This is exactly what was ordered, there's absolutely nothing to indicate this is a "TripAdvisor edition".
I don't consider licensed themes like a "LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean" set to be ads, or at least if it is its more like some sort of "mutually beneficial" ad. Those are actually cool or neat or themed in something of interest that has a fan base like a show or movie. Some random logo of a website/service slapped all over is not that.
Interesting, apparently been spammy for years
On the backside of the box, there is microscopic branding for TripAdvisor on one of the cards. There is also a closeup photo of the cars that shows the TripAdvisor logo a couple of times across the board design. These could easily be missed by someone who wasn’t looking for them. The branding should have been more clear and the producer likely did mean to deceive. Always check the reviews before buying and take note of the manufacturer’s specific ID number or code for the product.
I’ve almost entirely stopped purchasing online unless I am familiar with the specific product or I have watched a thorough review of it. If you had the box in your hands, you’d be more likely to spot the branding on the back, and the side faces might have branding too.
There are fringe instances where the outward distinctions between manufactured products are so trivial that you’d really have to be in the know to differentiate between them. The only occurrence that I can think of which I’ve experienced is buying CDs that have the swear words censored vs. uncensored.
I agree that the other commenter’s analogy doesn’t make sense with the packaging/marketing context.
Damn, that's a bad look. I just assumed it was the tripadvisor edition because one existed. It sounds like this is a stealth "Amazon edition" that's different than other retail copies. I wonder what the agreements were that lead to this edition?
That huge presumptuous rant though.
The fact that 8 relatively short sentences are considered a "huge rant" speaks ill to your level of literacy. But you do you.
