NIGHTS OF BAGHDAD Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 keep in mind it may not be a fake, it could just be a generic version..and generic doesnt mean it low quality or standards..compaines are able to make generic versions of name brands soon has there patent expires..then they can use the same ingredients its just by a no name or low name company and its given generic label..

Stuie Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Man I can't believe they are trying to pull off selling fakes like that. That's just wrong. Especially since most people won't know it until they have the real stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
