The worst are items that are photoshopped not just into a background, but containers holding things that are the wrong scale. The other day I saw some 1.5oz shot glasses with a drink with 3 or 4 lime slices floating in them. The person editing that clearly had no idea the scale of the item they were editing in the first place.

The best one for me was a photoshop of elderly lady casually handling a 300lb pack lithium server rack battery.

Yes exactly! It baffles me so much because I could at least understand if they did it only in cases where bigger is better -- deceitful, but there's a logic to it.

But nobody wants a shot glass the size of a whiskey tumbler. That's not going to drive sales of shot glasses.
