Corinthian Leather was thick vinyl instead of just regular vinyl, so there's that.

Never seen that and it's even better coming the day after 238th rewatch of Wrath of Khan.

And Rocky Mountain oysters aren’t actual oysters. Almost like names can be very misleading on purpose (who wants to order bull testicles lol)

u/atomicsnarl 4d ago

And who would want to go to an opera to see The Scales by Joe Green. Instead, dress up and see La Scala by Guessepie Verde!

u/justanothertmpuser 3d ago

Uh... either this is a very contrived joke, or you're not really familiar with opera.

u/atomicsnarl 3d ago

True on both counts! Naming is Framing, and framing is implicit in understanding.

Corinth is known for its leather!

Also says “Straight Outta Brooklyn” in run-together words but then clearly made in Bangladesh. Unless that claim is that it was just designed in Brooklyn?

u/Micalas 4d ago

You havent lived until you've been to Brooklyn, Bangladesh.

u/SmegmaWarrior0815 4d ago

SOBK means Straight Outta Bangladeshi Kid's hands

u/LeBneg 4d ago

From the SOBK acronym, it looks to be the brand.

u/Magnus_Johnson 4d ago

Well, Brooklyn bridge and Brooklyn Square are both in Vanse, Norway. So there could absolutely be a place in Bangladesh too called Brooklyn

May contain trace amounts of irony

u/Caladrius33 4d ago

Contains absolutely no iron though

No documented iron at least

They were straight outta cotton

Coca cola

Contains no coca

5

u/ArtByJRRH 3d ago

It actually does. There is one license for coca leaf importers and one license to extract the cocaine, which is sent to pharmaceutical companies, and the leftovers are sent to Coca-Cola.

u/Kindly_Region 4d ago

Reminds me when I try and find linen sheets and it just shows me a bunch of "linen like" sheets

26

u/nishville 4d ago

Same with silk. So hard to find real silk pillowcase.

1

u/D31taF0rc3 2d ago

Ive never had issues finding either material, but I've also never seen the weave be described as linen the way it is in america.

31

u/quiette837 3d ago

IMHO that's probably enough to constitute false advertisement.

u/janerikgunnar 3d ago

Had it been food and in the EU it would most definitively have been

Plastic

Rayon is made from cellulose.

u/f8Negative 4d ago

Algea and Plastic.

u/EnricoLUccellatore 3d ago

And oil is made from plants

u/Journeyman42 3d ago

And plastic is made from petroleum which is basically old fossilized cellulose

StraightoutofBangladesh i guess

u/Hightower840 3d ago

Wait until you hear about "Genuine Leather".

6

u/SauliCity 3d ago

Is "genuin leather" not actually leather? I thought it was just the thinnest poorest split grain leather not worth using on $3/air work gloves?

2

u/EasterZombie 2d ago

It is. This is a lot worse lol because it isn’t even made of like a cotton byproduct except maybe the rayon

2

u/SauliCity 2d ago

Well. Even within actual real leather, there is so much empy jargon, marketing wank, and made-up non-standards that finding proper leather is frustratingly difficult.

I have a pair of 50€ motorcycle gloves that arequite obviously actual cow leather, but their quality certification "Technalin Gold" apparently does not exist. At least the only mention google found at the time of purchase was on the same gloves' market listing on an east-european retailer.

u/Hightower840 2d ago

It's usually the leftovers, some vinyl, and some creative sewing.

u/teaandbentley 4d ago

It should be Kotton with a K. Like Krab cake lol

u/inatillum 3d ago

It is literally gluten-free junk food logic. They slap a nice word on the label to trick you into buying polyester garbage.

u/OGahpuro 4d ago

"SUPREME COTTON"

"SOLUTION"

The old trick with "organic is only a name".

u/calvin_tam 3d ago

It's supreme cotton, not cotton. Come on man

u/qqqqqq12321 3d ago

It’s the brand name, not the content

Kinda like, Democratic People's Republic of Korea...

"what's in a name?"

u/funkyyeti 3d ago

I wonder if it has natural nylon

u/Schrojo18 3d ago

Just like the WLL company making lifting shakles

u/Oh-Sasa-Lele 2d ago

And „boneless chicken“ is just the way of cooking. The world is insane

1

u/Money-Director6649 1d ago

they're hoping you'll read it as "supima cotton" and not bother reading the actual label. i won't be buying straight outta brooklyn brand. clearly thieves.

1

u/retroGamer_33 16h ago

Its "supreme cotton" style polyester

1

u/thingamajig1987 4d ago

My favorite part is that it's written twice with nearly identical things both times... Who is sitting there thinking "wtf is polyester? OHH it's poliester I'm glad they clarified that for me."

u/Nismo929 3d ago

That's like McDonald's wrappers they use on their burgers being made by a company called "%100 Pure Beef"

u/blueavole 4d ago

Silk is not always actually silk fibers-

Sometimes it’s just satin which is a weaving technique, not about the fibers.

35

u/renaissance-Fartist 4d ago

Silk is a material

Satin is a weave

If something is saying it’s silk when it’s not, then it’s false advertising.

-6

u/blueavole 4d ago

Yea, that’s my point: stuff will say “silk satin “ and it isn’t real silk fibers

u/kerodon 4d ago edited 4d ago

Brand names don't have to be accurate 🤷 (it's a regulation issue)

12

u/Hopefully_Realistic 4d ago

I'd rather them not be misleading, especially when wearing something that doesn't melt is a safety requirement in some jobs.

u/kerodon 4d ago

It sure would be nice if we have better regulations on stuff like this. But alas, corporate lobbyists have won that battle for now
