday party about 15 years ago, we drank Dr. Lariat instead of Dr. Pepper. I remember it tasted fine, but couldn't get over the name.

Also you know a game isn't optimized because it can run on a shitty computer when it's a low quality shitty game..

It's actually got quite nice looking graphics and will run on 99% of PCs that are capable of watching HD video. I'm not a League fanboy, I don't play it all that much, but I can recognize that it's a well optimized game. You just seem like a disgruntled player that needs a break.

I was diagnosed with a fake brain tumor this week (Pseudotumor cerebi). Pretty sure I prefer the fake to the real, but damnโฆa fake tumor??? It's actually just too much fluid in my brain creating pressure and putting pressure on my nerves like a tumor would.
I played "Mario World" for sega genesis yesterday. You had to throw boxes at the enemies to kill them, and had a health bar. You also started with some ki blast from Dragon Ball which is your primary attack, until you get hit once and lose it. If you tried jumping on an enemy you lost life, and it was just fucking awful.
I was at a flea market and thought I struck gold when I bought a 20 pack of Sharpies for $2USD. Only when I got home did I realize they were not Sharpies, but Shoupies. And they sucked.

My middle school teacher loved sharpie markers. So a bunch of us for a Christmas present decided to get her a brand new pack. One person went to the dollar store and came back with Shoopies instead of Sharpies. Exact same cursive hand writing too.

Once thought I was getting a good deal on Sharpies at a Mom and Pop dollar store in Chinatown. Brought them home and they were absolute shit. They were all either completely dried out or streaky.
Then I realized they weren't Sharpies. They were Skarples...
I once got a knock off $5 bill but I didn't notice til after I received it. Not only was it a different size but it was a different shade of blue and thinner. Totally spent that shit at comic con though because I was low on money.

I was raised in Abu Dhabi, in the United Arab Emirates- I was 16 the first time I had sex- really awesome Canadian girl. My parents were out of town and she was over fooling around. She was actually the one that suggested that we do the deed. So naturally, I was totally psyched-- except I didn't have a condom.
So here I am sprinting 2 blocks from our villa to the closest bodega, we called them the paki stores, to get some rubbers. Unfortunately these shops are known for carrying knockoff everything, even condoms. I ended up with "surex". No shit.
We do the dirty, and as you could have guessed, this condom probably only lasted a few awkward thrusts. After coming, I pull out to find this piece of shit condom in shreds-
Long story short we were freaked out but thank god she wasn't pregnant.

When i first came to China, I got an iPlum phone. The back was a plum with a crisp bite taken out of it and when you turn it on, it played a fixed-volume, loud 10-second Korean music video where the women were wearing just aboutnothingatall.

Sometimes in China you find a really sweet ass men's jacket. It's like where all these variables combined and a foreign maker ordered a first round and the manufacturer churned out an extra thousand using materials they over-quoted as necessary to the client, but then on the back is the cursive "Barbie" logo. There's so much of this stuff, and eventually these people are going to be able to read what they're fucking wearing. It's going to be like the myth of Adam and Eve suddenly feeling shame.

I really wish I could remember the name of the knock off, but the Tim Allen movie Jungle 2 Jungle had a knock off movie that was basically plagiarized. Right down to the lead character who was a generic Tim Allen type actor.

Visiting Quebec City circa 2003 they had these hilarious knockoff brands in the mall. I remember something along the lines of "Don John" (sean john) and Exco (Echo).

Dunno if they are strictly speaking the worst knock off items I've seen, but back in september, I was in Greece. Crete, Heraklion, to be precise. There was this souvenir shop selling the usual tourist-y crap, and then there was the perfume selection. All big brand names, only prices ranged from โฌ3 to โฌ9.
Just for kicks, we bought a few, and some of them actually did smell like the original, but they only lasted like 30 mins before wearing off.

I remember when I was in Kosovo with the army. We used to have a wireless internet connection that was provided by a local company in the town of Mitrovica. They had an internet cafรฉ as well and the place was called "Mitrosoft", written using the same font as Microsoft. They were actually very nice, but the internet connection was terrible. Most of the time it didn't work. Sometimes it did work wonderfully, though. Ah well, there was loads of knock off shops in the city and everywhere you saw bootleg CDs and DVDs. They even had large banners across the main streets etc. It was simply tolerated by the police.

Captain Morgan rum? Nope, it's Admiral Nelson!, which I just learned has an interesting origin story.
When my wife and I just met 5 years ago we went to a BBQ and she asked me to get cheap rum for mixers. We finally finished that bottle of gross Admiral Nelson about 3 months ago.
Well, these knockoff off-brand cheap (4 for $35) GameCube controllers are pretty bad. If nothing else, the Control Stick starts to break extremely quickly in that it won't "stick" back on the neutral position and I was wobble it around a decent amount and still be staying in a total dead zone now. There might be other things too, but I don't have the reference of a real controller to check against.
I'm not really sure if this qualifies as a "knock off", but here it is anyway. I bought a new "sweatshirt" to wear to my Christmas party later this month. It's supposed to be a cute "off-the-shoulder sweatshirt"...but it is neither a sweatshirt, nor off-the-shoulder. UGH! Will be sending back asap.

I bought an awesomely bad Nokia phone knockoff while working in Madagascar. The screen was full of semi-legible gibberish and I think you had to be about 50 feet from a cell tower to get it to work. Eventually it caught fire when I plugged it into a charger, leading me to get a slightly better knockoff...
Air Jordan basketball sneakers from the Philippines. Instead of the silhouette of Jordan dunking it was some dude doing a lay up. I bought them immediately thinking it was a special edition. I don't think my 10 year old self appreciated the irony as much as I do now.
My Folex. I got it somewhere in the Caribbean and the insides are still labeled from the cheap Chinese brand they gutted to make it. Major problem is it weights 1/100th of what a real rolex weighs. I do have to say it's 8 years old and keeps running with the occasional battery change.

I love bags. There's this lady who comes into my store every day with an awful fake Chanel. The inside is all fucked up and the stitching is botched on the outside. Once I said to her "oh my god!! Is that a Chanel? I love it! It's so classic!!" and she was like "thanks :) my husband bought it for me!" Wow really? Your husband is an asshole
If she likes it what does it matter? That seems a little mean to me. If they can't afford a real chanel purse then who cares? That doesn't automatically make her husband an asshole, you don't know if he was unaware, or they both already know. Just because he didn't pay hundreds of dollars for a purse...
It would have been a better story if you stopped after the third sentence
If you can't afford to carry a real one, I don't really understand what having a terrible looking knock off would do that a bag from a different mark at a different price point wouldn't do better. Rebecca Minkoff for example makes incredible quality bags, many with an extremely similar look but with enough difference that a noticing eye wouldn't look and think, "oh that's a fake Chanel" but maybe "what a beautiful bag!" I think her husband is an asshole because whether or not she realizes it's not genuine, he is inviting judgement (from people like me who notice! Woops!). The way certain knock-offs are priced, a good fake Chanel might be a couple hundred dollars or more. A real one is in the thousands, and a poor fake with real leather might be ~100-150. I'm going to judge because if I have spent a lot of money on something I love and see somebody else trying to pass off their fake as something real, it's dishonest and it bothers me.
Or... maybe her husband knows even less about designer bags than she does. I could not for my life tell the difference between an authentic designer handbag and a knockoff. I think most men are in the same boat.

I dont exactly know what you call it in english, but the plate/blades you use on hand held grinders to cut with. There are some many shitty ones that have come and gone where I work, some will disintegrerte like they were butter when they come in conact with metal and some lasts 100 times longer. Theres always someone who order some shitty types and they end up in our storage area without knowing who orders which type. And the people in charge of keeping the equipment stocked tends to order the same type they are used to order.
Dont know how many times people have complained to the foreman that we need to get control of what is getting ordered.

Wait for someone to lose a hand or be killed by one of these things.
I actually got a finger stuck in a grinder. One of those thicker ones luckily, instead of chopping the finger off, it jammed and I turned it off. I guess there was no pain becuase I was pretty shocked or horrified.
I also learned that you wont start bleeding right away if you get in conact with those blades(still not sure what they're called in english)
But when it started to bleed it was like a waterfall.
Oh and I tore off a fingernail aswell. Its given me a lot of respect for those tools to be honest, I never considered how dangerous they could be when I first started working.

Theyre the ones who are thr first to do it well and bring it to the main stream.
"Bing Bong Brothers" is clearly a wordplay on "Ying Yang Twins", this should have been the first indication that The Lonely Island version is a parody of 'Whisper'. The song Whisper was released June 28, 2005. The parody was a sketch aired near the end of 2005.
Here's a excerpt from The Lonely Islands wikipage.
By Thanksgiving, the duo felt antsy, and decided to produce a parody of "The Whisper Song" by the Ying Yang Twins as "The Bing Bong Brothers"

I was at a flea market and they had a 12-pack of Sharpie felt markers, various colors, for $1. I couldn't pass that up.
Got home and grabbed one to use it, and the smell made it clear they weren't Sharpie felt markers. I looked at the label again. It was a Sharpei marker.
knock off transofrmers combiners that dont transform and even after taking them apart piece by piece (because they have the screws in the correct places to in theory make the combine work in some way) i found that even if i could make it to robot i could never make to a combination state. in addition the packaging was made without even a company name on it so they could hide the fact that they are selling knock-offs.
id also like to point out that i bought these over the counter at a canadian retail outlet that claims to be some kind of a legitimate buisness
I work at a preowned gamestore and I had a customer bring in a bunch of stuff to sell us. Everything they had seemed real legit except for one ps3 controller they brought; something was just off on the texture of it. While i was cleaning it later upon closer inspection i noticed that it said "Dualshoch 3" on the top of it. It worked perfectly fine but ever since then I'm a little wary of what exactly is brought in. Since that day I've seen at least 3 more of those Hong Kong knockoffs.

Have worked at a hotel in the past, most likely he shared the same first and last name as someone who is blacklisted at the hotel. Guests are usually blacklisted if they were kicked out, caused property damage, smoked in a non-smoking room, or any other reason the hotel management decides. The computer system dosen't always have notes to explain to the front desk associate why the person is blacklisted and usually hotel staff rules only allows management to discuss this level of details with guest. If you want to avoid this hapening, you can always use your first and middle name as a two word first name during booking. As a bonus this First Middle trick helps to keep your tewards programs from getting mixed up with someone else that can cause you to lose out on the points for your hotel stay.

I stayed there once thinking I had booked a Quality Inn, but it just had a big Q on the building. It was the Q inn, same colors, same letter style. Naaasty place at that time.

I think this one is the winner. It's not a real Hampton Inn, they just call themselves a Hampton Inn. I have no idea how they get away calling themselves that, because they're not related at all to Hilton / Hampton Inn. It's also extremely ghetto.

I swear when I stayed there, it was just a big Q outside. Maybe they 'unbranded' for a while before switching to Red Roof?
Or, the La Quinta just plain fell off. Deferred maintenance was the only kind they performed.

As someone who has spent a collective year or so roadtripping around the United States, Motel 6 is my go-to. It may not be the Ritz, but they're pretty damn dependable, cheap, and consistent (except for in Alabama. Good luck finding a non-smoking room anywhere in that state).
Added bonus to motel 6 is that pets stay free!

Yeah I guess it depends on what Fareway you're shopping at, many of them are missing certain products. But the prices are so worth it. I always enjoyed the produce section too, despite the fact that they don't carry much if any organic.

Panburger Partner is one of those things that's just so goddamn funny to me that my brain likes to remind me of it at the most random times. I want to start laughing to myself, but the last thing I want is a co-worker asking 'what's so funny?' because I don't want explain that I'm thinking about Panburger Partner, so I end up contorting my face into an unnatural expression and snorting while I try to stifle my giggling. It's much less weird, I'm sure.

How do you know that Hydrox isn't being looked at retroactively after decades of cleaners with similar names? Perhaps if Hydrox Cookies had been more popular, chemical companies would be afraid of having their cleaning products named after delectable baked goods?

JerikTelorian ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 01:08:20 on December 4, 2015 ยท (Permalink)
The name was picked at a time when purity and freshness was in vogue, so they gave it the name "Hydrox" to sound fresh and pure, like water.
They talk about this in a Planet Money about resurrecting the brand. http://www.npr.org/sections/money/2015/09/18/441546748/episode-652-the-hydrox-resurrection
bobhadababy_itsaboy ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 01:30:16 on December 4, 2015 ยท (Permalink)
The name was intended to sound "pure" by invoking the chemicals hydrogen and oxygen. The harder texture of the cookie and the less sweet, more tangy cream were less desirable than the sugary overload that is the Oreo.

For a time 'Drox' was the name the filling, appearing as an anthropomorphic character, somewhat like a cumulus cloud with eyes and a smile.
The thought being that you twisted the wafers apart, and said Hi, Drox.

Interesting you say that because when they first were made the name was to evoke the thought of water which is associated with smoothness an purity. Part of the reason that Oreo beat out Hydrox is because this shift from sounding like water to sounding like chemicals. So basically your comment proves the point as to why they are not around anymore.

Ahh but after the hyper space wars of 2352, butter was but a dull memory. The shingron race was quick in trying to eliminate humanity's food sources. The engineered virus which attacked cows was especially damaging... an entire species wiped out, and with enough ambient virus in the air that reconstituting them from stored DNA would be a fools game.
Now, I looked down at my toast which had been sitting. The toast tried to transfer it's heat to the hydrogenated mess of yellow colored oils in a futile attempt to melt it, but alas the toast was lukewarm now and the pseudo-butter stayed congealed on the surface of the bread, too hard to spread. This scientifically engineered mixture of unsaturated fats... it was merely memories of butter.

This is a fairly common trick used by supermarkets too
The basic brand sugar is pretty much similar quality to the more expensive stuff they sell.
So how can they provide poor people with it cheaply, whilst still squeezing more profit from wealthier people who wont think twice about paying more?
Easy: just package the basic brand as unattractively as possible.
The poor people don't care, the wealthier people tend to self-select the more expensive product.

When we visited China years ago, my dad was so excited when he found a HUGE box of sharpies at a stationary shop and bought them immediately. Only when we returned to the hotel room later that evening he took a closer look, and saw that it actually said 'skerple'. The cursive lettering made it easy to confuse.

How the hell is there a direct translation for the word "Sharpie"? It's not even a real word?
[deleted] ยท 8 points ยท Posted at 23:09:52 on December 3, 2015 ยท (Permalink)
The Afrikaans word for sharp is skerp. Afrikaans comes from Dutch, where the word is scherp. English, Dutch, and Afrikaans are all Germanic languages.
icemanistheking ยท 3 points ยท Posted at 23:57:19 on December 3, 2015 ยท (Permalink)
I understand that there is a translation for the word sharp. But the "-ie" suffix is used the same? Also, "Sharpie" doesn't actually mean anything, it's just a brand name. And typically brand names aren't translated between countries.
[deleted] ยท 6 points ยท Posted at 00:30:30 on December 4, 2015 ยท (Permalink)
You're right that brand names are not usually translated, and I don't think that's what he was suggesting. Sharpie was the first marker/pen, first marker with a "sharp" point, which is where the word comes from. Sharp in diminutive form. Afrikaans uses the same diminutive forms as English so Skerpie would be the direct translation.

The Skerple is both the best and worst knock off at the same time. Because they use the same font it looks almost exactly the same as Sharpie but they cost half as much and dry out three times as fast.

Oh man, this reminded me of the time I went into a Goodwill and found myself a Power Player Super Joy III. My goodness, is that thing a trainwreck. First off, the console is the controller. It's an N64-style controller that plugs directly into the TV, which doubles as player 1's controller. It gets funnier when you look at the second controller--a Sega Genesis controller that plugs into player 1's controller.
But it gets better. It claims to have over 1,000 games on it. Mine has the same 76 games, listed over and over again, every single one of them misspelled. On the bright side, at least it has one of my all-time favorites, Galaza.

Rossdale's Bush had to rename themselves in Canada due to a 70s Canadian band named bush already being established.
After a couple of years they original Bush allowed Rssdale to remove the X after donating some money to charity.

It is the Canadian version of Bush.
They couldn't use there name as there was a pre-existing 'popular' band named Bush, so they labeled themselves as Bush X on CDs, etc. in Canada. I couldn't tell you if they referred to themselves as that when touring here.

In Chiang Mai, Thailand I stumbled into some sort of market where they were selling basically hand paintings of whatever photo you gave them. They had past work sitting around which looked impressive from a far, but when you got close you could easily see it was just a photoshop filter and then printed on canvas.
Around this market were lots of guys sitting in front of easels, and when you'd walk by they would pretend to paint, but clearly there was no paint on the brush and nothing was actually going on the painting. I really wanted to talk with one of them to see what kind of bullshit they'd feed me, but my friend ushered me out. I just couldn't imagine a tourist being that dumb and buying a fake personal portrait, but I guess there must be tons.
Edit: Found a video! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=NAtxNFdvitE
Of course you can get great paintings in Chiang Mai, but these were clearly fake. All of the paintings they're working on are finished, and they're just using an empty brush.

My husband has a full size movie banner (hung over a balcony) of a Borg ship. I thought it was an amazingly in-focus close-up of a computer chip.
It's been up for 2 years now. It covers part of an enormous blank wall. It fits in the 'better than nothing' category.
He also has a 3 foot tall original acrylic of Captain America in our TV room, and lots of superhero/Star Wars/Star Trek models & figurines all over the house. I'll admit a lot of the Star Wars items are more 'ours' than 'his'.

I think it's a subtle signal of what's really going on there. Remember how he "restored" the painting of Whistler's Mother in the Mr. Bean Movie?
Incidentally, there was a fancy Italian restaurant where I used to live that proudly displayed something very similar near the entrance. It was clearly a photograph of the owner's kids, but someone had brushed over it with clearcoat leaving very visible brushmarks to try to make it look "painted." But they didn't do a very good job. I wonder how much he paid for that, or if he did it himself and just hung it there ironically.

I went to Chiang Mai with a friend and she actually bought a few "hand paintings" of cartoony elephants.

Go to crazyhorse. I looked through his portfolio and his first pictures were shit, but he was in the middle of painting a horse. He was painting the eye when I got there and it was amazing when I arrived the day after. He had spent most of the evening just painting the eye, but was beginning on the nostrils when I came back after maybe 30 minutes. I asked for the price of a few pictures around the area and his were by far the most expensive, but also seemed legit. He had done a smaller version of it at first and I asked to see it and compare, he allowed me to (awesome guy that allowed me to stay and denied my money when I wanted to donate a few dollars, since I wasn't planning on buying anything, but had been there for maybe 20 minutes chatting to him and enjoying his work) and there were small differences in the horse pattern and he had added a eagle feather to the large picture.
The guy was really cool and told me how he loved American Indians and would love to go there one day to see and paint them. Basically everything in his small shop was Indian based. I doubt you could have missed him...

Do they really though? It's all an elaborate act. The people in the video you posted are a bit better at faking than the one I posted, but what they're holding in their hand to go by is literally an exact copy of what they're painting, except the painting is black and white. Only one of those 5 people is working on an unfinished painting, and it literally looks like they just took a digital eraser to a painting in Photoshop and printed it. When painting a portrait you wouldn't paint sections, you'd do the whole thing together - not finish the top of the face completely, then work on the hands or mouth later without atleast outlining or putting a little work into it.

I was in a similar market in Ko Phan Ghan. My girlfriend refused to believe that they were prints until we noticed that of the 30 they had hanging, 5 were definitely real and looked as if a 12 year old painted them. They also had a "half finished" painting sitting on an easel that was brilliantly finished and detailed at the top, and the bottom half was completely blank, without a single pencil mark.

You can meet hotel corporate staff and their secretaries scurrying around to buy things en masse. Really a beautiful place. I usually cheap out of a wedding gift and get a 3'x4' oil painting of the couple for about $100.
Fun fact: It actually costs me more to have it put in a nice frame than it does for the painting since frames are usually refused by customs.

They have this in other parts of Thailand as well. The first time I encountered one of these guys, I thought it was genuine struggling artist trying to make some money. Then, this being thailand, there were about 30 other shops with replicas of the same "paintings" AND a similar looking "artisty" guy sitting and pretending to paint.

Similar thing near Chichen Itza. There are all these 'wood carvers' around the site, selling identical "hand made" items to tourists. They sit there for hours sanding, or poking at one of them, but they never actually make any progress on it.

I've been touring south east Asia for months now. At first I let it slide until I realised how much money these guys were making.
Some were making 3 to 4 times the average monthly wage by scamming tourists.
You can't convert back to your currency, you need to realise the buying power these guys have with their money.
10 bucks to you is nothing but for them it's 5 meals out in a nice restaurant. Again if we scammed a tourist and had enough for 5 meals that's a fair chunk of action.

What's wrong with putting an actual antenna?
All the phones I've had have an FM tuner but it doesn't work unless you plug in the speakers and use them as external antenna. I can see how it makes sense to just come with one.

Also sell phones and when the iPhone came out in the states and wasn't available here in Canada I had quite a few knock offs come in. My favourite by far was the eyephone. The look on people's faces when we explained to them that the reason they got it for so cheap was because it was fake was just priceless.

I have seen all kinds of fake iPhones. One of them was a fake 4S that had an extendable antenna, which was hilarious. I saw a fake 6 Plus that was actually very well made with a decent camera and speed too. Of course, it was just Android internals and the menu was all wrong along with the weight and material feel. Plus, when you go to reset it, the Android boot screen shows up. I think they're a lot less common now that the Chinese government shut down a big manufacturing plant.

Back when Galaxy S2 phones were the latest and greatest, my ex-friend knowingly bought a cheap, shitty knock-off, and I bought the real thing. Every time we hung out she'd compare her phone to mine, and asked why hers had a shitty display / why the colours on her phone were so muted / why her phone was slow etc. Fucking seriously bitch? Coz you paid $120 for it, and I paid about $500 for mine. What did you expect?

I am inordinately fascinated by these things. For a while you could buy them for ridiculously cheap on eBay, like $5 each, and I almost got a bunch as humorous stocking stuffers. Sadly I didn't and the price has since gone up a lot.
Also my friend had to use one of these as his main phone for a while after his RAZR's handset speaker died. It was surprisingly not horrible, other than the interface for getting punctuation marks.

Before we got married, my husband traded a broken tablet for one of these so he thought he came out on top. He called it "MAIIphone" so it sounded like he was saying 'my iPhone" really quickly lmao.
He plugged it into my computer to charge, and 5 minutes later my computer was smoking and died. We opened it up.. power supply was fried and the capacitors on the motherboard were either blown or bulging.
That was the end of MAIIphone, because I threw it out the window.

It's contextually good. The serif is the little fancy dashes on a lot of lettering (like when you write a 1 and it has a horizontal line at the bottom). Sans means without. Comic sans means there's no serif.

Sans, when used describing fonts, is just abbreviated sans serif. The serif is the little fancy bits on letters in fonts like Times New Roman. Comic Sans has no serifs - the Sans shows that.

The name of the font Comic Sans is short for Comic Sans-serif. Sans-serif means 'without serif', serifs being the short stubby marks on the corners and edges of letters on some fonts such as Times New Roman.

It's in reference to a recent indie game called Undertale - one of the characters is named 'Sans', is a comedian of sorts, and one of his lines is in reference to 'a bad time'. It doesn't help he speaks in Comic Sans too.
It's a very good game, don't get me wrong. However, our sub has been leaking recently, and getting karma for screenshots of it. Suffice to say, references abound.

Dr. Thunder is the best fake Dr Pepper by far. Cheerwine is the worst fake Dr Pepper by an even greater margin.
edit: I am being told that Cheerwine is not supposed to be a DP clone. I was told it was "like Dr Pepper" but it is not. But if it isn't supposed to be like DP, then it isn't a failure.
2nd edit: The first time I saw it, I asked the store clerk about it and was told "it is like Dr Pepper". I tried it and found that it is not much at all like Dr Pepper. I though that it was a terrible failure.
Now, I know that know it is not supposed to be like Dr Pepper.

It came in a green can and had a yellow sun with red outlining that was wearing sun glasses. The suns mouth was open as if "hollering". I always wondered if the voice that came from the suns open mouth, if allowed to finally express itself from its soda can label confines, would be louder than my pop-rotted teeth shattering from all the sugar it contained. This question puzzles me still to this day.

Good luck finding the manufacturer of a knockoff. They're probably not in the US, probably not in the Western world, and probably don't even exist as some formal corporate entity. Are you gonna go to China and file a John Doe lawsuit, to try to find the actual manufacturer? Not gonna happen. And even if you could (and just to clarify, you can't), your starting point is a shady street vendor that bought it from some middle-man, who himself bought it from another middle-man. Even if you manage to trace it back a step or two, you're never gonna get to whatever criminal organization is producing the fakes. You live in fantasy land. Caveat emptor isn't the law of the land anymore, but it's still the reality of the world.

I've drove an old mercury grand marquis. It was in the shop last week for a new propeller. Also it comes with several safety features. Among them are air bags, seat belts and life preservers. The speedometer is measured in knots instead of mph. Every two weeks i take it to the car wash. I spend extra for the bug/tar/barnacle remover process. Shall i continue?

I live in an area on the north side of Atlanta where seeing all manner of high end cars on the road is not uncommon. I still do the same thing you do. I rarely pick out the Bentleys until we are right next to each other and I can see the ornaments/badges.
I also spend a fair amount of time in South Korea. You can be driving around Seoul thinking you are seeing BMW's and Mercedes all over the place. I can almost guarantee you that you are looking at a Kia or a Hyundai. Some of their upper end cars look like a BMW from the front and a Mercedes from the rear or vice versa. There is no shame in their game!
owenbegowen ยท 4 points ยท Posted at 23:01:45 on December 3, 2015 ยท (Permalink)*
The Hyundai Genesis looks really good, mostly because it is in the same range as Beamers and Mercedes. I'd honestly take one over a Beamer. And the Kia Optima isn't too bad either. Edit: The Equus is the high end luxury car, not the Genesis. Still, the Genesis is a great car for 40,000 dollars compared to the Equus at 70k.

Oh don't get me wrong! I like their cars just fine. Kia's come a loooooong way since the Sephia. I'd buy one in a heartbeat if it meets my needs at the time and is the right price.
I've driven quite a few of the different models from both makes over the past several years. They all drive great and some of the decked out mid range's have been SUPER nice to drive. I even lucked out one time and got upgraded to the Equus and loved it! Had a great time that trip!

Bogan dickheads do this in Australia. They put Chevrolet badges on Holden Commodores, which are a v6 family car with v8 sports versions. They're usually the same douchebags with stickers like "fuck off we're full", so they're basically announcing themselves as unpleasant people.

Personally I'm a fan of the "rebranding swap", where you, say, put Cadillac Escalade branding on a GMC Yukon. The base vehicle is the same, the only real difference is price tag and some trim.
The funny part is that a lot of times the "working class" brand has better options than the luxury rebranding. The Acura SLX was a rebrand of the Isuzu Trooper, but was only available with the worst engine and automatic transmission. Yet all the branding popped right off an SLX and onto my Isuzu Trooper, even the moulded grille.

Hello Kitly. That is both my reply to you, and my submission. There are these little stores here that are ran by Asians, I'm not entirely sure what you'd call the stores. At any rate, they sell a lot of knock off items. Hello Kitly comes to mind. I can't even see anything hello kitty and not say it "kitly" in my head. It kinda looked like the same little girl cartoon character, they came close on that at least.

You can swap LS motors into them if power is your concern.

There's a reason they've become a clichรฉ though. They're easy, cheap, and provide tons of fun with little fuss. Hard to argue with that. If/when I get around to putting in a new engine in my s13 it'll most likely be an LS for the above mentioned reasons. You've got reliability, power, and it isn't out of this world on the budget or difficulty factor.

Yeah for a sub 3000lbs 2.4L 4 cylinder engine that's pretty atrocious mileage to begin with. I imagine there's probably several LS swaps that would more than triple the horsepower and improve gas mileage simultaneously when your figures at that bad at baseline.

Here is Aus, back while Holdens were still the 100% go-to car (before announcing they're shutting down), they released some versions of Commodore with the Chevvy engine (i don't remember which, don't care much for them). As a result, because of the Chevvy engine, you could get your car with Chevvy badges!
Cue EVERYONE getting Chevvy badges and putting them on their 10-15+ year old Commodores.
Best I saw was Chevvy badges on an Opel Barina (they get rebadged as Holdens here).
My friends want to put one on another friends car because he's putting a 6L V8 in his Mazda RX-7. Don't know how well that'll end up

In SE Asia I saw a Toyota Camry with some fake retro-fitted body of a Mercedes on it i.e. Not even a copy of an actual Mercedes model.
Likewise, once a year Mercedes sends a factory engineer to Cambodia to look at cars and advise the owners what to do. Since 90% of the Mercs have had the engine replaced with a Toyota engine, I'm sure that guy leaves the country in tears.

I guess it's from some alternate timeline where there were more original states, then half a dozen of them left?
[deleted] ยท 17 points ยท Posted at 00:13:46 on December 4, 2015 ยท (Permalink)*
In the beginning, there were 17 states. From South to North: Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York, Msaeahubaets, New Hampshire, Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia. In 1787, during the Constitutional Convention, a dispute broke out between the Southern (Below the NY-PA border) and Northern (Above NY-PA border) states. Southerners were mostly Anti-Federalists, and favored a limited National Government, a Bill of Rights, and more power to the States. The Northerners were mostly Federalists, and favored a strong Federal government, limited state powers, and wanted to abolish slavery. Many compromises were reached, but the Southern Anti-Federalists ultimately won out in 1791, with the passing of the Bill of Rights that they had so hard fought for, and the election of Thomas Jefferson as the second US President, replacing George Washington after only one term. The northerners were pissed, and feared that Jefferson and the new Anti-Federalist congress would limit the power of the Federal Government and the young nation would descend into Anarchy. In 1792, Ontario seceded from the United States, and shortly thereafter, Nova Scotia, New York, New Brunswick, New Hampshire, and Quebec did the same. Msaeachubaets was split on whether or not to secede, and eventually the northern counties formed their own state, called Massachusetts, which then joined seceded states in creating a new nation, called the Unitarian Republic of Canada. Initially the US was hostile to the URC, and threatened war to take back their territory, but in 1795, Jefferson rejected his parties nomination, and Georgia Senator James Gunn was elected to the Presidency. In his Inaugural Address, he pointed out that it would be pointless to go to war against the URC.
-- President James Gunn
Eventually, the two nations agreed to a truce without a single bullet being fired. The nations coexisted peacefully until 1937, when The URC sided with the Axis powers, so 'Murica bombed the shit out of it and gave it to England.
In the 1920's, many Italian immigrants settled in Msaechubaets, hence the Red, White, and Green.

Originally they added a new stripe for every state, but by the time they got to Indiana and Mississippi (States #19 and #20), they realized the flag would eventually get too tall and went back to 13 stripes. There never would've been a flag with 17 stripes or stars though, because after Vermont (#14), states were added in pairs to prevent the South from becoming more powerful than the North and vica versa.

Commonwealth with regards to Pennsylvania, Virginia, Massachusetts, and Kentucky refers to government by consent of the people rather than royal government of the colonies. They have no legal standing AFIK that separates them from the 46 other states.
The Commonwealth of Puerto Rico (and formally the Philippines) also derives its name from the idea of a government by consent of the people but the term commonwealth does not hold any special privileges for Puerto Rico beyond recognizing that it is self-governing, as the term commonwealth was added during the mid-20th century when they elected their first governor.

Why do all shitty shirts shrink to short and wide?
tractorcrusher ยท 27 points ยท Posted at 17:41:06 on December 3, 2015 ยท (Permalink)
I know nothing about this but my guess is the threading pattern isn't optimal or the thread material sucks. When exposed to hot water the length shrinks but the width gets wider. Like if you step on a rubber ball, it becomes less tall but wider.
Just a random guess.

breakingoff ยท 5 points ยท Posted at 08:34:48 on December 4, 2015 ยท (Permalink)
Any woven cloth will stretch more in one direction than the other due to the nature of woven fabric. That is, it generally stretches more along the cross grain. The cross grain runs parallel with the weft threads. The weft being the thread that is woven into the base created by the warp, which is the fixed length of thread attached to the loom prior to weaving. And the most stretch is found along the bias, which is at a 45ยฐ angle from the intersection of warp and weft.
That said, most shirts are cut so the weft runs parallel to the floor when the garment is worn. This gives more stretch around the circumference of the shirt, which is needed more than vertical stretch. After all, the shirt can just slide along your body if it is pulled in the vertical, whereas having no give when trying to fit around something leads to popped seams. Why is there more stretch on the cross grain? Because the weft threads are looser, which allows them to slide along the warp threads more readily.
So, when a manufacturer stretches out a piece of fabric before cutting it, it pulls the wefts away from each other. Considering the weft is, in the base fabric, a continuous strand that has been laid tucked up close against itself... This ends about as well as you'd expect once the garment is washed and allowed to dry on its own without being deliberately shaped. The weft threads want to go back to their 'relaxed' position. The position they were woven into. Thus, the garment shrinks vertically. But all that 'extra' fabric has to go somewhere... so the shirt gets wider.
Knit fabrics like t-shirt material are a bit different structure wise, but end up shrinking similarily. The knit stitch is wider across the front than the back, but longer on the wrong side of the fabric. Which is why a plain stocking stitch scarf will roll into a tube with the knit side facing out. So, when the fabric is washed after being stretched, it relaxes back to its natural state: the front of the fabric is short and wide.
And that is how your shirt ends up short and wide.

it's because the long dimension of the fabric cloth is facing vertically when it's cut to sew into clothing. The fabric shrinks more in one dimension than the other.

Oh my God. You just brought back a terrible memory I hadn't thought about in years. I remember in 5th grade, when the Nike Pumps came out, I bought a pair of off-brand shoes that looked like they had one of the pump things on them. I went through half of 5th grade swearing to my fellow students that the pump actually worked and I could feel it when I "pumped it up". Basically, it was just a piece of rubber in the shape of half an oval on the tongue of the shoe that did nothing but gave the illusion of being a pump.
I actually never got caught in my lie but I always dreaded the day I would finally be called out. Makes me cringe so hard just thinking about it.

God, I can't even think of the brand's name that I had. I remember the "pump" was shaped and felt like a basketball and was more of an oval shape than a circle (like the real pumps). I know for sure that they didn't pump though. Well, not in any relevant way that is. It was more like, I would squeeze them, and the air would go out of the tongue instead of actually tightening the shoes.

He tried to talk me and my two sisters into this stuff. He must of been high as shit because that stuff is awful and it cuts your mouth up like 10 thousand knives.

On a related note, Kroger's off-brand Chex actually tastes better than real Chex, i.e. not cardboard.

All my life I've had this vague memory of a feral, aggressive 50-ft tall mickey mouse tearing up some rooftops.
I assumed I had some fucked-up dream as a kid and this was the memory of it.
But I just checked this "runaway brain" flick and this might have been it
I've always wondered why 10-year old me thought up a scary Mickey Mouse. Now I know.

I remember this too, and just like you, I thought it was just a nightmare or something my mind made up. All I could remember was Micky and Pete swapping brains and that the whole cartoon was disturbing. Then years later I finally decided to google it and low and behold, it was real. Seems like an odd cartoon for Disney to make.

Apparently Red is intentionally meant to be just James Spader if he was in a different line of work. Spader has huge latitude in how he plays scenes and even control over script content. That thing where Red refused to come back to the black site until the mole was found was actually at the insistence of Spader, who pointed out that someone as clever as Red wouldn't go back to a compromised site.

It's not an emulator, it's a knockoff. A lot of companies have made them even when the NES was still in production. They are still made because they are very cheap to produce (the entire system has been reduced to a single chip) and there are many "free" (mostly pirate, but some public domain) games they can put out with them. I don't have this model, but I will bet that it has a cartridge port with which to play famicom games.

I've actually owned "Hi Game 1999 New Turtles". In South East Asia, there used to be an entire industry dedicated to bootleg NES 8 bit games. What the distributors would do is sell cartridges with 1 or 2 big name games like Ninja Turtles or Street Fighter and fill up the rest of the available space with your default games like Joust, Donkey Kong and Battle Tanks, etc. How did they get to 1999 games? Scroll down the list far enough and eventually you'd start seeing bootlegs of the bootlegs. E.g. Joust, with the sprite colors inverted, Donkey Kong that started up from level 10 or whatever, and so on.
Usually the actual game on the sticker was legit. So you'd buy the cartridge for Ninja Turtles and you'd get a ton of crud along with it.
Good times.

It is a complex chemical reaction, Basically BootySex is suggesting we breakdown 6C10H15O7 into C50H10O and 10CH2O, which would also force the atmosphere to change, giving rise to H2 + CH20 + O2 = CO2 + H2O + CO + C. . . That is a highly dangerous process which is known to injure, maim, and kill people every year... I think most areas even have organizations dedicated to ensuring this type of sorcery never gets out of hand.

I've got a quite spectacularly crappy knock-off "Cartier" watch with a lovely portrait of Saddam Hussein's mug on the face of it. I only bought it for the photo, but the tout selling it was more interested in assuring me it was a "genuine fake Cartier watch"
The strap broke years ago, but I'm too embarrassed to take it into a shop to get a new one. It still works. Cartier quality.

Yeah they do the job well enough when it comes to the retro ones we all know like Contra and Mario, not so much for the games they come up with. Usually less than 100 actual games are on the chip, renamed several times on the list to meet the claim of 10,000 games. Cheap plastic controller with extra buttons purely for decoration.

They come with games built in, you can't buy software for them. If you're lucky, it'll be a PS3-mimicking plastic shell around a $5 Chinese NES clone with 101 roms hardcoded in. If you're not lucky, it'll just be one of those old LCD handhelds from the 90s. Yes, even if the console is labeled "PS3".

It depends, some of them are crap with preloaded games, and some of them are pretty cool. There was a PSP or Vita knockoff called the iDroid X360, and it was an Android powered device and truthfully, it made a damned good emulating machine. I also used to have this piece of shit knockoff Sidekick, with a gamepad layout instead of buttons, but it had built in emulators (which worked really freaking well). Used the hell out of that.

Most of these knock off systems have something similar to those old "3000 games!" PC game packs that are absolute shit. I got one once for my mom, because she likes PC games but her system is pretty dated. Half of them couldn't run on anything above XP -_-

TheBoiledHam ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 00:13:33 on December 4, 2015 ยท (Permalink)
There was one that boasted over 40 thousand games or something and it had a bunch of knock offs, reskins of games, reskins of the same games on the device, and then all the games are just repeated a few thousand times so there are basically like 50 or 100. They were all bad, regardless.

They work and every single one of them has pretty much the same games. As others have said, go watch Ashens on YouTube.

So I'm new to this guy Ashen. Is he a big name? Seems entertaining. I mostly watch walkthroughs if I get stuck in a game and I've not watched this guy before but he seems funny
Keinichn ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 13:40:37 on December 4, 2015 ยท (Permalink)*
Ashens is pretty entertaining. He does a variety of stuff. Some days he's reviewing utter shit toys from Poundland, sometimes reviewing old classic stuff, and sometimes eating old/weird food and commenting on it. He actually even has a full-length independent movie he made on his channel you can watch and also has a book coming out.
EDIT: His demographic is also, from what I can tell, non-teens. He doesn't do any of the loud, annoying, over the top stuff like a lot of other folks do. He's more matter-of-fact and almost documentary like. It's something you can put on and relax to, while laughing in parts.

"ICE PRINCESS"
"The Little Cars"
"Kiara The BRAVE"

You just reminded me of a movie I saw as a kid called Olive the Other Reindeer. It was about a dog named Olive that misheard a news report. One of Santa's lead reindeer (I forget which one) was sick or something and couldn't make the run that year. The anchor said that Santa would have to rely on "all of the other reindeer." Olive misheard and thought that the guy said "Olive, the other reindeer." Her friend told her that she was crazy, but she insisted that she needed to go to the North Pole because Santa was calling.
Anyway, the friend sold "genuine" Rolexxx watches. Near the end of the movie, they're flying past Big Ben, and on the face it says "Rolexxx."
I have no idea why I felt the need to say that. I guess I just want someone else to remember that damn movie!

Years ago when my little brother and I were at Fuddruckers we actually won one of those super rigged "stacker" arcade games that always had the coolest prizes. There was I think a $50 Target gift card and a super blatant knockoff iPod Touch, but since the iPod touch knockoff looked more interesting we chose that. Oh my god was that I mistake. Granted, the main reason we chose it was curiosity about how bad it was but I mean it was soooo bad. Plastic screen, unresponsive touch, pre-installed weird unplayable games, a camera that must have come out of a c. 2000 nokia, it was just unbelievable how spot-on the packaging was that was housing this god awful trash. Should have gone with the gift card, 100%.

When I was in High School I played guitar and one day at our State Fair I saw a booth with a ton of really cheap band stickers. I got a TON of them and stuck them all to my guitar case and I thought I was instantly cool. When I get to school on Monday my best friend compliments my bad ass case, but as he is reading one of the stickers he notices something; they are all fakes.
They all had names that were just a little off. 'Dave Matthew Band' 'Jimy Hendrix' 'Lad Zeppelin' 'Smashing Pampkins' etc. So embarrassing.

I saw an "Alembic" guitar in a guitar shop once. For those who aren't familiar, it's a boutique, custom made guitar with exotic woods, excellent build quality. Costs thousands, and some times can take years for an order to be fulfilled. example of a real Alembic.It was clearly a knockoff, and looked like it was built by a teenager in shop class. Parts had fallen off, the paint was shoddy, and nothing worked at all. Price tag: $2,500.

I don't think they really sell it much outside the US. It's a brown soda made with vanilla and other stuff. I'm not really sure how to describe it's taste, it tastes a little bit like Dr. Pepper but not quite and there's a vanilla flavor to it. It tastes sort of dark and rich but not overly sweet.

Autofelaciosaurusrex ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 22:59:06 on December 3, 2015 ยท (Permalink)
No I don't think it is. But it was marketed as 'Root Drink'. I mean there's Barq's Rootbeer and A&W and probably a score of other root beers but they all say Rootbeer. This was just root drink. So, I'm not sure how that works actually? Lol

I've actually thought that before! I mean, it's one of those things that skips your mind because you just get used to it, but yeah, our gas is in gallons, our milk is in gallons, most liquid measurements are gallons but pop sticks to liters. I wonder if there is a legitimate reason for that or if it's just like that because it is?

The one that made me feel the worst was a t-shirt I saw when a friend of mine was first inoculating me to the internet. We were probably 12 and he was showing me a bunch of gory pictures from ogrish and stuff - one of them was a father holding his dead son's body. It was the aftermath of some kind of attack on an African village, one tribe vs the other. I was still pretty young and naive and pretty disgusted by a lot of what I'd seen that afternoon, this image in particular since the kid's brains were hanging out of his head, until I saw the shirt the dad was wearing. It had an Adidas logo on it but it said
ADIBOS
instead. For some reason I started cracking up and couldn't stop myself even though I felt like a total piece of shit for it even then.

Recently I thought I was ordering a pair of hand-crafted Italian leather boots. They were beautiful, but a little pricey. Immediately after my card was charged I received an email receipt from somewhere in China. Tried replying to the email for a few days, asking questions, and got zero response. Started researching a little more in depth and found out they are just a total scam. Called my CC company and they reversed the charge. Many, many weeks later I received a package from China - a soft package, not even a shoe box. It contained the most hideous pair of boots I have ever seen, made of the cheapest cloth one could imagine and apparently put together with a craft glue gun. They are too hideous to even donate to charity; less than Dollar Store quality.

Years ago my family and I went for a holiday in Bali, as was expected we found A LOT of fake stuff and there were entire department stores filled with fake watches, sunglasses and the like.
Towards the back of the shop on one of the shelves was a Tissot watch, upon closer inspection it looked a little scratched and had a bit of weight to it, my dad decided to shell out the $20 bucks to buy it (which was pretty expensive for a fake watch in an asian country).
When we got back home he took it to a couple of our local watch makers who each confirmed that it was probably real and was most likely stolen from a tourist at some point and was sold back to the store thinking it was fake.
And that's the story of how my dad got a 2000 dollar watch for 20 bucks.

I guess this might qualify as "worst knock off," considering that it wasn't a knock off at all?
MeekMarsupial ยท 4 points ยท Posted at 00:32:56 on December 4, 2015 ยท (Permalink)
Whoever was selling the knock-offs wasn't very good at their job because they lost about $1800 in the transaction, so I guess you could say it's the worst knock-off.

The better ones are the kind that say like 2 TB and just have like a 512 MB memory module in it. But they have the firmware on it programmed so when it gets filled it simply starts over from the beginning and rewrites the data over. INFINITE STORAGE

Worst was the 256 gb sticks that said "256 gb" when you plugged them in, but would then just write over themselves after 4gb.

First paragraph on the linked article.
Hari Puttar is a 2008 Indian family drama film[1] directed by Lucky Kohli and Rajesh Bajaj. The film features Sarika, Zain Khan, Swini Khara, Saurabh Shukla, Vijay Raaz, Jackie Shroff and Lilette Dubey in lead roles.[2] It released on 26 September 2008. The film is a loose remake of the 1990 classic, Home Alone.

Not me, but a friend went to China for a couple of months, and told a story about knockoff products.
Said she was approached by a vendor selling "very rare fox pelts" from a strange and unusual breed of fox that only lives in the most remote and dangerous places. And they're treasured for their beautiful fur of many different patterns and colors.
.
They were cats
Not only were they cats, they were really obviously cats. Calico, piebald, siamese - typical cat fur. I have a picture of her wearing a cat pelt, I can't get to it right now (at work) or I'd post it here.

as someone who has done work in anti-counterfeit/brand protection... you could get into big legal trouble for this. that's trademark infringement and you CAN be sued. most companies have teams that patrol websites like eBay to track, report and prosecute counterfeit sellers.
also, if you call the item a "knockoff," (also "replica," "inspired by," etc.) that sets you up for willful infringement and the penalties become even harsher.
I'm more than happy to answer any questions you have. just trying to help!

When beyblades were all the rage my mom bought me a cheap knockoff at a fair. To be fair, I asked her to. I was too young to really understand knockoffs. I just wanted the cool top.
Anyway, I bring it to school and find some kids playing with their beyblades. Excitedly, I ask if I can play. The kids take one look at my cheap toy and laugh, telling me to get lost. I was crushed, never touched my top again. Beyblades left a bad taste in my mouth after that.
That damn top is the worst knockoff I've ever seen.

When Cabbage Patch dolls first came out, I desperately wanted one. Of course, there were NONE to be found. No stores would hold them between the time you called to confirm they had stock and the time it took to drive over.
So my mom, bless her heart, made me one out of pantyhose and stuffing, with the little crinkles where the knees & elbows were.
I remember wanting to bawl, but I think by that age I'd been taught about being polite and when lying is encouraged.
Looked like this:

Back when I was like 8 or 9 visiting family in Mexico my brother and I brought our Beyblades along to play with our friends down the street. We quickly had to buy some knockoffs since to kids there were basically the beaters that everyone used since the "originals" were usually just kept to collect or only brought out when someone else had an original for a "fancier" duel.
Originals were usually twice as expensive or something, or just really hard to find. They also had different sizes and qualities of knockoffs, some basically almost replicating the originals, except they weren't customizable or something. I had a great time those years. And then most of them dropped out of school at around age 15...

I was staring at one in a carpark one day, a shitload of other customisation done on it. The next thing the driver gets out and thinks I'm admiring it. He says something like "are you in love with my whip", really proudly.

I drive a 135i, which is NOT a "1 Series M," and also not an M1. However, it does have the ///M sport package, which means that the steering wheel has ///M branding on it from the factory. It's confusing for people who know a bit about BMWs but aren't up to speed on the nuances.

IMHO it's ok in that case, as long as you don't put a big M back where the model bading is.
Personally, if I'd buy a car with M sport package, I'd take off all the Ms on the outside of the car.

I can't find it online, but years ago there was a stand up comic who did jokes about Oreos and Hydrox. He said his dad was so cheap that he'd skip right past both of those in the cookie aisle, and buy something called "Black Cookies".

While I was deployed to Afghanistan and stationed in a FOB, they had these little stores you could buy knock off items. The ones that I purchased was what we called "Hadji Beats" or in other words Dr. Dre's "Beats". I bought a pair of bluetooth headphones, wire headphones and a bluetooth speaker. The headphones were horrible and the sound quality even worse. The Speaker I still have and use constantly and has turned out to be a good purchase.

Kennedy Fried Chicken. It was a complete knock off of KFC. Looked like they bought out an old KFC store and just left everything except the name. Reminded me of the McDowells in Coming to America.
I just looked it up again and current street view shows that they got rid of the trademarked red and white stripes for straight red and toned it down quite a bit (guessing lawsuit or threat).

95% of Cuban cigars in the US
๐๏ธ deskpalm ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 15:43:33 on December 3, 2015 ยท (Permalink)
I've heard it's even harder to find REAL Cuban cigars in Cuba.
There is a certain look to the box or something?
rabbifuente ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 15:57:25 on December 3, 2015 ยท (Permalink)
There's a number of different factors in determining whether something is fake or not, but some of the easiest are glass top boxes and cellophane, Cuban cigars never have either. Otherwise, looking at the bands and box codes are the best way to determine what's real and what's not. La Casa del Habano is the official Cuban cigar store so if you're traveling and want a Cuban find one of their stores.

rabbifuente ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 17:01:51 on December 3, 2015 ยท (Permalink)
Depends where you go, in places like Canada they are because the taxes are so high, but in Cuba they can be bought pretty reasonably (depending on the brand)
๐๏ธ deskpalm ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 17:03:04 on December 3, 2015 ยท (Permalink)

rabbifuente ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 19:48:09 on December 3, 2015 ยท (Permalink)
Now that the restrictions are loosened it is possible to bring back up to $100 in Cuban tobacco and/or alcohol. That won't get a ton but depending on what cigars you buy it could still be 10-15.
b33r_engineer ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 17:27:55 on December 3, 2015 ยท (Permalink)
Maybe 5-10% more than non-cubans in the US, but a lot of that is local taxes. There are limited edition and regional releases every now and then, those tend to go for a bit more. There are a few places that ship cubans to the US, but they obviously charge more.

I work retail, in a camera department. I see a lot of grey/gray (knock-offs, fell off a truck, refurb, etc) market cameras come back, when people think they are getting a steal by buying a camera for up to $180 cheaper with 10+ accessories (for those who don't know a lot of high-er end items follow UMRP or Unilateral Minimum Resale Price, meaning that in this case Sony sets a price that we don't touch and no other retailer can touch and stay an authorized retailer- that's why bhphoto and such throw accessories at it to sweeten the deal) or from vacation abroad. Sony's mirrorless cameras have been knocked off a lot recently and are pretty successful because most people don't know them well enough yet. A few dead give always are: the Sony logo at the bottom of the flip-up display (knock-offs miss this one for whatever reason), sensor size -just pop the lens off and look- (APS-C is DSLR class and should not look like a 1/2.3" point and shoot class), UI/OS, weight (Sony is light but not that light), build quality, etc. Well someone brought a knock-off in that's AF wasn't functioning. I took a look and immediately it ticked all my boxes. To sell this one as the wort knock off, the UI/OS was literally Nikon's. There was a Sony badge (3d logo) on the back bottom right, and the display was at best 360p. I checked out the rest of the cameras, and it was AA powered... The list goes on. I tried to gently tell the customer what happened, and she actually was pretty cool about it, then she pulled out her "iPhone" to call her husband and let him know.

When I lived in Arizona, I went to a flea market with my friends. We found ourselves at this one stall with all of this imported stuff- including the most bootlegged yugioh cards ever.
The booth owner was such a sweetheart. She let us know that the cards weren't official and were just for fun. We bought a bunch of them and had OP duels the rest of the week. Those knock off decks were awesome and hilarious.

My friend and I were at a knock-off warehouse/bazaar type thing in Beijing. I stuck to hair scrunchies and strange t-shirts (I <3 BJ), but she was trying to get her hands on a cheap digital camera. It was already a little fishy when there was no brand name anywhere on the device, not even a knock-off name. Then, the clerk who was pressuring her to buy it tried to demonstrate how it worked. As soon as it turned it on and the lens piece extended, the word "ERROR" flashed on the screen and it immediately turned off. The clerk just sighed, threw his arms up, and walked off. I guess he realized she was no longer interested...
EDIT: I found a picture of one of the other t-shirts we saw, the photo is terrible, but it says "BOSTON MASSACHUBATTS EST. 1500" http://imgur.com/JUaujAk

About 15 years ago in Jersey a city, near Journal Square, there was a knockoff McDonald's. Other then the name (which I forget) and a single golden arch, it was indistinguishable from the genuine article. I strongly suspect the owner bought the building after McD's vacated it, then just opened a new restaurant there. The menu was basically a ripoff of McD's using standard grocery store ingredients, packed in generic lunch bags. Drink cups were Solo cups. They served Pepsi.

My sister and I went to one of those "used car extravaganzas" where some dealership has a fire sale on all their POS trade-ins. They promise financing for everyone and act like it's a treasure trove of bargains. We get there, and everything is ridiculously overpriced. I was driving a Dodge Neon at the time, and I saw a base model that was at least 3-4 years older than mine (and mine was about 7 years old at that point, and not a base model) that they were selling for $6K. Total scam.
Anyway, I spot a car with a Chevy emblem on the front and Neon headlights, and I'm like, "Well, wait a minute. Chevy made a car using those headlights?" I walk around the car, and it has a Plymouth emblem on the back like it's supposed to, because it's a Plymouth Neon Expresso. Around to the front again--yep, Chevy. OMG. They didn't even check the back of the car to see what brand of hood ornament to put on the front.
I start laughing my ass off, and my sister (trailed by an unctuous salesman in mid-spiel) comes over to see what's so funny. I said, "Look! It's a Neon, but it has a Plymouth ornament in the back and a Chevy ornament in the front! Hahahahah! Can you believe that?" The salesman obviously intuits that he has no shot at a sale and gets salty at me. "Well, did you know that the Neon was a joint effort by Chevy, Dodge and Plymouth, and they each came out with their own version?" To which I said, "No, it was Dodge and Plymouth, not Chevy, and I know that because I own one." The dude just walked off. Good luck selling that Chevy Plymouth Neon.

I'm in Rome, right outside Vatican City. There's a vendor there trying to hawk rosaries to tourists, made of "authentic Murano glass." I look at the guy and ask if they really were from Murano, and he said, "Yes, totally, 15 Euro," or something of the sort. I was feeling cocky and said, "Really? Because they feel like plastic." Which they did. You could even see the seam from the plastic mold on each bead.
A few days previously we'd just come from Venice and a private tour of the Murano glass-making facilities. We'd had it explained to us that the facility is the only place on earth that can make Murano glass (as it is the island of Murano), and that any piece that leaves that facility is authenticated by the Venetian Chamber of Commerce.
So, needless to say, I was a bit skeptical of the vendor outside Vatican City.

I've worked at two jobs related to musical instruments, and the sheer number of parents who get duped into buying crappy, knock-off brands for band instruments and then wonder why they can't get fixed when they inevitably break is astonishing.
Case in point: a cheap, sparkle-finish violin bought off of Amazon. When you put the bridge where the bridge is supposed to go, the strings lay flat against the fingerboard.
Second case: one of my friends bought a cheap pocket trumpet off of Amazon, thinking that as long as it played, it would be fine. Right out of the box, the valves wouldn't move. The metal was so cheap that trying to push the valves with any force at all actually made them bend.

There was a Chinese salesman at a flea market, selling many Chinese things. Many of them definite knockoffs. They were designed to look exactly like a name brand thing, but you have to look closer to tell they were knock offs. One of which were batteries, designed to look exactly like duracells, but had "JiangLing" or the like printed on them.
My favorite one was a package of markers. You REALLY had to look hard, but the cursive writing on them spelled "Shoupie" instead of Sharpie. It was incredibly hard to tell by looking at them. It was easy to tell by using them.

A friend brought back a number of fake, cheap Rolex watches from a China trip about 10 years ago. He was handing them out as a joke, but the watches were surprisingly good. I expected it to last a week or so, but mine was reasonably waterproof (wore it to the beach) and had a good sweeping auto-wind movement.
About a month later the glow-in-the-dark markings inside the watch started falling off and rattling around under the crystal. I remember thinking how ridiculous it was that the overall watch and movement were so good but they used crappy glue or something.

Back in the 80's, 90's, etc., there were two very big names in car audio - Kenwood and Rockford Fosgate. At the local swapmeet, the car stereo guys would sell cheep knock-offs called Kenford and Rockwood. I guess that is what happens when those to big brands have babies.

I grew up near a place called Rockwood Manor. This name brand sounds like it was a 5-fingered discount directly from someone's car in our neighborhood.

Not the brand, but how people sell knock offs so what I think is too funny.
Went to the swap meet, dude is selling sunglasses - I ask how much the Spy's are and he says "Oh these, these are $170".
I was like "Uh huh, no. I'm not paying that much for glasses at a swap meet, I was thinking like $10."
He says, "Oh! You wanted knockoffs why didn't you say so? Let me get some for you."
He then takes the box with the $170 "real" Spy's, squats down behind the table out of sight, fake rummages around for 5 seconds like he's looking for something, and emerges with what I am quite positive was the exact same box and glasses he just took off the table, and he like "Here ya go, found a pair! 10 bucks."

I studied in Hong Kong one summer in college and did an internship. My then boss forced me to come with her to a counterfeit mall in the mainland one Saturday. It's exactly what it sounds like: everything sold there was counterfeit. 2 of the worst things I saw:
1) Golf balls. As a white American dude, every random seller that saw me tried to run up to me and sell me counterfeit golf balls. What's funny about them is that they were usually such bad quality that they could break apart, even turn into a puff of dust, upon hitting them with your golf club (almost bought as a gag gift)
2) Eggs. I shit you not, in 2005 counterfeit eggs were common enough that there were warning signs from the government everywhere not to buy them. I have no idea what they were made of, but I made sure to stay away from anything egg related for the day.

It was something like that. I think we got an ad in the mail and I noticed it was a knockoff but only had $20 for speakers so I gambled and they worked fine for the money.

South east asia. Retail computer game/ video stores with rows and rows of pirated disks. Covers were random, screenshots from unrelated games, varied from box to box. FF7 had boxes that made it look like a fps, rts, driving game, anything but a RPG.

Carbon Fiber bike parts on AliBabba.
Literally all of it is asian-made knockoffs. Even the branded stuff that looks legit (but at 1/2 to 1/10th the price) is counterfeit.
As good as it looks, they don't do any of the QC or engineering the real companies do, just make something the same shape and size.
It's one thing for knockoffs to be ugly or wrong, it's another for them to look right and actually be dangerous to use. Real CF is stronger than the traditional alloy parts, and if you expect this stuff to perform even as well as the alloy, you're going to faceplant when it snaps.

The skerple.
Bought a 10 pack of sharpies at a great price, but then they wouldn't write after the first use. We were super confused until we looked closely and saw that they weren't sharpies, they were skerple with just the right font so that they looked like they said sharpie on the side.
It was fucking clever.

I respect your opinion too. I just know A LOT of people that REALLY liked them before Dark Horse. After that, it was like the internet ERUPTED in Nickelback hate and I never understood why.
Sure, if you base it on quality of music, it just wasn't there after Dark Horse. But they turned into a party band, which is what they were going for. They started to get away from the deep thought of music and were just having fun. Kinda like Metallica with the Garage Days album. I HATED Metallica for doing that album, now it is one of my favorites, LOL.

The dollar store by my old house sold knock-off Sharpie markers. The most memorable brand names were "Shoupie" and "Skerple." They were the worst markers in the universe. They were already dried out when you opened the package, and the ink/end would just push up into the marker if you pressed them to paper.
We still laugh at those stupid names, though.

At first, I was floored by the cheapness of a personal gaming system I got in Iraq. It looks like a PSP but just has generic arcade games on it. It's really just a piece of crap that cost me $10 and made some kid really happy when I took it off him.
That was 9 years ago. I still have it and I still play with it when I get bored. It's in my car for heavy traffic days.
So, it's the worst, but I love it.

This was a few years ago, back in the burbs of North-West Chicago. I forget the name of the store, but they sold knock-off stereo equipment that had logos and fonts similar to the real brands...but if you read closely, they would be "Panasoanic" or "Sonyy" or something else that on a fast glance, would seem like a real brand. If you ask, they would say in a heavy accent "no no, it's same. Same insides. Just like Sony. Is same. Is good. You buy?" I swear, it was like out of some bad comedy sketch if I hadn't experienced it first hand.
If anyone remembers the area about 15 years ago, it was up by Heavenly Bodies

When I was in middle school, my friend REALLY wanted one of the "NO FEAR" shirts all the kids in our class were wearing, but his mom was poor and did all her shopping at Goodwill, so was apparently limited. One day I was at his house when his mom came in super proud of herself and tossed on the ground a t-shirt for him. He was excited for about 2 seconds until he realized it was a "NO FAIR" shirt, with a quote on the back that was some bratty princess kind of line. So where "NO FEAR" shirts would say "Hold my trophy while I kiss your girlfriend", this one said something like "Credit card's maxed out and I'm only at the 2nd shop in the mall."
He was pretty disappointed, but I think he was used to that since he was poor and got over it quickly.

I have a friend who is cheap ... super cheap. She primarily shops at off brand dollar stores.
She bought an "electric razor" to shave the mustache off her face. Not kidding. Anyway, this thing looked like an inexpensive yellow/orange single blade Bic razor and had a double A battery attached to the end of it.
My husband and I laughed about it for years. The last thing I want anywhere near me is a Bic razor with a battery on it. It seems like it would vibrate all over your face if you tried to shave with it and you'd end up with a face full of cuts.

Growing up in the American southwest, I thought that Taco Bell was about as gringo as you could get. Then I moved to Seattle. There is a regional chain called Taco Time. They were selling Ore-Ida(tm) TaterTots(tm) under the name "Mexi-Fries." Let that sink in. Potatoes from Oregon and Idaho, sold as if millions of Mexicans had reinvented mini-bite-sized hash-browned potatoes centuries ago, hauled across the desert to share their cultural home cuisine with the people of the Pacific Northwest.

I was once in line a local store that sold salvage-type stuff everything from clothes to furniture - whatever. The guy behind me in had cotton swabs in his hand, I looked closely and they were O-tips, not Q-tips. Made me giggle and shiver at the same time.

I'm going completely off of memory and stories I've been told but, I remember hearing about something called the Suny Gamestation that a lot of grandmothers bought for their grandchildren with the best of intentions, only for their grandchildren to be massively disappointed when they realized it wasn't a real Playstation and didn't even play discs. It was limited to like the 30 or so Atari-quality games that came hard coded on the thing. I can only imagine the looks of disappointment on the kids faces who received one of these things and the sadness the grandparents must have felt when they realized they goofed.

When the Wii came out I must have been 11 or so, and I asked for it for Christmas. What I got instead was the biggest heap of shite I ever saw. It was called the "Xii" and it came preloaded with 100 games, each and every one of them utter shite. My parents both agreed that it was a steaming pile of pig droppings and returned it and got their โฌ50 back. That was a sad Christmas.

In London (South specifically) there is a wonderful, scrum-diddly-umptious chain of chicken shops called Morleys. Although I'm afraid only 50% of that statement is true. They are most definitely shops, but there's absolutely no way I can guarantee any authentic chicken content in what they offer. Anyway, despite their consumables being somewhat...analogue let's say, Morley's seem to have become enshrined in the chicken shop community, and various venture capitalists have taken sophisticated inspiration from the brand to create their very own unique take on delicious prosthetic dinners
Ah, the iconic red and white decor, beaming out at us, drawing us toward, akin to a delicious safe haven that we all eventually orbit every other thursday night on the way back from work drinks. Everything will be alright after a Morleys. After all, '...It tastes better'. Better than real chicken? I doubt it.
First up in our list of inspired fried rat retailer replicas we have, of course, the pride of Deptford, 'Mowley'. Frequented undoubtedly by GCSE bunkers and relapsed chicken addicts, you might think it reminiscent of Morleys, but it just doesn't '..taste better'. I'd recommend not tasting it at all
Blazing in at 2nd place, I give you Nunhead's own, 'Monleys' ('Local', of course). Never been in, it's 5 minutes from my house. I should really go, but I choose life instead
Numero tres - now this I love. I just wish it was called MerliN or something. Either way, great effort. This place is situated on the opposite side of the Chernobyl-esque Aylesbury estate to where I live. If I ever decide to try and make it through there alive, I just hope the pilgrimage is worthwhile. I wonder if I'll ever find out if '...it's real tasty'. One day I'll start a blog about it. 'Merlie', ladies and gents
Now for the two that didn't make the official list, purely due to poor effort and lack of authenticity -
Morlys what the fuck is this, man? You can't just remove a letter and rip the whole franchise off, after all they've done for the fried rodent community! And that fucking tagline! Ha! It may aswell say 'I better not be able to taste this'
Lastly, because they just missed the point entirely, McNeil's or is it MC Neil's? Do they chuck in his mixtape when you cop a junior spesh?
Anyway, thankyou for joining me on my voyage through London's visionary institutions of imitation poultry goodness. Hopefully see some of you at Mowleys in about half an hour

I love seeing Chrysler Crossfires where people replace the badges to make it look like a Mercedes. I see them a lot in California, for whatever reason. Technically Mercedes did help develop them, but it's kinda fucking stupid in my opinion. Also illegal.

GoPro had a competitor last year called Ion. The Wi-Fi is built in, the camera was barrel-shaped, and the video quality is comparable to GoPro. My Walmart got stuck with a considerable number of them after Black Friday last year. They sat in the store room for a while, before someone got tired of tripping over them and priced them to 1/4 orirginal cost at $35 apiece... a $58 loss per unit.
We still sell a knock off version of the Ion camera, for $55.

So many fake wedding gowns. - ladies no groom wants to see you in a cheap knock off!! Visit a local boutique there are always sales..
Bridesmaid dresses too... so cheap you cant decide what is going to go up in flames first, their hair because of hairspray or the fabric.
The bad fitting for both just makes me shudder...

A Gibson Les Paul Custom that somebody tried to part-ex at a shop I used to work at. The thing was just totally wrong. He was adamant that he paid ยฃ2500 or whatever but was desperate for a Les Paul Standard (a slightly lower-end variant of the model).
The first thing that caught my eye was the fact it was noticably mis-shaped around the body. The neck was huge in the higher registers near the body and seemed to taper off to a really thin shape in the lower end. The headstock shape was fine (which is why the body seemed weird) but once you got into the logo shape, truss rod cover, the fact that the truss rod cover didn't actually cover a truss rod adjustment nut and the adjuster was actually underneath the neck pickup, the fact that the pickups had Made In China stickers on the bottom, the fact that the low e string wouldn't stay on the fretboard as the bridge had been drilled too far over, it was pretty obvious the guy was a scammer.
When we rejected his amazing "plays like butter" instrument and told him we would give him ยฃ30 for comic value to hang outside the shop for people to throw things at, he got mad and told us we didn't know what we were talking about, he was an amazing touring musician and he would tell all his fans not to shop with us.
Amazingly we lost no sales, though I would have liked to have heard what he said at his next Wembley gig. Or ever heard of him at all for that matter.
I saw the same guitar advertised for sale locally for a few weeks. I reckon either some poor sap got stiched up with it, or he cut his losses and grew up.

Little late, but I remember when I was about 10 years old, I went camping with my parents. There was some sort of fair going on at the campgrounds, and we saw a T-shirt booth, selling what we thought were Nike shirts. We thought the prices were awesome, and being the 1990's, Nike was a huge brand, so like my whole family got themselves a shirt. Several days later, upon further inspection, we realized we had bought knockoff NK Air shirts. It's still a running joke between my brothers and I to this day. Whenever I see Nike brands, I think "NK" instead.

My personal favourite is a pair of Adidas trainers (sneakers?) i saw in a shop once but they had the letters jumbled a bit so they were actually selling Aidads. Not quite what I need on my feet.

A friend of mine and I kept promising ourselves that we would have a knock-off movie marathon, courtesy of our local mom and pop movie rental store. What was on our list? The classics. "Transmorphers", "Snakes on a Train", "I am Omega", things in that area.

The worst in terms of branding had to be a cereal called "Corn Flavored Hexagons." It was like the store-brand version of Chex (little, crunchy corn cereal squares). You figure that if they'd bother doing something like adding two sides, they would at least think of a better name. But no... they didn't. And that's okay, because it gives me something to laugh about 10 years later. My only regret is that I never bought any. Sigh.

I'm on the fence as to whether this counts as a knock off or just a scam, but it's too entertaining not to share.
In 2011 a woman from South Carolina reported to police that she had purchased an iPad from two men in a McDonald's parking lot. The men claimed to have bought a ton in bulk and were offering her the iPad at a discount. She forks over $180 (discounted from the asking price of $300) and they hand her a FedEx box from the trunk of their car. When she gets home, she opens the box and instead of an iPad there is a block of wood - painted black with the apple logo on one side and complete with fake app icons on the other.

Of course, sometimes my mind will be stuck in pre-smartphone mode, and when I see something awesome, I'll think, "And me without my camera." But then my brain will reboot itself, realize it's 2015, and I have an iPhone now. Whip that bad boy out and fire away!

Fake North Face jacket and Denali fleece. They came as a set that snapped together, which was nice. However, despite the jacket having a Gore-Tex logo on it, it would instantly absorb water and soak through. The fleece had shiny nylon on the shoulder and sleeve reinforcements and pilled after just a few wears. I called it North Fake.

Went to a flea market with my parents and see some Sharpies for sale. I think "Hell yeah! 10 sharpies for $2, that's a steal!" But my mom warns me and says everything at flea markets are knock offs, not worth the risk. But I didn't listen and bought them anyways. Got home, opened em up, and not one of them worked. Upon closer inspection they weren't Sharpies, but Skarpies.

Hey man, it's ok to be bad at video games. Don't let that bring you down. Branding games as p2w is just an excuse to justify your lack of ability. It's not your fault.

It's not coded in Flash and has pretty decent code. It is a very well optimized game.

You can try but if you have no knowledge of their shitty spaghetti code you can't come and defend it.. I mean how many bugs happend just this month? Wards being moved by creeps.. being able to block creeps when there is no such a thing as blocking in the game.. like wtf
Also you know a game isn't optimized because it can run on a shitty computer when it's a low quality shitty game..
GavinET ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 02:38:38 on December 4, 2015 ยท (Permalink)
It's actually got quite nice looking graphics and will run on 99% of PCs that are capable of watching HD video. I'm not a League fanboy, I don't play it all that much, but I can recognize that it's a well optimized game. You just seem like a disgruntled player that needs a break.

I played "Mario World" for sega genesis yesterday. You had to throw boxes at the enemies to kill them, and had a health bar. You also started with some ki blast from Dragon Ball which is your primary attack, until you get hit once and lose it. If you tried jumping on an enemy you lost life, and it was just fucking awful.

I was raised in Abu Dhabi, in the United Arab Emirates- I was 16 the first time I had sex- really awesome Canadian girl. My parents were out of town and she was over fooling around. She was actually the one that suggested that we do the deed. So naturally, I was totally psyched-- except I didn't have a condom.
So here I am sprinting 2 blocks from our villa to the closest bodega, we called them the paki stores, to get some rubbers. Unfortunately these shops are known for carrying knockoff everything, even condoms. I ended up with "surex". No shit.
We do the dirty, and as you could have guessed, this condom probably only lasted a few awkward thrusts. After coming, I pull out to find this piece of shit condom in shreds-
Long story short we were freaked out but thank god she wasn't pregnant.
Moral of the story- splurge for Durex.

Sometimes in China you find a really sweet ass men's jacket. It's like where all these variables combined and a foreign maker ordered a first round and the manufacturer churned out an extra thousand using materials they over-quoted as necessary to the client, but then on the back is the cursive "Barbie" logo. There's so much of this stuff, and eventually these people are going to be able to read what they're fucking wearing. It's going to be like the myth of Adam and Eve suddenly feeling shame. And it's going to make islands of poka-dotted polos and mercedes-branded shoes and playboy-branded-LV-pattern purses that are going to form into huge polyester continents that Asia wars over.

"Treet" which is knock off spam.
Edit: why isn't it "Treat" if it has meat in it? I mean, really. At least that appears to have a portion of the actual word in the name. "Treet" sounds like a plant-based product, clearly.
Double edit: an advertisement for it!

The pre-release version of the iPhone that some of the press played with was nothing short of the AK-47 of cell phones.
It was virtually indestructible.
Key scratches on screen? Practically bullet proof glass. Dropped from head height on a corner onto concrete? Bitch please... that's a scratch on the polished finish.
Then they released the mass produced version. wtf...

Dunno if they are strictly speaking the worst knock off items I've seen, but back in september, I was in Greece. Crete, Heraklion, to be precise. There was this souvenir shop selling the usual tourist-y crap, and then there was the perfume selection. All big brand names, only prices ranged from โฌ3 to โฌ9.
Just for kicks, we bought a few, and some of them actually did smell like the original, but they only lasted like 30 mins before wearing off.

I remember when I was in Kosovo with the army. We used to have a wireless internet connection that was provided by a local company in the town of Mitrovica. They had an internet cafรฉ as well and the place was called "Mitrosoft", written using the same font as Microsoft. They were actually very nice, but the internet connection was terrible. Most of the time it didn't work. Sometimes it did work wonderfully, though. Ah well, there was loads of knock off shops in the city and everywhere you saw bootleg CDs and DVDs. They even had large banners across the main streets etc. It was simply tolerated by the police.

Well, these knockoff off-brand cheap (4 for $35) GameCube controllers are pretty bad. If nothing else, the Control Stick starts to break extremely quickly in that it won't "stick" back on the neutral position and I was wobble it around a decent amount and still be staying in a total dead zone now. There might be other things too, but I don't have the reference of a real controller to check against.

Air Jordan basketball sneakers from the Philippines. Instead of the silhouette of Jordan dunking it was some dude doing a lay up. I bought them immediately thinking it was a special edition. I don't think my 10 year old self appreciated the irony as much as I do now.

In Aomori prefecture, Japan, there is no 7-11 (one of only two prefectures in the country without them. BTW 7-11 is a Japanese company now).
Instead, they have the most blatant knock-off chain ever, 5-11.

My Folex. I got it somewhere in the Caribbean and the insides are still labeled from the cheap Chinese brand they gutted to make it. Major problem is it weights 1/100th of what a real rolex weighs. I do have to say it's 8 years old and keeps running with the occasional battery change.

I love bags. There's this lady who comes into my store every day with an awful fake Chanel. The inside is all fucked up and the stitching is botched on the outside. Once I said to her "oh my god!! Is that a Chanel? I love it! It's so classic!!" and she was like "thanks :) my husband bought it for me!" Wow really? Your husband is an asshole
cyclonewolf ยท 6 points ยท Posted at 22:18:12 on December 3, 2015 ยท (Permalink)
If she likes it what does it matter? That seems a little mean to me. If they can't afford a real chanel purse then who cares? That doesn't automatically make her husband an asshole, you don't know if he was unaware, or they both already know. Just because he didn't pay hundreds of dollars for a purse...
It would have been a better story if you stopped after the third sentence
bjorkstar ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 04:14:20 on December 4, 2015 ยท (Permalink)
If you can't afford to carry a real one, I don't really understand what having a terrible looking knock off would do that a bag from a different mark at a different price point wouldn't do better. Rebecca Minkoff for example makes incredible quality bags, many with an extremely similar look but with enough difference that a noticing eye wouldn't look and think, "oh that's a fake Chanel" but maybe "what a beautiful bag!" I think her husband is an asshole because whether or not she realizes it's not genuine, he is inviting judgement (from people like me who notice! Woops!). The way certain knock-offs are priced, a good fake Chanel might be a couple hundred dollars or more. A real one is in the thousands, and a poor fake with real leather might be ~100-150. I'm going to judge because if I have spent a lot of money on something I love and see somebody else trying to pass off their fake as something real, it's dishonest and it bothers me.

Or... maybe her husband knows even less about designer bags than she does. I could not for my life tell the difference between an authentic designer handbag and a knockoff. I think most men are in the same boat.

I dont exactly know what you call it in english, but the plate/blades you use on hand held grinders to cut with. There are some many shitty ones that have come and gone where I work, some will disintegrerte like they were butter when they come in conact with metal and some lasts 100 times longer. Theres always someone who order some shitty types and they end up in our storage area without knowing who orders which type. And the people in charge of keeping the equipment stocked tends to order the same type they are used to order. Dont know how many times people have complained to the foreman that we need to get control of what is getting ordered.

I actually got a finger stuck in a grinder. One of those thicker ones luckily, instead of chopping the finger off, it jammed and I turned it off. I guess there was no pain becuase I was pretty shocked or horrified. I also learned that you wont start bleeding right away if you get in conact with those blades(still not sure what they're called in english) But when it started to bleed it was like a waterfall. Oh and I tore off a fingernail aswell. Its given me a lot of respect for those tools to be honest, I never considered how dangerous they could be when I first started working.

I bought a custom nWo shirt off ebay for 10 bucks but they lettering came off after one wash. Super sads.
But then the WWE started selling the shirts again for some reason...I can't remember why. I can't remember when either, I think it was for some nWo anniversary thing or a DVD or whatever, I don't know, but I finally got my hands on a legit nWo shirt. Too bad the black's kind of faded off the shirt.

"Bing Bong Brothers" is clearly a wordplay on "Ying Yang Twins", this should have been the first indication that The Lonely Island version is a parody of 'Whisper'. The song Whisper was released June 28, 2005. The parody was a sketch aired near the end of 2005.
Here's a excerpt from The Lonely Islands wikipage.

I work at a preowned gamestore and I had a customer bring in a bunch of stuff to sell us. Everything they had seemed real legit except for one ps3 controller they brought; something was just off on the texture of it. While i was cleaning it later upon closer inspection i noticed that it said "Dualshoch 3" on the top of it. It worked perfectly fine but ever since then I'm a little wary of what exactly is brought in. Since that day I've seen at least 3 more of those Hong Kong knockoffs.
