No, not another penis thread.

(site may have NSFW content though, so I'd advise not visiting at work. I didn't notice anything NSFW on that particular page, but better safe than sorry.)
A German website, Pundo3000.com, has conducted a study of 100 different products by comparing the look of the products as shown by the packaging with the actual contents inside the boxes. Quoting the website, which is in German: “All products were purchased, the packaging photographed and the contents prepared and photographed too. All products were then eaten up.” and also: “The purpose of the project is not to discredit any brands or products but to critically compare the packaging advertising with the inside contents”.

I find this to be rather interesting. And it's a good reminder of why I learned to cook my own damn food. :)
