Degraded and Fake Products
That’s what you find in the stores these days. Once I bought a Parachute Coconut Oil from a local supermarket which ended up being fake and I went to return it to them. How did I know it was a fake? It’s quite simple to identify, first of all it will smell differently (Yeah I have a very strong nose) then mostly in cases of coconut oil the fake oil looks a bit dirtish (new word!) yellow. These fakes are very cheap and they increase the profit margin of the wholesaler who switches the original and gives this to the retailers. It’s not very common in supermarkets but is very common in the general store next to your house (I guess you got what I meant). I once read in Outlook I believe that most of the well known products have fake counterparts and some even cheat by the name of the product like you go to buy Vicks (a balm used when having cold) and you get the same packaging and stuff but with name Nicks or something like that. When you ask the shop-keeper he replies that they are the same and most of the people believe it. Mostly these fake products are adulterated or have wrong and untested things which may end up giving you some or the other disease. In some cases the sachets of shampoos are changed with same names but with different contents which may even be harmful to you hairs. This is the most common way some people fake. So next time you buy anything check if its original or not or atleast check the expiry date of the product.

You get a lot of these fakes in Toffes and Chocolates , the most original looking fake product i found was a remake of ” Dairy Milk ” named as “Deary Milk ” with the colours and the covering all the same .

Hell yeah. Fake smells, my boyfriend went to Arsenal v Blackburne yesterday at the new Emerites Stadium, he swears that the smell of delicious freshbaked pizza was been fed into the seating auditorium. Meanwhile he could see people around quaffing this soggy pizza type mess, however he’s convinced that the lovely homely pizza whiff could not be that of the sodden thick crust soggo! He has been know to conspiracty theorize but I would not be surprized if fake smells were being used.
A couple of years ago at top department stores one could get cologne in the smell of dirt, cucumber, tomato, mould even, every smell u could thing of. So knowing the natural progression from avant gard to mainstream we are thinking that it is a liberty and we will not be duped any more. We are gonna ring Arsenal on Monday morning pronto. janx
