Default Are Poundland "Duracell" batteries fakes?

Andy ha escrito:

Poundland (in the UK) sells a set of three AAA Duracell Plus batteries
for £1.

The batteries are sold in a blister pack The cells seem to have all the
small print of a genuine Duracell on. However the backing card of the
blister pack has some nondescript brand name on it and makes no
reference to Duracell.

Are these real Duracells?

If not then why would a known chain like Pouldland really try to
deliberately pass off counterfeit goods as the real thing?


I've often seen imported pepsi,


Yes, but 4 cans for £1 is not the cheapest you can get. Lidl often have
5 cans for £1 offers.

Bough energy saver (neon) bulbs for £1 at Poundland. Problem was they
gave out a horrible clinical cold light as in a mortuary or something.
But soaps and tooth paste cheap. You win some - lose some.
