If there is one universal truth in retail, it’s that for every wonderful product on the market there are bound to be several terrible knock off brands attempting to fool people into parting ways with their hard-earned cash. Sometimes these knock off brands are obvious at first glance; other times you won’t even notice that you’re wearing a cheap imitation until you wear it out and about in public.
Online, people love to mock these badly made knock off brands every chance they get. Reddit has several subreddits where millions of subscribers share and laugh over the best and weirdest knock off brands on the market. Here’s a small sampling of the best of the worst.
