You're at the supermarket looking for a product you need, and there's only one left; unfortunately, it has a very visible printing error on the packaging. Would you buy it?

A few years ago, I worked making boxes for an unspecified product, and I was always told to remove any boxes with visible printing errors, no matter how small. Personally I've never cared about those types of errors on the products I buy, and I've always wondered if other people do. So?
 
People do because it's a potential indicative that the product is fake (third-world knockoff).

I don't really care because where I live this is not common, if it happens it's a clearly visible knockoff, or I can verify that it isn't because certain things need a seal of approval.
 
I buy it before the correctly printed one. If they fucked up on the packaging then the chances they fucked up the inside too are lower. If you buy the correctly printed one then they only have to fuck up once to fuck up the inside.
