Food lies:

I've recently encountered two products that purported to contain 'dark' chocolate, but the taste was somehow off. I found out that the chocolate's cocoa solids content is a measly 35%, so I felt cheated, and I suspect they also used some artificial flavourings that just don't taste like chocolate should.

Toilet paper lies:

We recently bought a megapack of loo roll, by a well-known brand, only to find out that it was perfumed. Yuck. Nowhere on the packaging did it mention this fact!

Lies told to new parents:

Two different neighbours - living in the same house, one floor below us - told us they hadn't heard the baby at all. I don't believe this for one minute as we had two nights with quite a bit of screaming. Maybe it's just something you say when you mean Yes, we heard the baby scream, but it calmed down after a while, so we weren't kept awake the whole night, so let's be polite and pretend we didn't hear anything. Honestly, we can hear our downstairs neighbours sneeze, so it's impossible that our noise doesn't reach them.

I must say I prefer the politeness lies to the retail lies!
