How do you know when a product or brand has become a force to reckon with? Why, when their cheap, generic knockoffs start showing up, of course!
Starbucks has Sunbucks, Apple changed to a pear, Sony to Sonia... Umm, you get the point.
Laugh all you will, but many of these ‘knockoff’ brands that we’ve scoffed at over the years are all the rage – both in our Indian supermarkets, as well as across the globe.
Here’s a sneak peak at some of the hilarious yet clever rip-offs of a few iconic brands.
Forget Apple, Own a Pear Instead
We believe the ad team here just didn’t care whether or not they got fired.
PIMA, That’s Right
It’s got the animal. He’s got the swag. What else do you need?
Sunbucks
That’s a horrifying face – even for a ‘Starbucks’ rip-off.
Dolce & Banana
LOL, puns.
Sony Nahi Sonia
Perhaps Sonia is this headphone model’s name.
Nokla
Play on the word ‘Nakli’? Too close for comfort.
