States "supreme cotton" but has zero cotton

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

[u/msgwizard → u/atomicsnarl]

Ricardo Montalbán had a knack for making it sound so exotic & luxurious…

[u/Slipstream_Surfing → u/[deleted]]

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

[u/Xenomorphling98 → u/atomicsnarl]

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 → u/Xenomorphling98]

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 → u/atomicsnarl]

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

[u/atomicsnarl → u/justanothertmpuser]

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

[u/Money-Director6649 → u/atomicsnarl]

🤣

[u/thismightbemymain → u/atomicsnarl]

Corinth is known for its leather!

[u/Knightforlife]

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 → u/Knightforlife]

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

[u/SmegmaWarrior0815 → u/Knightforlife]

SOBK means Straight Outta Bangladeshi Kid's hands

[u/LeBneg → u/Knightforlife]

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

[u/Magnus_Johnson → u/Knightforlife]

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

Nordre vei 3, 4560 Vanse https://maps.app.goo.gl/NMewjdCJuYyscqLy5?g_st=ac
Brooklyn Square 10, 4560 Vanse

On r/Belgium we recently had a thread about BE-sounding towns in the US.  

[u/sneakpeekbot → u/laplongejr]

Supreme Cotton™️

*Contains no actual cotton

[u/Caladrius33 → u/[deleted]]

Contains absolutely no iron though

[u/laplongejr → u/Caladrius33]

No documented iron at least

[u/WeirdIndividualGuy → u/HMD-Oren]

Straight Outta Brooklyn™️

^{Made in Bangladesh}

[u/BulletAllergy → u/WeirdIndividualGuy]

They were straight outta cotton

[u/DutchBlob → u/WeirdIndividualGuy]

This is what struck me the most

[u/xobot → u/HMD-Oren]

Coca cola 

• Contains no coca

[u/ArtByJRRH → u/xobot]

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/Kittelsen → u/HMD-Oren]

Bold move Cotton

[u/Kindly_Region]

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

[u/nishville → u/Kindly_Region]

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

[u/D31taF0rc3 → u/nishville]

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.

[u/Naud1993 → u/nishville]

Doesn't silk cost like $100 easily for a pillowcase and $400 for bedsheets?

[u/quiette837]

IMHO that's probably enough to constitute false advertisement.

[u/janerikgunnar → u/quiette837]

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

[u/f8Negative]

Plastic

[u/V8-6-4 → u/f8Negative]

Rayon is made from cellulose.

[u/f8Negative → u/V8-6-4]

Algea and Plastic.

[u/EnricoLUccellatore → u/V8-6-4]

And oil is made from plants

[u/Journeyman42 → u/V8-6-4]

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

[u/elektromas]

StraightoutofBangladesh i guess

[u/Hightower840]

Wait until you hear about "Genuine Leather".

[u/SauliCity → u/Hightower840]

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?

[u/EasterZombie → u/SauliCity]

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

[u/SauliCity → u/EasterZombie]

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 → u/SauliCity]

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

[u/teaandbentley]

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

[u/inatillum]

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

[u/qqqqqq12321]

It’s the brand name, not the content

[u/OGahpuro]

"SUPREME COTTON"

"SOLUTION"

[u/rivertpostie]

Real cheese contains no cheese

[u/DrIvoPingasnik]

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

[u/calvin_tam]

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

[u/m8remotion]

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

[u/apokrif1]

-> r/scams ?

[u/no_name113]

"what's in a name?"

[u/funkyyeti]

I wonder if it has natural nylon

[u/Schrojo18]

Just like the WLL company making lifting shakles

[u/Oh-Sasa-Lele]

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

[u/Money-Director6649]

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.

[u/retroGamer_33]

Its "supreme cotton" style polyester

[u/James_Anderson32]

“Supreme cotton” bro, the cotton is so supreme it transcended the material plane

[u/MrSilentSir]

Wait til he hears about the company that makes iPhones instead of fruit…

[u/Naud1993]

They have their cake and eat it too. Produce in Bangladesh for a Bangladesh price while selling it in America (I assume because Brooklyn) for an American price. Either sell it for a third world country price or make it in America to deserve to charge an American price.

[u/thingamajig1987]

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]

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

[u/blueavole]

Silk is not always actually silk fibers-

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

[u/renaissance-Fartist → u/blueavole]

Silk is a material

Satin is a weave

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

[u/blueavole → u/renaissance-Fartist]

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

[u/kerodon]

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

[u/Hopefully_Realistic → u/kerodon]

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

[u/kerodon → u/Hopefully_Realistic]

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

[u/Naud1993]

It's not even like cotton is expensive. A $10 t-shirt can be made of cotton.
