For me it's Morning Fresh. I thought it was shite a decade ago. Bought it again recently and it is still crap. It doesn't lather and my usual Aldi own brand is far superior. How on earth has it survived this long?

Heinz beans. DC had them on a meal at a play gym the other day and I honestly thought they were the cheapest of cheap beans.

I don't know what Morning Fresh is, but Dubarry boots should not be considered premium, they are shite and I feel burned from buying a pair. They are so heavy and leak.

Morning Fresh is washing up liquid by Cussons. Their soap is fab though

I don’t understand what the fuss is about Clark’s children’s shoes. Not cheap enough to be cheap, yet shocking quality. Only fractionally cheaper than Start Rite, Geox, Ricosta and other brands which will last a whole school year.

I love my Dubarry boots. 4 years old and not a single leak!

Pandora - my daughter loves it though.

Havianna flip flops. Rip off. Super uncomfortable. £6 Asda flipflops were much more comfy.

Nike shoes. Maybe not premium for some people but at $200 a pair in Australia they are a rip off. My boys always want them, then they fall apart within a month! Used to be way better quality when I was a teen.

Dyson. My Swan hoover is much better and so much cheaper

Hunter wellies. Overpriced rubbish these days. Used to be well made - not any more.

I wouldn't class morning fresh as premium.

It's a brand, yes, but it has always been cheap.

Agree although primark £2 ones are super comfy!

Dyson anything. I bought a hot/cool fan which an Argos fan at £19.99 outperforms.

Badedas bubble bath. Was posh when I was growing up and I bought it for sentimental value a few months ago. Bathing in fairy liquid would have been a step up.

Morning Fresh ! , sorry you had me chuckling away. It's my dirty, filthy mind.

Land Rover & Range Rover SUVs. Unreliable, badly built, poor quality junk.

They may look good & be fantastic off-road in theory, but nobody ever uses them for that purpose because they are always in the dealer’s workshops having yet another electrical fault fixed. Or not fixed, if the entirely useless dealership in my area is typical.

Heinz ketchup. Tesco is much nicer.

Actually anything Heinz except the salad cream. If they would stop messing with recipes it would still be a good premium brand but it ain't what it used to be.

Hotel Chocolat I used to love but I'm not sure it's all that nice now. The alcohol ones are barely edible the alcohol is so strong in them.
