LOL....I know. I was leaning towards the fact it doesn't have the writing on the sides AND doesn't have the dreaded number 7 on it (*which I think are probably fake ones, but again, not positive)

Probably going to have to go with fake on this one but again, I'm not 100% certain. The surface and printing just don't look right to me.

Me too but it was too late to stop the shipment ..I hate returns but I hate buying fake stuff, as real, even more.

There's a pretty good thread for determining authenticity of these wrappers here: Link
