他們這次有很多很瘋狂的內容

So here we go!

就讓我們開始吧

10 - SpongeBob. The person that purchased this popsicle was probably

第10名：海綿寶寶。販賣這支冰棒的人

expecting a nice little ice cream version of everybody’s favourite sea character:

大概在期待可以呈現大家最喜歡的深海卡通角色：

Spongebob Squarepants. • Instead what they got was a horrifying

海綿寶寶。 不過取而代之的他們找到的卻是

corpse of a deranged zombie popsicle. It looks he has been impaled on that stick and his

像是發瘋殭屍一樣的可怕冰棒。看起來好像他被一根木棒穿過

eyes look like they’ve exploded. I wonder if the factory made him this way or he melted

他的眼睛就好像要爆炸一樣。我在想到底是工廠製造的時候原本就是這樣，

into a corpse on the way to the store. The worst bit is that haunting toothy smile,

還是他在送到商店的途中溶化成這樣。最可怕的是他的那個露齒笑

which says ‘hey kid I might just eat your soul while you sleep.'

好像在說：嗨孩子們，在你睡覺的時候我會去吃掉你的靈魂呦！

I don't really have a good Spongebob square pants impression

我不太會模仿海綿寶寶啦

But I think I got his laugh. Here, check this out: Heeee.

但我想我懂他怎麼笑的。看吧：嘿嘿嘿嘿嘿嘿

Oh man. That shit makes my head hurt. Man, isn't it annoying?

天啊，這個爛東西真的讓我很頭痛，真的很煩人欸

9 –BioSlim • What’s worse than false advertising

第九名：瘦身霜。最糟個失敗廣告

is when people are stupid enough to believe it in the first place.

是當人們笨到一開始就去相信廣告說的一切

• In 2001, Nivea brought out a cosmetic cream called BioSlim that claimed it could

在2001年，妮維雅推出一款叫做「瘦身霜」的產品，宣稱這個產品

literally make you lose weight by applying it to your skin regularly. I’m no scientist

可以單純靠塗抹產品達成減重的效果。我不是科學家啦

but rubbing cream into your ass to lose weight seems about as sensible as putting peanut

但在你的屁股上塗一些乳霜就能減肥這種事情，聽起來就跟把花生醬

butter in your coffee to cure baldness. • Nivea was forced to take the product off

加到咖啡裡就可以治療光頭一樣蠢。妮維雅被迫要下架這個商品

the shelf and pay over $900,000 to the gullible people who bought the product.

並且還要賠償超過九十萬美元給這些受騙的使用者

8 – Pepperoni Pizza • Imagine walking into your local supermarket

第八名：臘腸披薩。你想像當你走進一間超市

with a hankering for some tasty meaty pizza only to come across this sorry excuse for a snack.

並且非常渴望吃一些充滿肉香的披薩，但卻遇到這種令人不爽的情況

The label claims that it’s a pepperoni pizza -

這個商品標示這是一個臘腸披薩

but inside the packaging is one single lonely slice of pepperoni on an 8 inch pizza base.

但裡面這個八寸大的披薩卻只有單單一片臘腸

I guess in all technicality they aren’t lying but it’s just not acceptable.

技術上來說他們是沒有說謊啦，但這就是無法被接受啊！

• What were the chefs even thinking? Is there some sort of critical worldwide pepperoni shortage

這些廚師到底在想什麼？現在是世界上有什麼超嚴重的臘腸短缺危機

that I wasn’t aware of? How are you gonna be single slice pepperoni?

我卻不知道嗎？短缺到一整片披薩上只有單單一片臘腸？

I heard of a single slice Pringle, but not a single slice pepperoni!

我是有聽說過一片品客洋芋片啦，但是就是沒有聽過一片臘腸！

7 – Classmates Reunion • A website claiming to reunite old school friends was sued when it turned out that

第七名：同學會。有一個網站宣稱他們可以幫你召集舊的同學，之後被控告，原因是

they were promising to reunite people who didn’t even exist.

他們承諾幫你召集根本不存在的同學

• Classmates.com told their users that if they paid for a membership upgrade

Classmates.com 告訴他們的使用者，如果他們付升級會員費，

they would be reconnected with all their best buddies from their childhood. Turns out it was just a big lie,

他們就可以重新跟他們童年的超好朋友團聚。結果最後證明完全是個天大的謊

and the website was forced to refund their disappointed customers’ money.

並且之後這個網站被迫要退費給這些失望的顧客

• It just goes to show that people are deceiving and the world is a terrible place sometimes

這件事情告訴我們，人們愛欺騙並且這個世界有時候可以是一個很糟糕的地方

6 – Rice Krispies • Parents love to give their kids healthy snacks,

第六名：脆米花。父母都會想要給孩子健康的點心

so why wouldn’t they believe that a bowl of cereal can drastically improve their immune systems.

所以沒理由他們不會相信，一碗麥片就可以徹徹底底的改善孩子的免疫系統。

In 2010, Kellogg’s started advertising

在 2010 年，家樂事開始廣告主打

that their Rice Krispies cereal had the ability to improve the immune systems of kids and

他們的脆米花麥片可以改善小孩的免疫系統

give them 25% of their daily vitamin needs. The Federal Trade Commission said that this

並且給他們 25% 的每日所需維他命。聯邦貿易委員會表示

claim was pretty ‘dubious’ and told Kellogg’s to knock it off.

這樣的的聲稱十分「值得懷疑」，並且告訴家樂事停止這樣的宣傳

• Next they’ll be telling us that the puffed rice does not in fact snap, crackle

接下來他們就會告訴我們這些膨脹的米製品製作過程並沒有膨脹、爆裂

OR pop. Liars.

或是像爆米花一樣爆，一堆騙子

5 - Pretzels • This machine has a notice that is telling some straight up fast food lies.

第五名：椒鹽卷餅。這個機器直接的告訴我們最快的謊言

• One can see that the oven in question is jam-packed with freshly cooked, delicious looking pretzels.

任何人都可以看出在這個烤箱塞滿剛剛烤好、看起來新鮮美味的椒鹽卷餅

Yet the deceiving sign on the front of the machine claims that they

但這個愛騙人的告示牌卻宣稱

are ‘Out of Pretzels’. If those bendy pastries are not pretzels, than what exactly are they?

「椒鹽卷餅已完售」。如果柔軟美味的點心不是椒鹽卷餅，那這些東西到底是什麼？

Figments of my imagination? Or is the poster being more esoteric – is it suggesting

我想像裡虛構的喔？還是這個海報其實超級神秘：他是在表示

that it is on the outside of the machine, like out of *range* of pretzels.

椒鹽卷餅在「烤箱之外」，就好像不再「範圍」內？

• Either way, ‘Sorry for the inconvenience’ is just not good enough.

不管如何「不好意思造成您的不便」就是不夠！

I want my damned pretzel.

我就是想要我的椒鹽卷餅！

4 – Easter Pope • Nothing makes me angrier than when I buy a chocolate resembling the Pope,

第四名：復活節教皇。這怎麼能不讓人生氣呢，當我買了一個羅馬教皇造型的巧克力

only to find dairy-based lies under the wrapper. • The company that produced this chocolate treat

卻發現包裝下面是兔子的造型。這間生產這個巧克力的公司

must’ve thought they were being pretty clever when they used their leftover Easter bunny designs

一定覺得自己超聰明，想到用復活節剩下的兔子造型巧克力

to sell their new season Pope-themed chocolates.

來販售新的一季的羅馬教皇主題巧克力

Not that I'm much of a fan chocolate anyways

反正我不是巧克力迷啦

3 – Berry Loaf • Here’s another example of a company

第三名：莓果吐司。這又是另外一個案例，

giving absolutely zero fucks about what you want.

另外一個公司根本不在乎顧客到底想要什麼的案例

• This bakery is offering a ‘berry loaf’ which seems to be just that - a loaf of bread

這間麵包坊販售「莓果吐司」，看起像是一整條吐司裡面

with one berry. How generous of them to create such a flavour-filled treat. The advertisement

只有一顆莓果。他們做出這麼「填料豐富」的吐司還是慷慨。

next to it clearly promises at least a dozen. • Maybe the pizza chef and this baker are

這個廣告上面的圖片明明就看起來至少有一打啊。或許剛剛提到的那個披薩廚師跟這個烘焙師

the same guy, ruining people’s lives one shitty baked good at a time.

是同一個人，用超級糟糕的食物來毀掉我們人生

2 – Baby Can Read • Have you ever seen a two-year old reading a novel?

第二名：寶寶也可以讀書。你有看過一個兩歲的小寶寶讀小說嗎？

Or even reading anything for that matter? No. It’s because they can’t.

或是甚至讀任何其他東西嗎？沒有，因為他們沒辦法。

A company that promised it could teach kids to read whole books before the age of 3

這間公司保證他們可以在小朋友三歲前教會他們如何閱讀

was sued and forced to take its products off the market in account of flagrant false advertising.

之後被控告並切強迫要將他們的產品下架，原因是不能容忍的錯誤廣告

The program was called, ‘Your Baby Can Read!’, but they just didn’t mention that

這個計畫叫做「你的寶寶也可以閱讀」，但他們只是沒有提到

no baby has ever read anything in the history of babies.

歷史上沒有任何嬰兒可以閱讀

Not only are most babies not geniuses, they don’t even understand how to not shit their own pants.

除了大部分的嬰兒不是天才以外，他們甚至不知道如何不要大便在褲子裡

Come on, y'all. Babysteps, babysteps. You gotta go one step a time.

拜託，你們大家，嬰兒學步呀！你要一步一步慢慢來

1 – Caffeine Pants • It seems that some people will try anything to lose weight, except for you know,

第一名：咖啡因褲子。看起來有些人會用盡一切方法減重，除了你知道的，

eating healthy and exercising. A couple of companies recently developed

吃健康的食物以及運動。有幾間公司最近研發了

caffeine-infused undergarments that allegedly advertised they could make you lose weight

注入咖啡因的內褲，並且說這可以幫助你減重

by somehow magically dissappearing your fat cells. I don’t know whether it’s sadder

因為這件褲子可以神奇的讓你的脂肪細胞消失。我不知到哪個比較可悲啦，

that someone actually made these – or that people thought coffee in your underpants was

到底是發明這個商品的人，還是那些覺得放咖啡在你內褲裡

a legitimately good idea. • There are no shortcuts to weight loss and good health.

是個很好的主義的人。減肥以及健康沒有捷徑

Just good old fashioned sweating, self-control and emotional support.

反正就是大家老是在說的：多流汗、自我控制以及精神上的堅持

I mean I managed to lose over 50 pounds in 3 months.

我可以這樣在三個月內減了超過 50 磅

Which is a little too fast but it's possible!

是真的有點太快啦，但這是有可能的！

You just gotta believe in yourself!

你就是要相信你自己！

Exercise! Do it! You gotta believe in your dreams!

運動！做就對了！你要相信你的夢想！

I've never really encountered any kind of false advertising.

我是沒有真的遇過這種失敗的錯誤廣告啦

Moreso I've encountered some pretty misleading ones.

不過我是遇過幾個真的很容易讓人誤會的

One being from McDonald's words said: Now serving white meat!

其中一個就是麥當勞的廣告說：我們現在開始販賣白肉囉！

And in my head I was like: What kind of meat were you serving before?

我看到就在想：啊不然你之前賣的是什麼肉？

What about you guys? What's something really misleading that you've seen before?

你們大家呢？有沒有什麼你看過真的很容易讓人誤會的廣告呢？

Much love and appreciation guys. Take care. Peace

愛你們，謝謝啦。再見
