23 Hilariously Bad Knockoff Brands
In every dollar store and Chinatown marketplace these little gems can be found. If nothing else, their efforts are commendable.
1. Mountain Lightning
This logo makes me feel like they may or may not have slipped amphetamine into this soda.
5. Robert Cop 3
I wonder how the first two "Robert Cops" were.
6. Cocoa Peanut Butter Spheres
I think the ad team here just didn't care whether or not they got fired.
7. My Little...Oh....
Somewhere, a Bronie is weeping.
11. Johns Daphne
Well, at least you know this bottle has only the top notch sort of tenderness you expect from fine whiskey.
14. PolyStation 3
If you're really interested on how this thing doesn't actually work, you can watch a video here.
15. Big Americans
Well, this doesn't reinforce any stereotypes about 'Merika.
18. Goetze's Caramel Creams
Whoops. If only WaWa understood the internet implications here.
22. Cooking Spray and Furniture Polish
in the exact same packaging. Who's ready to accidentally poison themselves?
23. Mighty Mutant Power Turtles
There is so much going on here, I don't even know where to start. By the way, this is the packaging for what you'd think is a VHS tape but is actually a stick of bubble gum poorly made to look like a VHS tape.

I think Duracell is on the list because the bunny makes it look like a knockoff of the Energizer bunny.

Like everyone said, duracell isn't a knockoff, and furthermore Dr. Oetker's “Big American” pizza, is found in most supermarkets in the Netherlands and Germany, even the slightly more upscale ones. So not really an asian market knock-off product..

Umm Duracell isn't a knockoff brand at all. Are they not commonly found in the states?
-
Why did this article mix knock-off brands with generic or store brands? The poster must waste a lot of money buying everything name-brand.

Oh god, oh god, oh god, oh god! Quick! someone help! I have a mental image of the Goatze Caramel Creams production process stuck in my head!

As has been noted, Duracell is in no way a knockoff brand. The real question is why clicking the source sends you to a picture of a turtle?!?!

I have a red labial should I see my doctor?

This reminds me of the time that my friend thought she got a D&G bag from someone for Christmas. She was really excited about it until I pointed out that it said “Dolce & Gabbandeana.” At least it was a gift, though. I think the person who bought it for her thought it was real and paid real D&G money for it. Ha. Knockoffs…
-
Am I the only one who would actually watch Mighty Mutant Power Turtles if it was real.
-
Goetze is a real, reputable company, as is the Wawa chain (both American, I believe).
-
#19: Are they sure it's not supposed to read “Old Crotch Whiskey”?
-
Lol! “who's ready to poison themselves?”
-
i don't think ever seen so many links to sa in a buzzfeed article.

1/3 the price of the original? There are plenty of posers that would stand in line for a Bently Royce
