'Does what it says on the tin' - or not!

[Pumpkin2010]

When you go to a 'fast food' drive through but you end up sitting in the car park waiting for 10 minutes. Not so 'fast food' then.

Or when M&S say their school shirts are 'ultimate non-iron' but somehow everyday they're still creased to hell (even after being in dryer) - therefore obviously not 'non-iron'.

AIBU to be annoyed at these blatant lies??!

Anyone else have any examples of when it 'doesn't do what it says on the tin'?

To the PP that mentioned quick dry nail polish- it says it's dry to touch, but still takes 10 minutes. So it's a bloody con.

Vanish saved DP's white T-shirt that ended up covered in pumpkin juice!

But yes to the peel here tabs.

John Frieda Frizz Ease.
It didn't !!
Any 'softer' butter. Same as ordinary butter.

48hr deodorant. Who can get away with deodorant only every other day?!

Aldi's fake lurpack which states spreadable on the carton.
If it has to say spreadable it isn't spreadable. Ha! happy. DP begged me not to buy this when we were on an economy drive as he declared it weird stuff 'that sticks to bread nor knife'. I had to agree so we switched back to normal butter kept at room temp. Spreads just fine.

Iscream in with you on the Vanish! Never works for me.

Also whoever mentioned the severing suggestions for cake; I'm a cake fiend so it normally ends up all in my belly (serves 8 my arse)

Had to re-read at severing suggestions I got a tad confused

"Serves five" - two table spoons of mash??

Kungfu urgh, I usually double check but very tired today! Sorry about that .

Agree with the Pp who mentioned those colour run removal sachets - total rubbish! I totally ruined a beautiful dress doing this when the colour run may have eventually faded out on its own!

On the other hand, I swear by those colour catcher sheets you stick in the wash for prevention though!

I found that the colour catcher sheets discolour my clothes really badly, but 90% of them are black so that may be why.

"Open here" said the tag on the box for the greaseproof paper. Did it work? Did it fuck! I ended up wrestling for about 5 bloody minutes attacking it in turns with scissors, a knife and plain old ripping. I won in the end but I have a paper (cardboard really) cut and I've reopened the cut from my fight with a black bin liner.

I'm not made for this cruel world!
