The sincerest form of flattery? Bizarre photos reveal the world's worst knock-offs (but can you tell what they are supposed to be?)
- A hilarious new gallery has revealed some of the world's worst knock-offs
- Many companies have made slight changes to logos to avoid copyright
- Elsewhere two contrasting brands have been put together in bizarre mash-ups
They say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery - however, we doubt that brands are all too happy about these knock-offs.
A new online gallery has revealed the world's most hilarious, and unsuccessful counterfeit goods.
In many cases companies have tried to bypass copyright laws with slight changes to a logo with a certain Italian plumber taking on the name Super Mary and a cosmetic brand going by 'Dave'.
In some cases the brand name is a far cry from the product with an iPhone 6 Plus wrapper containing an ice lolly and a packet of toilet roll dubbed 'Google'.
Other famous icons receive a mash-up with a Harry Potter DVD cover featuring characters from Disney's Enchanted.
