Nothing is really ever the same as advertised and people don't seem to mind. You see commercials all the time on television where they advertise about something like food especially, how good they make it seems but,when you go buy it you won't get the same. I mean like a hamburger for instance I bet when you bought it,it didn't taste or look as good as it did on T.V. or how they make hair products that make your hair look so silky and beautiful and long,so, you go out to buy it thinking it's going to do the same for your hair and nothing happens. Or, when you were looking at the sales paper on Sunday Morning, you saw some clothes, shoes, or a piece of furniture, or a appliances for your kitchen it didn't look the same as it did in the paper, even the paint for your kitchen it didn't look the same as it did in the paper, even the paper,even the paint for the house the color is wrong, and we rush out to buy it only to be disappointed because it wasn't what we expected false advertising people don't seem to mind.

Do we ever really get what we expect? no,I don't think we do. Can we really rely on these ads without getting mislead, I know this is how they get their business, but, it's almost like something being to good to be true, and when you get there, there's always some kind of catch, because, they've over exaggerated to get you to buy something because, they know when you get there you want change your mind and say no, "I really don't like it", and most of the time they're right, how many times have you purchase something because you got talked or tricked into it, and they're counting on the fact that they can talk you into buying to item or merchandise every time.

Consumers are mislead so much, you can be driving down the street and see signs in a window about getting something free, and we all know nothing is really free there's always some sort of catch to it or it's more than you taught it would be, free is just a word to get you to come inside.

You also see signs and ads about trips and vacations to warm places like the Virgin Islands, or the Bahamas, or Jamaica, and you've probably received phone calls about trips you've won, but, when you get there it's not like you were told and it's not free, the hotel is not right or they don't have your room or there's some hidden fee you didn't know about you're going to have to do something in order to get this trip or vacation, or you have to leave at a certain time so you won't be charge additional
