40 Of The Worst Packaging And Labelling Fails Of All Time

Leave a comment
Have you ever come across a recognisable product in a package that was clearly not designed for it? Have you ever read something on a label and wondered how in the world it made it out of the factory? Well, here are 50 classic examples of packaging and labelling fails that can’t fail any harder…


#1. Only for the hussies in your life

#2. I prefer mine schooled and raised

#3. No cock for tonight folks, we’re cutting back on our artificial flavoring intake

#4. The NRA’s most recent advertising scheme

#5. It’s a delicious classic

#6. That’s an interesting looking watermelon you got there

#7. 100% pure homo

#8. Sounds delicious

#9. Either she’s a dwarf bathing in a large toilet, or… you know, they got the packaging wrong…

#10. I heard too much of this stuff isn’t good for you

#11. I need to show this to my boss, the fortune cookies never lie

#12. Lindsay Lohan’s Barbie product line

#13. That’s one weird looking dog

#14. Clearly strawberries

#15. Either they accidently added an ‘ity’ – or they have a serious misunderstanding about the power of soap

#16. Let’s just cut right to the chase shall we?

#17. “Buy today and also get marriage counseling free!”


#18. At least they are being honest

#19. Yeah… no thanks

#20. Nothing says onions quite like a long, yellow corncob

#21. The horse and Ken are not included separately

#22. We’ve all been there

#23. Sorry kids, lasagne is off the menu tonight

#24. I heard it smells like ass (I’ll see myself out)

#25. Oh dear

#26. I’m afraid of anything that says “creamy,” “white,” and “finishing” in the same sentence

#27. Ice has never tasted more delicious

#28. Those are some nice balls you got there

#29. This is why you always read labels

#30. Friskies is widening their market

#31. Not gonna lie, I’d try it

#32. I sure hope not

#33. At least they are enjoying themselves

#34. That’s an unfortunate, um, design fail there

#35. I think I will pass

#36. And he likes to celebrate it like a princess!

#37. This is disturbing

#38. I would hate to see the extraction process

#39. I’d love to support Welsh products, but… I’ll have to pass on this one

#40. The Easter bunny is a cunning fellow… not that it matters – they’re getting eaten either way


These unintentionally hilarious mistakes in packaging and translation are simply too much to handle. All I know is that someone, somewhere, got fired for letting them hit the market.

25 Hilarious Signs That Completely Fail To Serve Their Purpose

Leave a comment
Signs are all around the world. They help guide traffic, enforce rules, and answer questions. There are often times when a sign is coincidentally funny. There are other times when they are just plain questionable. People see signs like this and wonder, “What was the person who made this thinking?” “Were they sober?” “How could they not notice the error in their ways?” In some cases, people wonder whether or not these sign-makers still have their jobs!

But regardless of the reasoning behind the sign, they still cause people to laugh (and occasionally cringe). The list below contains 25 of the funniest and strangest signs from around the world.

1. Teachers Who Make The Differance

And our perfect spelling proves it


2. ​Pain Bagel

I think I’ll take a chocolate croissant rather than a pain bagel to start my day off.


​3. LOL

Hopefully the lifeguard has a different set of rules to follow.

​4. Gynecology Restaurant

Suddenly the hunger has disappeared!


5. Exit Sign

Going through this door means taking a pretty big risk.

 ​6. Priority Seat

Babies = WIFI. According to this sign, at least.


7. Left Lane

This is a classic case of drunk sign-making.


8. Firewood

Good luck trying to start a fire with these!


9. ​Entrance?

Talk about mixed signals…


​10. No Smoking Alcohol

Most people probably weren’t planning on it, but now you mentioned it…


11. MICE

Probably not McDonald’s most successful way to advertise ice.


​12. Pubic Event

Sounds like an exciting party!


13. ​Seniors Center

Not quite what Grandma was expecting.


​14. Slip Carefully

If you’re going to slip, do so with grace.


15. Free Tacos…Yesterday

Thanks a lot, Taco Bell.


16. Do Not Breathe Under The Water

Studies have shown that the majority of time someone attempts to breathe underwater it doesn’t end too well. Just don’t do it!


17. Lemons

When life gives you lemons… make orange juice.


18. Texting While Driving

But make sure that you text “SAFETY” to 79191 first.


19. Push Button Or Yell

Always good to have options

20. Mega… What?

Oh Megaflicks… You should have used a different font

21. The 9th Floor Has Moved

I wonder what they did with the 15th

22. Best Directions Ever

People kept getting lost, so they put up a sign

23. Give Your Valentine Crabs

Always nice to be thoughtful

24. Speed Bumps Ahead

This is worse than “Slow Children at Play”

25. Do Not Touch

As if instant death isn’t punishment enough

8 Silly Things We All Inexplicably Do

Leave a comment
We all have our own weird habits. Some are weird enough they better stay secret, while some are just plain useless, like repeatedly pressing the C button on a calculator just to be 100% sure it’s cleared, or pressing the lift button three or four times to make sure it’s really coming.

I can’t leave my house these days without turning back 30 seconds later to check if I’ve locked the door, which obviously I have, every single time. But that’s humans in a nutshell. We’re all trying to influence and control little situations in the only way we know how – overkill. I do at least 5 of these, how about you?


1. Can’t be too careful.

2. Three clicks equal a green light.

3. Maybe mum has filled it in the last two minutes.

4. Every. Time.

5. Pretty confident there’s nothing on the screen, good to be sure though.

6. Maybe if I press more the lift with ascend faster.

7. Purely for tricep building.

8. Everyone knows the five save rule.

The great thing about humans is that we all do this weird stuff on a regular basis. We’re uniquely the same. And yes, that doesn’t mean anything. But it’s far less pointless then most of the things on this list!

40 Most Bloodcurdling Chinese Mistranslations Ever! Warning: You Will Laugh To Death!

Leave a comment
Chinese, or more specifically Mandarin, is nowadays the most spoken language in the world with around 2 billion speakers. English on the other hand, is the third most spoken language with an estimate of between 300 – 400 million speakers. [1]

Even though both languages can be regarded as world languages, translations between the two seem to be much more difficult than expected. Especially, when considering the bloodcurdling examples, which we provided below.

Have you ever thought of having a glass of “Cock Light” or “Whiskey & Cock”? Maybe you should add a plate of “Sixi Roasted Husband” or “Meat Fried Cat Ear” to that order! Well, if these choices do not suit you, maybe you are in the wrong restaurant or maybe the translator of the menu card needs to take a language course.

Nevertheless, we have to acknowledge that we would not have laughed so hard, when the translators would have visited a language course. Therefore, please do not take language courses! Enjoy…

Tiny Tortoises Attempt to Consume a Stack of Tiny Terrapin-Friendly Pancakes

Leave a comment
What happens when a bunch of tortoises come across a stack of pancakes? This really sweet video has the answer! Several tiny sulcata tortoises attempt to consume a stack of tiny terrapin-friendly pancakes that were prepared in the BuzzFeedBlue kitchens. Each tortoise took a different approach; one attacked the starchy goodness directly and got a big yummy payoff, while another took one look, shrugged his figurative shoulders, and gave up without even trying.

16 Adorable Pun Illustrations To Brighten Your Day

Leave a comment
These little images designed are positively adorable. Featuring everyday objects and combining them with motivational phrases for cute visual puns, they are guaranteed to make you just a tiny bit happier. After all, don’t we all need just a little boost to make our day brighter? Whether it’s a toilet paper roll telling you enjoy what you do or smiling telescope and looking glass encouraging you to appreciate the little things, they are all so, so sweet. Quite the change from the usual cynical internet!

All of these cutesy motivators were made by Lim Heng Swee, an illustrator based in Kuala Lampur, Malaysia. His design motto is “doodle a smile”, and that’s what he does, day after day. His good (and funny) work has not gone unnoticed: it has already been featured in such publications as La Monde and Readers Digest, and his social media has more than 80,000 combined followers. Unsurprisingly, his designs are widely featured on t-shirts, and have been used by brands like Gap, Nike and Threadless. The latter has even awarded him as the designer of the year – twice!

Apparently, being positive pays off – literally!
