Vietnam: What's not to love?

mealworms.

Here's the most amazing knockoff I've ever seen:
The box is beautiful. But a closer look has me completely stunned--the view inside the box is so at odds with the outside that the brain shuts down. Now, I've heard of getting away with copying by changing a word or two, but "Transformers: Revenge of the _allen" is pushing it. Inside is a toy that would shame a happy meal. It looks like it was whittled from a plastic egg carton, and even though it's sealed inside it is filthy. I can sort of relate--every time I gifted someone a Transformer I'd open it, play with it, and try to tape it back in the package, but at least I'd brush it off first.
