Perfectly Timed Photos That Mess With Our Brain

You may not be the best photographer in the world, but sometimes all it takes to capture an amazing photo is just being in the right place at the right time. Sometimes, the world also wants us to take a perfect photo and aligns everything so seamlessly that all you have to do is just press the shutter release button. From accidental optical illusions to amazing photobombs, here are 100 perfectly timed photos that’ll surely make your day (or night… depends on your geographical location). So, let’s get started:

Angelic Firefighter

This photo perfectly depicts firefighters as angels. After all, they risk their lives to save others.

Angelic Firefighter

Ricardo Cuba Zavala

This perfectly timed photo shows that not all heroes wear capes. Some have angelic wings as well.

Winning the Ignoring Competition

We are not sure why two rows of judges are ignoring the gymnast here. No one really knows the exact reason.

Winning the Ignoring Competition

It is believed that the judges thought they were in a competition of “Best Ignorers” in the world.

Hottest Body

This is a “Purrfect” snap! The cat doesn’t look surprised because she knows that she has a great body.

Hottest Body

jellyd0nut

We just can’t say anything else because no amount of words can do justice to the beauty of this hottie.

The Struggles of a Substitute Teacher

First of all, this picture is super funny due to how perfectly the word “help” is placed on this teacher’s forehead.

The Struggles of a Substitute Teacher

DedRuck

Secondly, his expressions tell the story as well. Indeed, the struggle is real for this substitute teacher.

Mesmerizing Wave

Such a mind-blowing picture that surely needs to win some sort of a photography award.

Mesmerizing Wave

Grant Ly

This photo shows how much-underrated water is and we totally agree with it.

When Toilet is Calling You

Who knows maybe this toilet leads you to another world. It is surely not from the Harry Potter film series.

When Toilet is Calling You

Trololman72

It is more of a toilet that shines like this whenever you need it in an emergency.

A Perfect Sunset

We can only imagine how long this photographer waited to capture this amazing shot.

A Perfect Sunset

John H. Moore

Considering various factors such as weather and the sun not setting in the same place on the horizon every day, you really need a lot of luck by your side to take a photo like this one.

“But First, Let Me Take a Selfie”

This is called taking a once in a lifetime photo. You’d have to take a double look at this photo.

“But First, Let Me Take a Selfie”

The falcon looks a bit surprised. Who knows it actually came by the window to check its hair before going on a date.

Aladdin Has Aged Now

Now that Disney’s Aladdin (2019) has hit the theaters, you should know that this is the real Aladdin.

Aladdin Has Aged Now

stan1541

It is a bit surprising that he has aged so quickly. Maybe that’s what love does to you!

A Cat With Six Packs

Anyone who has ever kept a cat knows that these little fluff balls love boxes or anything in which they can fit themselves.

A Cat With Six Packs

j3nn1f3r00

This photo shows that the cat is showing off how hard it has worked to get a six-pack.

Tree of Life

We can only imagine how the photographer must’ve felt after capturing this amazing photo. We are speechless.

Tree of Life

LeGaffe

The tree in this photo looks like a “Tree of Life.” Surely it is a photo that reminds us how beautiful trees are.

Truck Stealing The Sun

Aha…we’ve got this figured. We all were told that the sun actually sets in the evening. In reality, a truck loads it and takes it away every evening.

Truck Stealing The Sun

Diginixy

Whether the truck was trying to steal the sun or not, it is a perfectly timed photo that definitely deserves a spot in this list.

Perfect Hair

Children like to dress like their mamas, right? This picture shows that the foal just wants to be like its mother.

Perfect Hair

Streetmix

We can imagine that this foal just can’t wait to grow up and be like its mama.

Powerful Bumblebee

Here is an example of being in the right place at the right time. This is a stunning photo without any doubt.

Powerful Bumblebee

mike_pants

We all have heard that ants and bees can carry many times their own weight, but carrying the weight of the sun is simply remarkable.

Perfection

Not only was the photographer at the right place at the right time, but even this girl was also meant to be there at that moment.

Perfection

The fact that the color of her overcoat matches the color of angelic wings; it is a perfect example of flawlessness.

Chief Vitamin Water

The chief is surveying his domain with “bottle feature” on his head and it seems so real.

Chief Vitamin Water

BisonST

We just hope that he is happy with everyone doing their job correctly. He looks a bit grumpy; maybe he should drink some of that water.

Relative of Pegasus

You can think of it as a distant relative of Pegasus or a cousin of Buckbeak from Harry Potter.

Relative of Pegasus

Jagdeep Rajpu

Nevertheless, it is a perfectly snapped photo that is certainly magnificent.

Dilma Rousseff Getting Stabbed

Although it is just optical illusion, this is such a convincing photo that definitely deserves a spot in our list.

Dilma Rousseff Getting Stabbed

We can assume that this photo could’ve been taken by the photographer from another angle.

Superhero Dad

As we can see in this picture, almost everyone is trying to avoid the baseball bat… except for the superhero dad.

Superhero Dad

saraboulos

We can’t stop but thinking what is that guy on the extreme right of this photo trying to do. Is he trying to stop the baseball bat mid-air by using his special power?

Death Wearing Red

The photographer was taking random photos of his mother when he took this “scary as hell” photo.

Death Wearing Red

MuffinHatLP

We must say that it is one scary picture that surely doesn’t have any place in the photo album.

Lightning & Rainbow

In this picture, there are two natural phenomenons and then there is one man-made plane.

Lightning & Rainbow

flashman

As the plane is flying through a rainbow, lightning strikes it and luckily no one was hurt.

Miss Ostrich

This is a perfect case of illusion at its best. At first glance, you may think an ostrich has some really great-looking black hair.

Miss Ostrich

conancat

Even the ostrich has wings that have no hair on them. Looks legit, right?

Holding Up The Ocean in One Hand

This is without a doubt a stunning shot. It looks beautiful and empowering at the same time.

Holding Up The Ocean in One Hand

Tina Sokolovskaya

Not many people will realize it the photographer must have put a lot of hard work into this shot.

Making A Treble Clef

Who knew earphones (mostly) used to listen to music could make a treble clef as well.

Making A Treble Clef

reddit.com

While most of us find it difficult to untangle our earphones, these ones are surely special.

Magical Hair

You may think that these are two photos taken at different times, but if you look closely you’ll see that they are taken within a short period of time.

Magical Hair

We have no explanation of how the hair magically disappeared. Who knows maybe that was a disguise?

“Hey, I Love You Man”

This photo shows why you need to turn off the TV before taking a picture.

"Hey, I Love You Man”

Streeb-Greebling

We can’t say for sure whether the player is sniffing this guy or telling him that he loves him.

Simpsons Lovers

This photo shows that there are two admirers of The Simpsons here; the person who is watching it on TV and the other one has Marge on his Van.

Simpsons Lovers

VladislavMiloslav

Even Homer Simpson is a bit confused to see Marge Simpson. Maybe he is doing something he is not supposed to do

A Great Shot

It looks quite obvious that it took a lot of preparation and work for the photographer to take this amazing picture.

A Great Shot

panilssonoutdoorphotography

From the looks of this photo, it seems as if the dimensions are melting together.

Special Customer

There is nothing unusual about this picture, it is just a doggo grabbing a coffee before going to work.

Special Customer

conversingwithoceans

If you find this photo unusual, keep on scrolling down because more “ordinary” pictures are coming your way.

“What Are Those?”

It seems as if Pedro Pascal is as confused as we are right now. He certainly has no idea what this person is wearing.

"What Are Those?"

frankieMART

It is said that the actor is still waiting for the answer and so are we. Seriously, what are those?

Beer Abuse

Once you see this photo, you can’t un-see it. After all, it plays with your mind.

Beer Abuse

FCBayernEN

It looks as if one footballer is pouring his beer onto another player, but it also looks as if the other player has a towel on his head.

Peter Pan and Tinker Bell

So, this photographer took a photo of his fire pit and caught two famous cartoon characters.

Peter Pan and Tinker Bell

Clongjax

The more you look at this photo, the more you start to notice the similarities.

Alien Horse

We all remember the famous movie Alien in which the Xenomorph has two mouths. Well, this is a lot scarier.

Alien Horse

Epileptic_Ebola

It looks as if this horse has come from another universe. Who knows maybe this horse will play the leading role in the next alien movie.

Sand Dive

This is a really great shot that was taken right at the moment when the jumper hit the sand.

Sand Dive

Okay some people may claim that they are seeing something else in the sand, we will not clarify it for you (btw, we think the same as well).

Superhero?

Like we said earlier, it just takes one right moment to take a perfect picture. Well, this is a great example of that.

Superhero?

WhatStartsTheHeart

This photographer took a photo of his brother and it looks as if he is ready to save our planet from bad guys.

Extreme Sun Tan

This is the kind of sun tan you get when you don’t wear a shirt all summer.

Extreme Sun Tan

uzonline

Remember the episode of TV show Friends in which Ross gets a tan?

Wind Turbine Flower

When there are fourteen wind turbines operating in a row, this is what you are going to get.

Wind Turbine Flower

Grown_Man_Poops

It looks like a flower that has frozen. Nevertheless, it is an amazing photo.

Perfectly Timed Shot!

Oh, don’t worry…the owl isn’t going to snatch the mouse. It just wanted to drop the mouse to its location.

Perfectly Timed Shot!

Tom Samuelson

Even if the owl is planning on eating the mouse, it is the food chain and that’s how it works.

Lightning in a Rainbow

First of all, this picture is simply breathtaking. Secondly, it is a perfectly timed photo that definitely deserved a spot on this list.

Lightning in a Rainbow

DJ-C-Gill

It looks like a video game in which lightning has to stay in the double rainbow. You go out, you lose the game.

An Escape

Okay, even though a shuttle makes a lot of noise, this still looks like a peaceful picture.

An Escape

Richard Silvera

Some may say that it is a fake picture, but even if it is then the person who photoshopped it deserves a pay raise.

Perfect makeup for Halloween

We must admit that this is one scary photo that will haunt you forever. And we are sorry for including it in our list (or maybe we are not).

Perfect makeup for Halloween

One thing can be said here that you must never blink while having your photo taken, especially when you are wearing white eyeshadow.

Pufferfish Photobomb

So the unsuspecting diver was minding his own business when this pufferfish decided to check what’s going on.

Pufferfish Photobomb

caters news agency

At first, we thought that maybe this species has decided to wear swimming gear (guess we were wrong).

Impeccable Timing

If you think that this isn’t perfect timing, then you haven’t ever tried taking a photo of a pet dog.

Impeccable Timing

mysusualusername

The doggo seems confident and we are so happy to include this picture in our list. We feel blessed!

A Rare Photo

In this photo, we can see an airplane is silhouetted against the first solar eclipse of the decade.

A Rare Photo

CHAIWAT SUBPRASOM

This amazing photo was captured in Bangkok, Thailand in 2010.

Skydiving Into Burning Man

This photographer took a photo of his friend skydiving into Burning Man and we have to admit that it is a super cool photo.

Skydiving Into Burning Man

opi8

It is also a perfect profile photo material. By the way, he looks super high (ahem).

Batman Looking for Some “Action”

Okay before you start judging batman for this, just consider that Catwoman is okay with it.

Batman Looking for Some “Action”

RIPMyInnocence

We just find this picture super hilarious and there was no way for us to not include this in our list (lol).

A Snap That Matters

Behold, presenting the flying fluffy doggo that will just melt your heart.

A Snap That Matters

Even if it just a normal doggo photo, we would’ve still included it in our list. We are not barbarians, okay!

Yoga Benefits?

If you have some bizarre fantasies, you better try yoga. At least this is what this photo is implying.

Yoga Benefits?

Czarvana

Hey, don’t judge us for thinking like it. We are only saying what we are seeing.

A Happy Dad

In this photo, you can see three different facial expressions and all of them tell you a different story.

A Happy Dad

TrailTrumpet

The dad looks happy, the mother looks shocked and the kid, well, he seems relaxed (not for too long though).

Ice-Cream Thief

So this guy went to the beach to enjoy the breeze and have an ice-cream under the sun. What could go wrong?

Ice-Cream Thief

sophielola_

Well, this little thief wanted to have a little bite as well. Maybe the birdy has a sweet tooth.

Is He Wearing High Heels?

Hey, we are never going to judge anyone even if they wear high heels, but this looks super strange.

Is He Wearing High Heels?

Tripledip333

Thankfully, it is due to the chair legs and the guy’s posture.

Cat With a Human Nose

We know that cats have evolved over the years, but we did not know that they have evolved this much.

Cat With a Human Nose

CrashProof

According to the person who took this photo, this is the best photo they have ever taken.

What Are You Doing?

At first glance, it looks as if this guy has parenting all figured out (or maybe not).

What Are You Doing?

shelldog

But let’s be fair, optical illusion can be really, really misleading and that is what’s happening in this photo.

Bigfoot

We must admit that this photo of Bigfoot’s childhood shows a completely different side.

Bigfoot

sableenee

Who knew Bigfoot was so cute. Seriously, we are speechless here.

Turning into a Todd

This is a clear case of “evolution went wrong.” Maybe she shouldn’t have kissed the frog.

Turning into a Todd

keehcyma

Jokes apart, the picture does give you a scary feeling (or is it just us who feel scared).

What are the Odds, Right?

It is said that this statue was purposefully placed there so that one day someone would come there and pose just like it.

What are the Odds, Right?

HogNutsJohnson

We still can’t figure out whether he did it on purpose or not.

Birdman

Have you watched the movie Birdman? If yes, then here is a real-life birdman for you.

Birdman

Steve Black

We can only assume that the birdman was tired of flying, so he decided to walk. What a cool guy.

It Was All Written in the Destiny

The picture on the calendar is showing how people would eat their words when they see a cat fit in the red box.

It Was All Written in the Destiny

cat_vlaslov

Well, this cat decided to ensure that it sticks to the plan. Such a magnificent creature it is!

Spark Ricocheting off The Ear

We didn’t know that this man’s ear is made of steel or not. The spark actually deflected off it.

Spark Ricocheting off The Ear

OsamaWasARealShitGuy

The fact that he is also smoking a cigarette (which is quite dangerous), it definitely makes you question everything.

Seafoam Splash

Although this may seem like a picture taken without much effort, it actually takes a lot of concentration.

Seafoam Splash

Ger Kelliher

The seafoam splash was captured at a thousandth of a second.

A Scene from a Horror Movie

This may look like a simple photo, but if you look closely then you can notice something really haunting in this picture.

A Scene from a Horror Movie

koskinick

It looks as if there are some people hanging from the tree. You better wash your vehicle quickly.

The Invisible Hockey Player

We all know how many fights erupt between players in ice hockey games, right? This is just one of those fights.

The Invisible Hockey Player

However, what makes this fight so unique is that one player is fighting with an invisible player.

Perfect Shot

What makes it an awesome shot is the amazing visual demonstration that is very unique.

Perfect Shot

With the help of this shot, we now know how one can run on water.

Someone Worthy Holding The Leaning Tower of Pisa

Yayyy….we are so glad someone worthy finally got the chance to hold the leaning tower of Pisa (not unworthy people).

Someone Worthy Holding The Leaning Tower of Pisa

dilyemera

Doggo looks super happy here. After all, he knows that he is “The One” who rightfully deserves this honor.

Timing is the Key

Although the timing is really important, you need some heavy luck on your side to take a photo like this one.

Timing is the Key

onelapse

It looks as if the cliff is spinning the moon as a pro basketball player does it on his finger

“I Don’t Need a Boat”

First of all, the timing of this photo is great. Secondly, the reflection of this guy in the water is amazing as well.

"I Don’t Need a Boat”

44oz

And by the way, who needs a boat when you can just skim over the water like this guy.

“I Got Skills, What You Got?”

You can thank us later for showing you a picture of a horse twerking (at least it is something new).

“I Got Skills, What You Got?”

This horse certainly knows what it is doing, what about you?

You Are What You Eat

We can only assume that this picture was taken accidentally. But who knows…except for the photographer.

You Are What You Eat

It looks like an earthworm in place of a human head. Even if it seems like something else, we won’t mention it here.

French-Kissed a Doggo

Although it is not recommended to French-kiss a dog, maybe the girl wanted to try something different (we are not judging her).

French-Kissed a Doggo

Ohmyjoss

She claims it was an accident, but the only one surprised in this picture is the doggo.

Oh Deer… Is That a Parratolope?

This breed of parrot is considered one of the rarest one in the world.

Oh Deer... Is That a Parratolope?

farrukhjojo

The best part is that only females have antler and they have actually killed a lot of humans with their…cuteness.

Hair Sniffer

A compliment of “your hair smells good” is good enough and you don’t need to start sniffing their hair.

Hair Sniffer

bvuuu

This is the beauty of a perfectly timed photo; it shows you something that is completely opposite side of the coin.

Elasti-Cat

There is nothing special about the grill in this picture. Look closely to find a unique cat having a nap.

Elasti-Cat

Naruhodo

Just like Elastigirl or Mrs. Incredible can stretch any part of her body, this cat is the superhero of her world.

A Once in A Lifetime Photo

So, this woman was intrigued by the storm and wanted to take a photo of palm trees. What could go wrong?

A Once in A Lifetime Photo

rogerstc2

As she snapped the photo, she accidentally captured lightning hitting one of the palm trees.

Not the Right Time

So this bridesmaid was having a great time. However, she passed out at a really bad time.

Not the Right Time

Kevin Kennedy Ryan

She fainted and fell at the exact moment the priest said: “you may kiss the bride.”

A Doggo Trying to Catch the Ball

From the looks of this picture, it seems as if it is the dog Olympics. Hold on, this could be a cool idea, right?

A Doggo Trying to Catch the Ball

Quarafee

Well, if ever a dog Olympics is organized, we are 101% certain that this doggo would win all “bone-medals.”

Cool Sunglasses

Who knew Buddha was so cool. The Buddha sunglasses look a bit robotic, but we don’t care.

Cool Sunglasses

Given that it looks hot there, we are sure the Buddha needed these glasses.

Accidental Shot

Although the person who took this photo blames the bird for ruining it, we believe that the bird actually made it more awesome.

Accidental Shot

QueenJamesKingJordan

Many people take photos of a sunset, but this one has become special… thanks, birdy.

Perfection Everywhere

First of all, this picture is taken at a perfect time. Secondly, the reflexes of the player are really good as he ducked really quickly to avoid getting completely wet.

Perfection Everywhere

You don’t see many perfectly timed pictures in which people avoid the inevitable.

Are the Policemen Dancing on the Crime Scene?

Imagine the song “You can’t touch this” and then look again at this photo.

Are the Policemen Dancing on the Crime Scene?

tomchch

It is believed that this photo was taken right when the policemen were having a dance-off on who is going to pay for the donuts.

4-Winged Goose

The goose wanted to meet his friends for a great night out, but the distance was too long.

4-Winged Goose

Jens Birch

So, the goose decided to grow an extra pair of wings to fly faster. It is a totally believable and rational explanation.

A Lucky, Lucky Photo

When this guy went to Sri Lanka, he didn’t expect to get hold of such an amazing picture at the end of his trip.

A Lucky, Lucky Photo

ash_squires

This guy was lucky enough to get this photo. We are sure it would take a lot of re-attempts to get even close to this one.

Perfectly Captured Reaction

This person wanted to launch fireworks. It sounded like a good idea at first.

Perfectly Captured Reaction

jaekido

His wife captured his least manly picture of launching fireworks.

Timing is Everything

This is probably one of the most amazing perfectly timed shots ever. At first, it looked like the mermaid finally discovered she has legs.

Timing is Everything

Reuters/David Gray

It may look painful, but the lady is perfectly fine. Phew!

What Can Be Done Now…

This was the moment when she knew she was never going to see her phone again.

What Can Be Done Now…

gavotron

Perhaps, she learned her lesson and never jumped to take a photo anywhere near water.

Mysterious Triumphant Ghost

It looks as the monster named “smokehead” is finally free and ready to haunt the photographer.

Mysterious Triumphant Ghost

Old_Gumbo_McGee

On a second look, it also seems like the monster is flexing his muscles. Don’t you think?

A Helpful Sun

Although the sun in this photo looks super creepy, we should not forget that it is helping release this navy officer’s tension with a shoulder rub.

A Helpful Sun

hmuberto

Even a shoulder rub have started to look creepy now. So, we are just going to say that the sun is being supportive.

Can You Do This?

No, we can’t but we don’t care much. Why? Well, we have seen this doggo and that’s all that matters to us.

Can You Do This?

CourtneyAllison

You may have tried doing it but it is highly expected that you failed. Admit it, you can’t be super cool like this doggo.

This is How You Take a Pool Photo

Take note everyone. This is how you should always take a pool photo

This is How You Take a Pool Photo

aarsmadenkak

And please just give this guy an award for showing off in a manner that we are actually applauding it.

Realizing the The True Power of The Force

This was the moment when this kid realized he can be cast in the next Star Wars movie.

Realizing the The True Power of The Force

mynickname86

It goes without saying that this kid looks straight out of a comic book.

A Good Spot to Sit

The little birdy just wanted to sit somewhere before going to meet his group.

A Good Spot to Sit

Instead of finding a rock or something else, the birdy found the most perfect spot on earth.

Jumper Cow

We thought cow only jumps over the moon. Guess we were wrong.

Jumper Cow

CaptureTheNature

We can notice that the dogs are regretting their decision and wondering “what have we done?”

Tony Stark’s Dog Having a Good Time

Ignore Tony Stark in this picture. Look at the extreme right to feel super jealous.

Tony Stark's Dog Having a Good Time

FrenchCanadaIsWorst

Some people may not admit it but Tony Stark’s doggo is having way more fun than them.

The Moment The Wave Came For A Hug

We just noticed that this picture is similar to the famous scene of the horror movie “The Shining.”

The Moment The Wave Came For A Hug

Az0nic

However, it is an ocean style movie The Shining. Nevertheless, it is a great capture.

Twin Tales

This is such a beautiful picture that we had this irresistible temptation to include it in our list.

Twin Tales

Cameron Watts

There is no doubt in saying that waves have such captivating effect on people, especially when you see waves such as these two.

Impressive Kid

Although the daughter of this person is crawling, it seems as if she is writing profanity.

Impressive Kid

foresttravestys

We must admit that it is some impressive penmanship.

Tree Hair

Now, this is a photo that is perfectly timed and super hilarious. This guy has a really peculiar hairstyle.

Tree Hair

bestdayforpizza

But we are not going to judge him. Who knows maybe he is an environmentalist and wanted to let the people know about the importance of trees.

Goalkeeping Goals

These cats are setting some serious goalkeeping goals for professional football players.

Goalkeeping Goals

sh3zza

We are sure there are two goalkeepers allowed in the cat football game.

Classic Dad Reaction

This picture shows the dad knew all along what was going to happen.

Classic Dad Reaction

burkybang

It is a beautiful picture that shows parenting can be fun as well (wink wink).

This little birdy is happy to find food and is ready to make a landing.

Ready to Land

TheChaf

This picture is super cute and we would’ve felt bad for not including it in our list.

Packaging Designs That Are Just Too Funny

Brenda Miller

Package design makes a huge difference in how a certain product is perceived, and some marketing teams out there are willing to go to great lengths to convince customers to buy something. Thanks to the internet, dissatisfied customers have started calling out several companies and demanding more transparent marketing. But even though some of these package designs may be mean, it’s undeniable that they are absolutely hilarious! Take a look at some of the funniest evil packaging fails ever!

The Biggest Letdown Ever

Just imagine buying your child (or yourself) a box of crayons that promises 150 pieces, only to find out that the whole thing was actually a marketing scam!

The Biggest Letdown Ever

Angel_Muffin

This person shared on Reddit how this box of crayons was probably one of the biggest letdowns ever. They realized that while the sticker on the box said 150, there were only 75 crayons inside, and there was nothing they could do about it.

Is This Pizza For Real?

There are some things out there that have gone beyond the point of being “bad advertising,” they are just straight-up lies.

Is This Pizza For Real?

drewsoulman

These pizza makers probably had too much fun creating a pizza that was more of a prank than a meal. They cleverly placed it in the box so that the unsuspecting customer would never be able to tell that there were only three pieces of pepperoni in there.

Sometimes People Just Need To Be Exposed

There are certain times in life when one just needs to take matters into their own hands, even if that means looking kind of crazy at the supermarket.

Sometimes People Just Need To Be Exposed

BobbySmif

After realizing that they had been deceived, this person decided to share their knowledge so that no one would have to experience the same. So they headed to the supermarket and started to turn packages upside down, to let other unsuspecting shoppers know what they were actually getting for their hard-earned money.

The Saddest Tray Of Cookies In The World

Just imagine buying yourself a tray of cookies, only to find that the tray has different sizes that fit different numbers of cookies. Now, we’re not saying that this was done on purpose, it could just be an honest mistake by the manufacturer.

The Saddest Tray Of Cookies In The World

phancylewell

But we can only imagine the frustration this person felt when they discovered they got far less cookies than what they bargained for. We just hope they weren’t too hungry!

A Half-Full Bottle Of Spice

The more we read, the more we realize that many products come with some pretty interesting catches. Take these spices, for example – thanks to their packaging, no one would ever suspect that half of that bottle is actually empty.

A Half-Full Bottle Of Spice

VA3Official

How many times have you bought something that looked full, but in reality, it wasn’t? So many people have fallen for this trick in the past, that this person felt the need to warn others. 

Where’s The Filling?

One thing is to make a mistake here in there, but to advertise perfectly beautiful and jam-filled cookies only to deliver what this person got? That just seems mean.

Where's The Filling?

green_buddha_cacti

There is barely any jam in the cookie after it was advertised as something so yummy on the package. This person was certainly right to share their disappointment all over their social media.

Just Make A Smaller Container Next Time

Over the years, we see more and more companies attempting to make a bigger effort to reduce waste and to decrease the use of chemicals in order to help save the environment.

Just Make A Smaller Container Next Time

u_gr3y

While some companies succeed at it, others don’t do so well. This person was really disappointed when they realized that an entire half of the bottle was empty. But thanks to the brilliant packaging, no one would ever be able to see it unless they ripped the plastic the way this person did.

“I Have Been Bamboozled”

Sometimes the deception is so well done that you almost want to give props to the people behind the packaging.

"I Have Been Bamboozled"

TicketOak23

They literally took a smaller pot, filled it with cream, and placed it inside the larger pot, to make it seem like the product had more than it actually did. There is no way that anyone could have ever known, so props to this person for sharing the truth with the world.

When The Tea Comes Face Forward

Here’s another piece of packaging that has gone beyond being a laughing matter, it’s just sad. Now we understand that there many strategies behind the way certain stores place their products. 

When The Tea Comes Face Forward

3cuas

Take this place for example. They deliberately placed the tiny bag full of tea in the front of the jar, to hide the fact that the rest of it was empty. Thankfully, this person was also not willing to be deceived and ended up exposing them completely.

A Bigger Bottle With Less Tablets

Now, we’re not really sure what’s happening here. We get that the bottle got some sort of upgrade, but their marketing person was either onto something here or they completely lost it!

A Bigger Bottle With Less Tablets

Connor121314

They literally began selling a smaller number of tablets in a much bigger bottle in what looks like an attempt to make customers believe they are getting more. It almost looks like an act made out of desperation.

When 27 Is Approximately 40

This person happily bought frozen pepperoni pizza snack rolls, only to find that the package actually had a little over half the number of pizza rolls they promised.

When 27 Is Approximately 40

BagelsRTheHoleTruth

And we’re glad they decided to put the entire thing on the tray. This way, they were able to see that the package did not in fact contain 40 pizza rolls. So, the next time we read “approximately” we better check out what’s actually in there.

A Roll Of Stickers That Isn’t Really A Roll

According to this customer who was obviously misled, products like this one are often falsely advertised. That wasn’t the first or the second time they fell for the little trick, so they decided to share their experience online.

A Roll Of Stickers That Isn't Really A Roll

not_james

So next time you need to buy a sticker roll, make sure to inspect whether or not the product is indeed what the package claims it is.

Just Enough To Fit On The Window

If there is one thing that is both hilarious and enraging, it’s this picture. This person was looking for a delicious snack, so when they bought the perfectly sealed package, they couldn’t wait to sink their teeth into what’s inside.

Just Enough To Fit On The Window

To their disappointment, the contents in the package didn’t exactly look right. In fact, it looks like more than half of the box is missing. What a shame!

A Pen That Was Made To Minimize The Use Of Plastic

Again, several companies around the world use the green argument without actually being sustainable. Sustainability has become a buzzword, but by the looks of it, not everyone is ready to own up to it.

A Pen That Was Made To Minimize The Use Of Plastic

This company was extremely deceiving when they vowed to reduce their plastic usage but didn’t actually follow through with it with this ridiculous, not really recycled pen. How upsetting!

A Staple Box With Almost No Staples

We have to say that whoever packaged this box did so in the most brilliantly deceiving way. Now, it probably wasn’t fun to be the customer in need of staples, but the person who did the packaging must have had a good laugh.

We hope that this customer went back to the place where they bought it and returned the entire thing.

Where Are All The Gummy Bears?

Here goes another strategy that seems to be very common in the advertising market. Take a generous-looking large box, but fill it only halfway. The result? Customers with an unfulfilled sweet tooth.

Where Are All The Gummy Bears?

How disappointing is it to open a box of delicious gummies only to find it’s half-filled with not-so-delicious air? We can’t imagine how upsetting this probably was for this candy lover.

Where Is The Missing Steak?

If this is not one of the most hilarious package designs out there, then we don’t know what is. Thankfully, before buying this steak, this person decided to check under the cover.

Where Is The Missing Steak?

Once they did so, they couldn’t believe their eyes! A huge part of the steak advertised was simply missing. If their instinct hadn’t told them that something was wrong, they would have gotten a very upsetting surprise when they got home from the grocery store.

100% (Not) Silk

Here is another tip–if a label says that the fabric is 100% something, take a look at what the inside says, too. Apparently, whatever the package says is not always the truth, even when it comes to a piece of clothing.

100% (Not) Silk

Gumder

This person sadly learned this lesson the hard way, after they opened the package only to learn that their “silk” item was 100% silk feeling, and not actually silk.

Disappointing Santa

It’s such a shame that several companies out there still use immense amounts of plastic, no matter how much this has been advised against by environmentalists and activists all over the world.

This company decided to ruin Christmas with an absurd case of false advertising. So much plastic for so little chocolate!

When Misleading Takes A Whole Different Level

Okay, here’s the thing. This package looks big, and whoever purchased it thought they were getting a lot of product. But that was until they turned it upside down.

When Misleading Takes A Whole Different Level

There is literally a whole lot of nothing in about half of this container, and we bet that most customers probably completely fail to notice it.

When A Package Design Makes A Kid Cry

This Reddit user’s daughter sadly understood a few harsh things about the world at a very young age with this package design. According to her mother, the little girl spent all of her money on this little bag that looked so colorful and promising at first.

When A Package Design Makes A Kid Cry

To her disappointment, the package was hiding a whole lot of nothing inside. Apparently, as soon as the little girl realized it, she began crying and claiming “this is not fair.” Poor girl.

“Bigger Size, Better Value”

Here goes another reminder not to take everything you see at face value, especially at the supermarket. Even if the bottle says better value, it’s not always the case as you see here.

"Bigger Size, Better Value"

In this case, this person figured out pretty quickly that the product they bought didn’t really come with better value for money. How unfortunate.

The Bucket Half Full

It may take you a few seconds to realize what’s happening here, but when you do, you’ll probably be left completely dumbfounded and probably very angry.

The Bucket Half Full

The person who bought it explained it in detail saying: “to make this bucket of constructor set look full, they put a paper cone inside with some constructor pieces printed on it to make it less noticeable.”  Now that’s just mean.

Where Are The Other 3/4?

Okay, this is another case where the person should have simply returned this product because there is no way that this is for real. The package is literally huge, and the actual amount of chocolates inside is ridiculous.

Where Are The Other 3/4?

iamtherealsuppaman

The person wrote on their Reddit post: “I want my other 3/4,” and we don’t blame them, they totally deserve to get what they paid for.

Get Two For The Price Of Three

While these companies probably get away with this kind of packaging on a daily basis, that doesn’t really make things less wrong.  However, we can’t deny that it’s a little bit funny. This person bought a pack of salami thinking they were buying three, based on the drawing on the outside, but that doesn’t mean they actually got what they thought they were getting.

Get Two For The Price Of Three

And we can imagine just how disappointing it must have been to find those two lonely salami pieces in there.

Another Half-Empty Package

Well, it’s safe to say that this will not be the first or last time that we’ll see this kind of hilarious packaging. In fact, it seems like it might be more of the norm than anything else.

Another Half-Empty Package

When this person got home, something about the granola they just purchased didn’t feel right, so they turned it upside down, and voila! The box of delicious granola turned out to be half empty, just like many other packages on this list.

Disappointment Beyond Measure

Imagine craving something sweet for an entire day, then going to the store to get yourself your favorite candy. But when you get home ready to indulge in sugary goodness, you open the package, and this is what you find.

Disappointment Beyond Measure

MisterKiko

This person’s disappointment was simply immeasurable–this package could not have been more deceiving. At least they spoke out about it online, and hopefully, they got to enjoy the little bit of the sweets that were actually in there.

Not So Homemade

We all know that certain companies attempt to convince customers that their product is something that it isn’t. This includes the amount of sugar in certain foods, whether or not they are homemade, and the list goes on.

Not So Homemade

Apparently, this manufacturer did their best to hide the word “factory” to make their product look homemade in a way that is simply hilarious. But the word factory is there, and clearly, the product is not homemade, so why advertise it this way?

They Knew Exactly What They Were Doing

Some of these misleading packages seem to be created by people who are some sort of experts in the field. Take this one for example. There is no way in the whole world that this was an accidental mistake made by whoever prepared this pizza.

They Knew Exactly What They Were Doing

The pizza was perfectly placed in the box, which means that they knew exactly what was being hidden in there.

What Would A Reasonable Person Think?

While this one may be a little bit debatable for some of us, it’s still confusing. Companies are required to keep what the reasonable person would think in mind when they design their products and packages.

What Would A Reasonable Person Think?

For real, whoever buys just one earphone? That is, unless they need to replace one that they lost. No matter what anyone says, there is something very fishy about this one.

“Not Suitable For Climbing”

This packaging design is not only misleading but also terribly confusing. The is literally a picture of a man climbing with a rope, which probably means most people would assume that this rope is meant for climbing.

"Not Suitable For Climbing"

Clearly, though, it’s crucial that the next time we buy any product of this sort, we take a thorough look at the fine print. This could actually be dangerous!

A Gummy Bear Cup That Didn’t Need To Be A Cup

All we can say is, how disappointing. It’s mind-boggling how some companies create such misleading products, especially when it comes to products meant for children.

A Gummy Bear Cup That Didn't Need To Be A Cup

Just imagine getting this for your kid only for them to get hugely disappointed. Instead of having a cup full of gummy bears, this cup only has some in the upper section.

Buy A Pack, And Get Two Hot Dogs “Extra”

It’s a good thing this person checked the package before buying it, otherwise, this would have been an infuriating discovery when they got home.

Buy A Pack, And Get Two Hot Dogs "Extra"

Apparently, this type of sale is pretty common in Russia, when the seller makes the impression that when you buy a package of something, you get something free. In truth, you’re just getting what you already paid for.

“12 Mini Rolls When Cut Into 4’s”

Okay, here is another package design that makes us wonder: how on earth did they think this was an ok thing to do? They literally claimed to be selling 12 pack sausage rolls, but in truth, the package only had three sausage rolls.

"12 Mini Rolls When Cut Into 4's"

bortina-badboy

It seems like their strategy is to recommend that their customers cut the thing themselves – how deceiving!
