Kids vlog about misleadingly advertised inflatable pool

Brennan Donnellan and his kids bought a Banzai Alligator Pool and were surprised to discover that the photo on the box appears to have been populated by some little elves instead of full-sized kids. Rather than just take it back they decided to go all Internet on Banzai and share their disappointment as a cautionary tale. We love it. Check out the video they made:

Oh that was hilarious. Sad, but funny. I think those kids have a future in blogging or consumer advocacy!
And that little baby pool looked nothing like the box!
That is too cute! But really...how misleading is that picture! It’s like when you are 16 and your parents wrap up a Matchbox car as a gift.
The SAME thing happened to us with a water toy that we bought. Since I know Photoshop, I checked back on the package after I was surprised with the small size of the toy and found that the entire picture was photomontage!
Misleading and poor taste, that is my take on it.
That was so funny, I can’t stop laughing! Poor kids, but it does not surprise me coming from Kmart.
these manipulated photos seem to be standard with inflatable pools. I saw a lot of it when were were pool shopping and reading reviews on them. How is this not false advertising?
When you buy a box of cereal it will often have a photo of the food under which it says “photo enlarged to show detail” How come they don’t have to put a disclaimer on toys?
Good for you for sharing this with others! Bravo!!!
