I'm familiar with this product since I've demonstrated this product and seen it demoed by others. It is possible that the the photo for the box was doctored, but my opinion is that the photo is of a product that doesn't even exist. It would take some real good doctoring to get that the product really look like to look like what's on the box. No they are not made in China; State Fair is a brand name of "Sara Lee". Sara Lee has manufacturing plants throughout the U.S. and based in Downers Grove, Illinois. If you want a real reason not to buy them take a look at the nutritional information.

Essentially every product packaging photo is enlarged or enhanced to show detail as this one notes. Though the shape is not accurate, it clearly states that the photo is not actual size. Perhaps you should base your purchase value on practical information, such as the 30 ounce net weight that is prominently displayed on the box. What did you expect?

You're right, they aren't shaped like the ones on the box. Anyways, I recommend the ones with cheese in them. I eat these all the time. You're right, they aren't shaped like the ones on the box.
