Such as “money can’t buy happiness” or “what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger”. Generally a false adage or something like that. All I could think of was “fallacious bumper sticker” which just sounds stupid.

So, I looked into that because I was wondering where it came from, and I can’t find any references to that ever being used like that. As far as can find in the references on Wikipedia, that saying has meant something like “family is closer than friends” for at least 800 years.
Similarly, “great minds think alike” also got a “but fools seldom differ” addendum very recently that some people like to claim was part of the original saying.
