Life's deceptions
 
1. The variety box of biscuits which are padded up to make it look like there are loads when in fact they only contain two biscuits per layer.

2. Spirits and wines with that hollow bit in the bottom.

3. Bulky packaging containing much smaller quantities of goods.

4. 1p flights

Ok, I stretched the age a little:D but even when I knew, I still tried to kid myself. There's lots of dissent about religion here, but Father Christmas is the biggest fake in history.

Still love him though:p

5. When you get those countless beautiful e-mails, which says you've won a $1 Million lottery. Its only later when you realise they are just spam.

6. When you see an ad next to a mobile shop that promises Blackberry Storm for €1. Its only later you realise that, it is the initial payment and the rest you need to pay in installments. :sneaky:
