Subway 12 inch? They are not alone in the "really not what you see" world.

Subway has released a statement declaring that their footlong subs are only 11 inches long, because "footlong" isn't supposed to be a measurement of length.  Which sounds ridiculous, but here are 10 OTHER things  that don't  seem to be what they are.

 

  #1.)  If you buy a TWO-BY-FOUR at the lumber store, it's not really two inches by four inches . . . it's one-and-a-half inches by three-and-a-half inches.

 

#2.)  Those big mouth watering burgers you see on TV.  They are never that big and tall when you buy one.

 

#3.)  90% of Ice Cream commercials on television?  Thats actually a scoop of  Mashed Potatoes as real ice cream would melt in the lighting needed for the shot.

 

#4.)  Immitation crab meat you buy in the store is actually pieces of bottom fish (Sole, Cod, etc)

 

#5.)  A two man camping tent? it's really a good single person tent.

 

#6.)  A Truck Camper like mine here in picture  says sleeps 5  Adults (3 really at 6 feet tall and 5 if you are 5'4" Tall and no more than 27 inches wide). I love my camper by the way and knew this when I bought it.

 

#7)   How many times we see the late night  AS SEEN ON TV commercials and make a purchase?  Did it really perform and deliver the results like on television?  All is saved with the disclaimer  (results may vary)

 

#8)  Many years ago how many  radio stations that said they are giving away a million dollars?  Did you ever hear of a winner?

 

#9)  The FMS Radio set. Transmit 25 miles between the two units?  I did get 1 mile.

 

#10) A can of Pork and Beans, all those beans and one little chunk of pork?
