Whatever happened to truth in advertising???

[maplesky7]

That is funny. I just saw that one myself and thought...wow, what a good price for one that size.

Guess again huh?

Yes, it had the sizes, not that I was smart enough to read them.

Even if I had read them, I don't know that I would have comprehended how small it really was.

Maplesky,

That was my thought exactly!! Wow! That's a great price for that size pool!

Oh well....

You know it isn't surprising given the company. We bought one of the big slides they make and so did my BIL both slides rotted the first year and those stupid things aren't cheap. Bad company!

 

[maplesky7]

I didn't read the size... I was just going on what the pic looked like and thought it was big for 20 or 30 dollars was it? I forget.

But the huge ones are like several hundred and I thought...wow...look at all those kids...that's pretty decent...and the slide looks decent sized...

but now looking at your 3 yr. old in it....what a rip.

Why not report this to the FCC? They are the ones that regulate advertising and this is an obvious case. So sorry!

That's good to know, because my DH wanted to buy a huge one for her next year. Good to have some ammunition not to!!

We paid $30 for this one. I don't think I would have paid ANYTHING for it if I had known how small it is. There's just too much work setting it up for too little play value!

That's a good idea, thank you!

 

[maplesky7]

I know and look...if her legs were straight like the boy in the picture...she'd be sitting at the top of the slide.

 

[SpringChickens]

I hadn't even noticed that!! That would really show off how small it is!

Oh, but I think my DUCKS might like it! $30, though, is a LOT for that size!!! I hate false advertising!!
