    We all know serving sizes are a lie. Here’s another one. You’re browsing the hair dye aisle because you have more grey than actual colour these days and it takes you awhile before you finally make a hopefully rightful choice. End result is NEVER what is indicated on the box.

    What are some other lies we are told?

      The look on people’s faces (in commercials) when they get into a new car.

      Sure it’s cool, but not euphoric.

          There is so much chewing involved in salad eating.

        Yes. Those ads with the latest burger some cunt’s tryna flog looks like a mountain with lashings of bacon. When you get it, there’s 2 scrawny bits and looks like it’s been slam dunked into the bag.

      How good a maccas burger looks on tv and how big it is but in reality they’re super small.

      Also the perfect basket of french fries.

      Nope, didn’t get that either.

        I said the same thing to Spinny!

        My burgers come out huge yet the burger places burgers look like someone has run over them.

      The Twelve Apostles along the great ocean road is an egregious lie. I demand a refund.
