Products for Idiots

posted 12 Jun 2012, 14:03

More than likely we have all bought really stupid products that are way overpriced. It points out how foolish we are with our money. What do you think are the worst things you can buy?
.
I'll start
.
$1-2 Bottled water
.
$5-6 Starbucks coffee
.
Think about it, the bottle costs more than the water itself and that's prolly less than 5 cents.
.
Even a cup of coffee that is $3 prolly uses about 10 cents in coffee product.
.
bring it..bad habits or consumer electronic accessories....lots out there...

Whores and crack, I really should cut back, but they are both so more-ish.

Also include all Apple products for the last 10 years. Nuff said.

Mens razor blades are one of the biggest cons going, first there was only the single blade version which lasted decades. Suddenly out comes the dual blade only to be superseded by Mach 3 (which I use BTW) although they're way too expensive for what they are. Currently on offer is the vibrating 5 blade Fusion, these are a ridiculous price & not that great really. All the manufacturers sell you the handle with a couple of blades at a reasonable price then rip you off with the refills.
I would grow a beard if it didn't itch so darn much.

Concert tickets here in our country. Sometimes they even cost TWICE as the regular monthly income here yet people are buying tickets like they're buying peanuts. I think it has become a fad here, seeing Facebook status like "I'm going to Lady Gaga's concert!" as if that makes them any better. AFAIK they won't eat to buy stuff like that. True story.
