this isn't our normal cereal well because this is the store brand but it's delicious while big
brand name food companies compete to stand out others are out there playing imposter to ride
the wave of success here are more of the top 15 hilarious knockoff food brands fake fake fake fake
mountain shouting it's diet dude diet soda doesn't give you diarrhea there are many different types
of knock-off sodas out there almost all of them with some ridiculous name that tries to stick
close to the actual brand name without getting too close to it to avoid any chance of being sued
for copying the brand i see what you did there good one the most popular brand name to copy
is dr pepper but coming in a close second is mountain dew with a bunch of knock-off versions
out there mountain shoutin is a knock-off version of mountain dew and while the flavor may be sort
of similar to the much beloved greenish soda it's not the same as buying the name brand soda itself
it has the usual taste that knockoff sodas do where it comes close to almost being what
you're looking for but never quite satisfying that craving you may just want to go ahead and spend
the money and buy the actual mountain dew rather than this knock off oreo mother oreo smoothie now
boreo is a cookie brand that is local to egypt and one that is extremely similar to oreos and
name and look oreos are two chocolate cookies with a vanilla cream filling and boreos are
well the exact same thing oddly enough kraft foods bought out the original owners of oreo in 2000
and three years later they would do the same thing with the company that made boreals so
while boreals are technically a knockoff food based on oreos they are now owned and made by
the same parent company meaning they are bringing in the money from both the original oreos brand as
well as one of the popular regional knockoff brands of that same cookie rather than trying
to get rid of the competition they would instead buy them out and collect their profits as well
money money money money if you're ever in egypt this knockoff cookie brand may be worth at least
trying to see how similar it is to the original oreos sick mints thick
most people know the famous girl scout cookies known as thin mints thin cookies with a minty
inside and a chocolate outside they are much loved by many people and are one of the most popular
cookies sold by the girl scouts though there are other similar versions of this style of cookie
one of the most ridiculous ones is called thick mints and these are also exactly what you would
expect the classic thin mints or thin cookies that perfectly balance the mint and chocolate
in them whereas thick mints are these same cookies but instead of a thin bit of mint inside
this cookie has a very thick mint patty inside that is surrounded with just a bit of chocolate
just a little bit i can't stress the littleness of it enough these knockoff cookies have a larger
proportion of mint to chocolate which is a little less appealing than actual thin mints as the mint
can get really overwhelming marshmallow mateys what is this glutinous monstrosity before me
marshmallow mateys are oddly named considering they're a ripoff of lucky charms with mateys
in the name many people would think that it would be some sort of cap'n crunch knockoff
but it is in fact a plain cereal that has little marshmallow pieces just like lucky charms while
they're not as direct with their knockoff as some of the other alternate brands they did take the
general concept of lucky charms and renamed it so that they would not have issues with copyrights
smart and smart instead of focusing their name and designs around the leprechaun as lucky charms did
they chose to go with a pirate theme so as to not be that similar to the lucky charms brand while
they're not the only knockoff brand of the popular lucky charm cereal it feels like marshmallow
mateys are doing the best job at hiding in plain sight and are worth mentioning above
some of the other knock-off competition could it be butter i still can't believe it's not butter
butter is something that is extremely imitated whether it's an actually known brand or one of
the more hilariously named ones such as could it be butter as it turns out it is definitely not
butter but they do get some points for having a mysterious name alluding to the fact that
it could possibly be butter but you will not know unless you buy it and try it for yourself
that's interesting that's very interesting though it is safe to assume from the name and the fact
that it's a knockoff brand that it is not butter at all there are a lot of butter alternative
options out there including margarine brands that are purchased by many households but the best ones
are those that have hilarious names like could it be butter if you want to find more hilarious names
for knockoff butter brands it's as easy as a quick google search because there are a lot of them
mfc what when i win a chicken dinner mfc is a chicken restaurant that seems to be named
after the popular restaurant chain kfc though mfc stands for mr fried chicken yes the name is
similar to kfc they simply took out the kentucky part and changed it to mister and they had their
ideal fried chicken restaurant name easy peasy they're a popular chicken restaurant in india
and they claim to be the best choice for fried chicken at least according to their website
this is an awfully bold claim considering how many other chicken restaurants are out there
including the real deal kfc themselves mfc says that they locally source their ingredients
which is at least a little different than the chicken restaurant they're copying but they are
still a direct knockoff of the internationally known kfc chain though it may be popular in
india it has not moved anywhere else in the world at least not yet show your support by
hitting that like button we do appreciate it now let's keep going the show goes on mama john's mama
papa john's is a really well-known pizza chain what you may not have heard of is mama john's
which is obviously a knockoff of papa john's tell me about it it feels like a half-hearted attempt
with only a slight name change but there was no effort to make this a knock off without being
obvious about it all they did was switch papa to mama and continued on with their day selling hot
pizza just like their direct namesake most of the time these knock-off brands try to at least change
the name enough so that they cannot be accused of exactly what they're doing mama john's is a little
bolder than some other knockoff brands flags we're on strike hunger strike you're eating potato chips
potato chips are an extremely popular snack all over the world and there are several different
brands that are known for their flavors and quality one of the most popular brands are
lay's potato chips with a large range of flavors including some limited edition and strange flavor
releases playing off of the famous lay's brand are the hilariously named legs chips what these chips
could make for some hilarious time asking someone to pass you the legs could be confusing and funny
if they don't realize that you're talking about these knock-off chips other than trying to copy
lei's there's no other reason for this brand to be named legs there are other names that could have
been used but for some reason the producers of these chips decided to go with the name legs maybe
it was a ploy to bring attention to their product due to the hilarious name tick tick tick tack tic
tacs are very well known these little candies come in easy to dispense plastic containers
and classic minty flavors or in fruity flavors as well they can be found in the pockets backpacks
cars and purses of people all over the world there are even region specific tic tac flavors so it's
no surprise that there is a knockoff with a very uncreative knockoff name this knockoff brand
simply removed the i and a from tic tac and replaced them with c's instead very original
steven well it's not likely that these candies taste the same as the brand they copied they at
least put in some sort of effort to ride on the coattails of this well-known brand they even come
in the same type of iconic container that tic tacs do and the logo would be easy enough to mix up
with the real tic tacs if you were just grabbing for them quickly at the store party chips let's
get the party started not the way i taught you party chips sound like a fun brand but in reality
there's nothing that is overly unique about this brand instead this is a knockoff brand of pringles
offering the same type of chips with similar flavors texture and shapes as the popular chip
brand party chips are not as fun as the name would suggest simply being a less flavorful knockoff
of pringles the cans are also shorter so while they are cheaper than the brand name they're not
as tasty and there are less of them you would be much better off just buying pringles and spending
the little bit extra for the flavor quality and quantity trust me when i say this as with
most off-brand items they're not as good as the original and they're cheaper for a reason taurus
mama there's a kick like a mule energy drinks are an extremely popular thing these days with so many
different brands and flavors out there it can be hard to choose just one there are those that
are loyal to the really well-known brands such as rockstar monster and red bull but you may not know
what you're missing out on if you don't branch out and try those other classic brands such as
taurus yes taurus is exactly what you think it is a knockoff brand of red bull right down to the
branding and color scheme used with a bull image in red on a blue background with white details
good luck with that this is cutting it close to playing off of the red bull brand without actually
getting in trouble for being the exact same the taste is probably a little different than the
red bull we're used to but maybe more liked by some consumers than the brand they're knocking
off mr mahmoud uh guys we gonna want another pizza let me just who's hungry show a hand
mr mahmoud is not a name that really gives any hint as to what it's trying to rip off
but as soon as you see the logo it's extremely obvious what they're trying to emulate with a big
golden m it is suddenly clear that they are trying to copy mcdonald's oh we love mcdonald's what the
biggest difference between the two is the fact that mr mahmoud sells pizza instead of hamburgers
in fact the only thing that is really a knockoff is the giant golden m logo other than that they're
just operating a regular pizza place no rip-off big macs to be found here this restaurant has
been called the evil twin of mcdonald's due to the fact that the giant golden m
reminds people of mcdonald's but they cannot get hamburgers there tolerant uh we'll have them
tolerance sounds like a failed attempt at saying toblerone and that is exactly what
it tries to sound like this is a rip-off of toblerone though the lower quality is
obvious with this chocolate bar definitely worth spending the extra money on the actual brand name
if you're looking to enjoy a toblerone bar i'm for real i'm for real the funniest part
of this knockoff chocolate bar is saying the name it makes you sound like a toddler who's
having a hard time pronouncing toblerone the quality of the chocolate itself is not up to par
and the ingredients just don't go together as well as in the real toblerone unless you're
fine with cheaper chocolate and just looking for a quick sweet fix and tolerant is the nearest thing
you're better off picking up something else crispy hexagons just waiting for my breakfast
luis crispy hexagons did not even try to come up with some clever name or logo they just used
a literal name that describes exactly what this cereal is they are a knockoff of crispix by legos
and actually there are a few different companies that made this same knockoff cereal with the exact
same name there had to have been something else to call it a more clever name that would have
been more fun but instead multiple companies decided to simply just use a descriptive name
and run with it if it works it works and clearly since multiple companies have used the same name
it must at least sort of be working it makes sense doesn't it the taste is pretty similar as it's an
easy cereal to copy but it's not quite the exact same as the original cereal burger friends and the
enemy of my enemy is my friend so jim is actually my friend burger king is known internationally the
royal sounding burger chain plays on the name and uses a golden crown in its branding as well
as a king for a mascot burger friends is a burger king knockoff but without the royal theme instead
of being a king ruling over the land of fast food this restaurant is simply a friend burger friends
has a cute little mask out of a guy wearing a suit not sure how that fits in with the name burger
friends but he does look awfully friendly and inviting first time for you first time yes while
burger friends is not nearly as popular as the restaurant chain giant burger king they do exist
and they're out there and some of their menu items sound an awful lot like some of the limited time
items that burger king has released let's go to bf just doesn't sound the same as let's go to bk
