    Best two euro shop tat I ever saw was a horribly fake harry potter doll with ginger hair.

    It was in a box called Harry Petter with the 'e' made to almost form an 'o' so it looked like 'Harry Potter' unless you looked really closely.

    i know old spiice is typically an old mans after shave but they have tried in recent years to revamp their brand with a white water old spice aimed at younger folks

    anyway now that u mention it theyre colgate toothpaste boxes actually do look weird,the printing on the boxes just doesnt look right if u look closely at it

    where do these shops get their gear and is it likely all counterfeit?
    the colgate wasnt counterfeit, it was just imported from countries where they were still testing the ingredients or whatever? and the ingredients are banned here for health reasons! i think.
    nearly certain though that the writing is Arabic!

    and no word of a lie here! - first time i seen the tube of paste in the house, first thought - "am i fek usin that" few weeks later it all broke on the news!:D

    God... imagine how bad the condoms in the pound shope are!? In the pound shop in Maynooth about 3 years ago they were stocking 3 packs of curry flavoured Durex for 2euro... I **** you not!

    well i suppose men would save money by not having to buy a girl a curry to woo her after the pub!


    I bought a pack of decorations at christmas with santa on them didnt realise till i had put them up that santa was either dyslexic or disapproving of something as it said "oh oh oh" :P

    also the one in cavan was selling 2 pregnancy tests for €3 during the summer i wonder if there's any girls walking around wondering why they can't lose the christmas weight:D

    I bought lynx showergel for €2 a bottle in Euro2 as opposed to something like €3.50 in a normal supermarket.

    By any standard that is a substantial bargain

    Just pay for it with a fake €2 coin. Then nobody is cheated.
    20 Kenyan Shilling or 10 Thai Bhat might work too
