Food Scams That Would Leave Anyone Feeling Betrayed

False advertising is never cool, but there's something about false food advertising that kinda next-level stings.

On r/foodscam you'll find tragic lies involving pizza, sandwiches, and even "crookies" - cookies that are woefully misrepresented in their packaging. We've put together some of the more horrifying crimes against consumers from the subreddit, but there's loads more where these come from.
