Things you are amazed actually sell

[SuperGinger]

Waitrose own brand bin liners, and they always break, and when you get them out it's super easy to poke a hole in them.

Women's Jumpers whybpay forty quid for something that doesn't keep your butt warm? I spent four quid on some mens jumpers at the charity shop (pound each) they was and wear better and my bum is warm on the school run

It's those sprouts y'know...

Cake that has a sell by date of 3 months in the future. Proper cake, if any of it is left, would be stale within 2 or 3 days.

Tinned spaghetti.

Pasta n Sauce. Dried pasta that doesn't cook like pasta and always has crunchy bits no matter how long it's cooked for and covered in a nasty sauce.

Vacuum packed filled pasta.

Yes to Zoflora 🤢

@MissPiggysPinkDress eeeek 😃 they may have those too

Because you can microwave it in 90 seconds, vs a good 15-20 min for proper porridge on the hob with whole oats.

spoiler alert, you can microwave an individual portion of oats and milk/water in 2 minutes for the same result but nicer.

I could just about overlook the snobbish overtones of this thread which is basically about judging stuff that common people like

But I cannot let this slide. Tinned spaghetti is fucking glorious.

I'm giggling at Christmas bowels!

Any adult clothing that has a slogan on it or cutesy things like kittens or Minnie Mouse.

Yes, this always staggers me too!

I was in a shop once when a woman knocked over and smashed some of those bottles, the smell was so bad loads of people were heaving!

Because you can microwave it in 90 seconds, vs a good 15-20 min for proper porridge on the hob with whole oats.

I microwave my normal oats for two minutes and they're just fine. I do mine with water (1.5 times water to oats) then mix in some cold milk to achieve the right temp and thickness.

OMG - dh and I were staring at this open mouthed in our local garden centre yesterday! who the hell thought “I know, we’ll mass-produce a really ugly giant-nosed stuffed rat in a Christmas hat this year - I’m sure it’ll be a huge hit!”??

Its probably from the makers of that hideous creepy elf thing.

Mine is stuff like this “beer bottle top holder” that inevitably comes out every year presumably for people who haven’t a clue what to give the menfolk in their life - the kind of stuff sold on “not on the high street.com” that serves absolutely no purpose:

How the fuck are you taking 20 minutes to cook porridge on the hob? Are you using the hob in barbie’s kitchen?

The shops that only sell phone cases and vapes. It must be a front for something.

Yes to glittery wine glasses on Facebook that you can’t actually wash even if you do use them. Someone bought me a “rudolf” one once with googly eyes and a Pom Pom nose!

Expensive brownies through the post, someone near us sells them for £20 for 4 😵.

Money laundering.

@Kendodd
Yes, you have to add a raising agent if you sub oat flour for SR flour.

I agree. Most of the stuff only looks good en masse, and when you get them home they look a bit limp and sad.

I'm not a snob and I don't "judge common people". FFS I eat tinned Pek meat. 😂

Ornamental (I hope) picked things in weird shaped glass bottles - usually sold at xmas !

Would that be after the Christmas sprouts? 😱

Haha that's 90% of my wardrobe you've just slated 🤣

Agree with the Mrs Hinch comments though... I actively avoid anything with her name on. Sures she lovely and all but no thanks

Also I often wonder who buys all the lint rollers in IKEA. They seem to stock thousands of them. Surely you buy one and it lasts a decade?!

spot the person who doesn’t own cats 😁
