hey guys what's up it's Charlie here and today we're going to be looking at 10
products that lie straight to your face we all have products we rely on they
make our lives easier and so usually we assumed they're doing their job but what
if I told you that's not always the case these are products that don't do what
they say on the tin before we get into it leave a like and subscribe and
comment I subscribed and I'll try to reply coming in at number ten that we
have potato chips potato chips are one of the most popular snacks in the world
and also one of the most profitable to company the problem with potato chips is
that what you're buying is mostly a bag of air potato chip bags and nearly 2/3
air and only a tiny fraction of the bag actually contains any chips
this is lesson many people complaining to chips companies and also multiple
lawsuits the reason companies give for having so much air is that it stops the
ships going stale but scientifically that would only require a little bit of
air not most of the bag well is going to be surprised at the guys who are selling
you air or also lying about why they're doing it this is also partly the reason
why they can fill so many bags for such a low cost they may as well be selling
those novelty cans therefore what you're really paying for next up is leather a
lot of you probably have products that are labeled as being genuine leather
whether it's belt or wallet it's a very sought-after material one of the reasons
why it's so popular is because it seems very high-quality and luxurious but what
many people don't know is that genuine leather is not necessarily good leather
at all the quality of genuine leather is normally lower so it can be made cheaper
this is a technique used by many brands and it's commonplace for some big
company the most surprising thing about this is that even though the quality is
very low sometimes it's still allowed to be called genuine especially when it's
the closest thing to being fake this means firms can make you think you're
spending money on a high quality product but in reality genuine leather is just
the second worst care of leather this may all be a scam as you're still
charged insane prices for these products the way to tell the difference is that
quality leather is smooth and soft quality leather is also normally
slightly flexible so be sure to check your shop
next time you buy leather who knows maybe you could be wearing some of this
genuine leather without even knowing it next up is diamonds diamonds are seen as
one of the most expensive and valuable materials but they may not actually be
as valuable as you thought in fact they aren't worth much at all because they
holds no real value like oil and gold the truth is they're just made out of
carbon that's right the same stuff pencil Tomatoes so why are pencils worth
a fortune well the finely cuts diamonds you see in
stores are mostly owned by just a few companies these companies have an
unwritten agreement about price and aren't really competing for customers
this means they can charge anything they like because there's no real price to
compete with to top it all off once you've bought a diamond it loses almost
half its value and if you think and if you think that's crazy
one of the big diamond companies chairman actually said diamonds are
intrinsically worthless Wow it's one thing to rip people off but
that's just rubbing it in turns outs diamonds aren't a girl's best friend the
diamond companies however hmm maybe next up is fortune cookie if you go to a
Chinese restaurant you'll normally be given a fortune cookie at the end of
your meal most people assume this is some kind of old Chinese tradition but
that's not exactly true in fact the creator of fortune cookies
is not even Chinese fortune cookies were first made in California it's not 100%
clear but the inventor is likely Japanese or America it's a popular
belief that the inventor made them for families having hard time as it gave
them hope as you put positive and inspiring messages in his cookies
despite the fact they're meant to be a Chinese food it's actually unpopular in
China as it's considered too American and the little extra fact chop suey was
actually made in California not China Wow it's California trying to be the new
China or something coming up next we have water
everybody needs water it keeps us refreshed and can be welcomed on a hot
day but one thing look everyone knows is how much water you should actually be
drinking most people think the recommended amount is about six to eight
glasses a day but as a matter of fact that's just a lied many big water
bottling companies tell you this so that you need to drink the water and
therefore buy more in fact this information is even given to Health
magazine and websites by various company some
studies even show that 8 glasses of water a day is too much and a few people
have even passed away due to over hydration this just shows how dangerous
drinking too much water can really be if you just drink water when you're thirsty
that should be all you need to new drinking water was so simple next up is
toothpaste when you buy a product you want to know it works well that's why
most people rely on statistics to let them know the quality of a product you
normally see toothpaste saying 9 out of 10 doctors recommend this but this is
often kind of a lie in reality this survey is normally the
best result of nearly a hundred different surveys and it's specifically
chosen to sound good sometimes the surveys are even set up by
the company selling the product that's like making your own survey and telling
everyone how great you are the majority of high results are
completely full or a cherry picked out of literally hundreds of tears
this basically means companies can just lie and get away with it how crazy is
that so next time you see one of these amazing statistics maybe think twice
before buying it false statistics are really a nasty marketing scheme but did
you know that 11 out of 10 doctors recommend a daily dose of toptenz
next up is mouthwash when you wake up you likely wash your mouth out with
mouthwash most people use it to prevent bad breath and halitosis but what if I
told you that mouthwash was invented for for halitosis mouthwash actually began
as a general cleaning product but was then logged it in a new way to prevent
bad breath it was so unpopular companies created
the disease to boost sales most of the big brands used halitosis as a major
selling point even though it's not real it was described as a disease that can
be prevented using mouthwash but it's not real and what's made up by mouthwash
company despite this many people today still think it exists
some people even solely by mouthwash just to prevent halitosis
in fact mouthwash isn't even as good as preventing bad breath as toothpaste is
making up a disease to increase sales I know big companies are seen as evil but
that is just ridiculous I guess it could be worse
like actually it's not that it's pretty bad
next up we have fast booze everybody likes fast food every now and then and
when you look at those ads you normally see tasty and tantalizing burgers but
when you come to get the actual food it never looks the same this can be
disappointing or annoying but the links that companies go to in order to make
the burgers look appetizing can be really crazy
the burgers most of the time our hidden leaf Photoshop to make them appear more
attractive but that's not even the most shocking thing the burgers are sometimes
covered in glue or shoe polish to give it a shine this is why most burgers and
ads look so glossy these are just a few examples but most companies are so
desperate to make their food look nice they will do literally anything to them
I'm pretty sure they've used speaking previant
if it meant more people would buy it Wow those tasty ads aren't so tasty in real
life burgers are seen as unhealthy but the
ones advertised a worse than the ones actually sold unless you want a mouth
full of glue next up is phone providers when you're choosing a new provider for
your cell phone you may want to make sure it has good coverage that is why
coverage maps can help showing you where 3G and 4G is available the only issue is
these maps are sometimes complete lies they use the maps in order to avoid
giving any real values and means they can make it appear like they have more
coverage the maps normally show just areas that they reach but the signals
are normally very weak this is because many companies put one big tower
covering a wide area and decolor the areas that they cover no matter how bad
the signal is making it look impressive on a map there's even some cases where
they advertise coverage in some areas where there's absolutely none now that
is straight-up lying to paying customers that explains where you can never get
data in the woods just because they serve the area data it doesn't mean
you'll actually get it next up is food packaging much of the food we buy is
packaged and normally those packages contain phrases like natural and healthy
but this is not always the truth there have been many cases where the
food is processed and shops can easily get away with it putting natural on
packaging means next to nothing and in reality is almost a scam companies do
this to make their food sounds more appealing and healthy so that more
people buy it this can sometimes apply to words like light and healthiest
well present like this can be found on burger packaging candy and even cookies
you must know something strong when your pack of cookies are called healthy
however rules on this are changing as more and more people are becoming aware
of it so over the next few years the number of
your smeeding food packages will go down I don't know about you but after this
I'm very hungry to some organic french fries and that just about wraps up this
