One of the benefits of capitalism is that everyone has an equal shot at getting rich. (Theoretically, anyway.) All you really need is a great business idea.
Problem is, most of the great ideas are already taken, and it’s really, really hard to come up with ideas of your own. So, another benefit of capitalism is that you can steal someone else’s great idea, change it juuuuust enough to skirt a lawsuit, and go into business. You likely won’t get rich, and you probably won’t be able to sleep at night, but at least you’ll make a living! A living that’s entirely based on tricking people, but a living nonetheless.
Here are 15 brand knockoffs that hardly even tried to be different. Necessity is the mother of invention. And “not really giving a crap about anyone else” is the mother of the ripoff. (via Bored Panda.)
