What is the funniest knock off product or store you have ever come across? When I was traveling out of state when I was a kid I came across a Red Rooster Pantry which sounded an awful lot like one of those now defunct White Hen Pantry’s. It was pretty funny.

We have a Dr. John's. (adult toys and sex stuff, or so I have heard.) It happens to be right next door to a store called Ministerial Alliance Thrift Store staffed by a lot of very elderly volunteers.

It was funny to me when I found out that Hydro cookies are actually the original, and not Oreos. I always thought it was the other way around.

I was in a gallery of authentic Pacific West coast First Nations Art. Works were hundreds and thousands of dollars. Next door is a knock off place with prints of bad hacks and fake reproductions. I laughed at first. Then wanted to cry. So sad the tourists clamoring over the crap which actually amounts to stealing the Arts and culture of the local indigenous communities. Pity.
