Cataloging China’s Knock-Off Goods

corona.jpg

China’s “black market” is notorious for their awful rip-offs of other products. Amoni Exchange anyone? Pinches Chinos is a website which is focused on cataloging every piece of China knock-offs they can get their hands on.

From the stylish to the obscure, the results are hilarious. Whether they be specific attempts at ripping off another brand (such as the iFan or the Vii), or simply being lost in translation (such as our unleashing of the Sony scandal.) — Andrew Dobrow

It is truly an art form for them. So all this time, I’ve been drinking beer from China?

@Ben I dunno about that. Just make sure the label says Corona, not Cerono!

LOOKS REAL TO ME!! I SUGGEST YOU ICE THESE BABIES IN A BIG METAL TUB, THEN OPEN THEM AND POUR THE “CORONA” DIRECTLY INTO A CHILLED GLASS WITH A SLICE OF LEMON. YOUR GUEST WILL THANK YOU FOR YOUR HOSPITALITY. SALUD!!!
