Preface
Even if consumers have been very careful, they will still be blinded by some "knockoffs" and cannot be prevented.
This can't rely on consumers, but those copycats are too realistic!
No, on May 9, there was a news on the Internet that "Copycat Jay Chou endorses Copycat Ice Tea", which caused heated discussions among netizens.
Jiupai News——2024-05-09——"Cottage Iced Tea Invites Copycat Jay Chou to endorse, bottle imitation Master Kong, manufacturer imitation Dali Garden, lawyer: maliciously causes consumer misjudgment, can report or sue merchants"
From the product, to the endorsement, to the brand, all of them are copycats without exception.
What's even more exaggerated is that the company involved also responded generously, saying that they had gone through the procedures, and the response of netizens simply made people "laugh to death" in the comment area.
It's not that Jay can't afford it, it's that Jay Zhoukou is more cost-effective
The course of the incident also starts with the shopping experience of a consumer in Liaoning.
The man took a bottle of drink in the store, and at a glance, he thought it was iced black tea endorsed by Jay Chou, so he took it.
But after leaving the store, the more he drank this texture and this taste, the more wrong it became, and it was not a familiar recipe at all.
However, when he took a closer look at the drink in his hand, he was directly speechless, how did the spokesperson "Jay Chou" become "Jay Chou"?
Looking at the manufacturer again, this bottle that looks no different from "Master Kong Ice Tea", why did the brand become "Dali Garden"?
This spokesperson is a copycat, and the bottle design is also a copycat, and netizens call this a "king of copycats"!
Speaking of "Jay Chou", because of his resemblance to Jay Chou, he became popular on the Internet and became an Internet celebrity, and he often posted some imitation videos by looking like Jay Chou.
The information comes from: "Zhou Kou Jay" - Douyin account
He also gained more than 300,000 fans with the likes of netizens, and his stage name was "Jay Zhoukou".
No wonder consumers have difficulty seeing the real and the fake for a while.
The name of the brand involved is Dali Garden Beverage (Liaoning) Co., Ltd.
When the incident began to ferment, many netizens went to the store to look for it.
I really found the iced black tea endorsed by Zhou Kou Jielun of Dali Garden Liaoning Company.
Everyone is shocked by the level of copycat of this product, won't this be sued for infringement?
Even some lawyers said that if it is a form of intentional misjudgment by consumers, they can report or even sue the merchant.
So netizens have set their eyes on Dali Garden Beverage (Liaoning) Co., Ltd., but when their response came out, it was simply "shattering".
This "Dali Garden" is not the other "Dali Garden"?
Speaking of Dali Garden, it is also the childhood that accompanied many people.
Small cakes and snacks have always been children's favorites, and even when they grow up, some people still like to eat them very much.
So after this incident came out, many people said they couldn't understand it.
Anyway, Dali Garden has been a big brand for many years, why don't you even have your own brand design, it's all copycats.
Some netizens even think that this wave of operations in Dali Garden is not lifting a stone to shoot themselves in the foot and ruining their reputation?
As soon as these doubts came out, Dali Garden's customer service responded to the reporter, and the results were shocking.
It turns out that Dali Garden Beverage (Liaoning) Co., Ltd. is not the Dali Garden that consumers think, and the full name of the authentic Dali Garden is "Dali Food Group Co., Ltd."
Isn't that Dali Garden Liaoning Company even a copycat brand name! This wave of operations simply made netizens unexpected.

But don't be in a hurry to be shocked, because the next operation of Dali Garden Liaoning Company is even more speechless.
The brand involved is also very backbone in the face of netizens' doubts.
The person in charge told reporters that their brand is not a copycat, but a regular dealer.
And the brand involved is already in contact with the lawyer and is ready to sue.

Not only that, the brand involved printed a big "CCTV CCTV advertising brand" on the bottle, which also attracted the attention of consumers, thinking that how could such a copycat brand have CCTV advertising.
In this regard, the brand involved also came up with relevant certification materials, and said that there were procedures for this.
After some inspection by reporters, the brand is called "Liangying", and it will be honorably broadcast on CCTV7 and CCTV17 in 2023.
And the brand also has a lot of products, in addition to the iced tea packaged by Master Kong.
There are also highly similar products such as "Green Plum Green Tea", "Little Cola", and "Pulse Jinshuang", all of which are easy to misunderstand.
But the products have one thing in common, that is, the spokespersons are all "Jay Chou" who looks like Jay Chou.
Faced with this situation, the comment area of netizens "fried the pot".
Laughed to death in the comment area of netizens
After the incident, in addition to Dali Garden Liaoning Company becoming the focus of people's attention, Zhoukou Jay Lun also successfully rose in popularity, directly increasing tens of thousands of fans.
And Jay Zhoukou also started the live broadcast, and in the face of netizens' inquiries, Jay Zhoukou also generously admitted that it was indeed a product endorsed by himself, and iced tea was for promotion.

This matter has also aroused heated discussions among netizens, and some netizens said that they can't afford to invite Jay Chou, but Jay Chou is still very cost-effective.
They also discussed their own experiences with the cottages.
A netizen bought a 4G mobile phone a few years ago, obviously it is a new mobile phone, but the more he uses it, the more he gets stuck.
It wasn't until later that I found out that I really bought a "4G mobile phone", because the name of other people's mobile phones is 4G mobile phones.
There are also many products that "play the edge ball", especially in some remote rural areas.
I often encounter this kind of product, such as the return to my hometown for the New Year.
As a result, as soon as you enter the supermarket, there are "Snow Thunder", "Nutrition Line", "Little White Rabbit Milk Candy" and so on, which are highly similar to the product packaging and names of well-known brands.
Some netizens said that they were used to such a situation, and if they didn't pay attention to buying something, they would encounter counterfeits.
But some netizens are very disgusted with this kind of thing.
Think that this kind of product is to deceive consumers and harm the people.
After all, they all spend money to buy, and they all want to buy some trustworthy old brands.
However, it is easy to fall into some "capital trap".
Netizens are discussing hotly, and the comment area is also varied, but it does reveal the voices of many consumers.
Whether the production quality of such counterfeit products and counterfeit products is qualified and regular is also of great concern to consumers.
