False advertising
Strengths: CD's work as promised, but packaging is misleading to those not paying attention (read: ME)
Weakness: Makes 30 CD's look like 50.
The cd's work just fine, but Maxell apparently has resorted to deception to sell their product. I was in a hurry (my fault, I know) to get some blank music CD's. I saw the Maxell name on a large spindle and bought it because I thought it was a good deal.
Please see the attached image. To the left is the Maxell spindle I bought, compared to a Memorex package on the right that had the same # of CD's. Both contained 30 CD's, as the label says, but Maxell's packaging makes it look like there are 50+ CD's in it. What they don't tell you is that there's 3 foam donuts holding the 30 CD's up. Apparently I'm just the fool Maxell was looking for. I'll be much more careful in the future.
Did you find it helpful or unhelpful?
