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.

😱 I love them! Must be me keeping jam tarts afloat 😅

People having surgery to make their bum bigger.

I so agree. Any additional chemical that gets sprayed into the air you are breathing ... just WHY?

@TheSnugglyDuckling no it's fortified with calcium and iron. V good for kids on dairy free diets for meeting calcium needs

I was shocked at how much a wee pot is, I know do cuttings and give them to family and friends, my garden has loads!!

Adult clothing with cartoon characters all over it.

All Day Breakfast in a tin.
🤮

You’re clearly not a pet owner! Our cat sheds everywhere - we use the lint roller on our bed every night as there’s always a big patch of fur there.

we get through hundreds!

Haha yes. Always end up in seconds shops.

I've never understood the point of it. Are we expected to think that Jamie Oliver has hand fired those plates? Maybe he oversees the production line?

Bags of ice cubes. I can sort of understand if you suddenly throw a big unplanned party; but I've heard and seen people who always buy a bag just to keep in their freezer. Do they not know the recipe to make their own?!?!

Also, thankfully on the wane now, but Playboy branded stationery for children. I presume a lot must have been bought (or sanctioned) by parents - and even if kids bought it with their own pocket money, you'd have thought the parents would notice and make it 'disappear'. Whoever thought that was a nice thing for their young daughter to take into school? Absolutely nobody would ever have dreamt of sending their child into school with 'Pornhub' branded stuff, but what's the difference in principle really? I suppose adults may have their personal opinion as to whether they consider one more subtle/stylish/sophisticated than the other.... but CHILDREN?????

I like that, I have a collection of mice/rat teddies that decorate the house.

Christmas ones are always popular because it bring to mind 'not a creature was stirring not even a mouse' for people.

There was a white wine and mushroom Pasta N Sauce which they discontinued about 20 years ago. I still miss it.

If I was impatient it would still be crunchy! It would stick to the pan horribly too.

Once when I was studying I found I had no milk in the house so made it with watered down Coffee Mate....

Nothing wrong with tinned spaghetti or any of these things

Readybrek used to contain salt and sugar and was lovely. Now it is just oats.

Celebrity branded stuff, especially influencers. Mrs hinch cloths and Joe wicks Tupperware for example. It's so cringe.

Also, 'novelty' celeb autobiographies supposedly by fictional characters (not the actors who play them). Aleksandr Orlov, Del Boy and the like. I would also add greetings cards with Del Boy on them, saying "Have a triffic birthday" or other tedious variations on 'cushtie' or 'lovely jubbly'. Maybe 20 years ago, but who is still seeing them in card shops and being so taken by their originality, hilarity and up-to-dateness that they actually go on to hand over money in exchange for them?

I have a cat so they don’t last long at all 😂 we run out of sticky. plus I have them all around the house and lose them

Chromebooks. You can buy an actual budget (or half-decent refurbished) laptop for the same price. I can only assume that people believe the adverts that tell you how good they supposedly are.

Also, those £20-£30 supermarket phones that just do not work. Likely also bought by very inexperienced users who think they should probably 'get with the times'. Again, much easier to get a basic cheap used phone that actually works from CEX or similar.

@Staryflight445
If you shop at Asda. Asda's own brand in dark turquoise/green packaging are non-scented, good quality and cheap

@chaosmaker
I unfortunately make sure by sniffing them before I buy them 😶and have made previous boyfriends do the same when sent to retrieve 😅

He's right! That's just what it's like.

The hideous xmas ornaments in The Range - the multi coloured ones that turn and play music. A bargain at £50

Scented loo roll is horrid. That perfume can't be good for a nether region.
Andrex is shockingly bad compared too what it used to be like.
It is all inner cardboard roll and mean, thin paper.
Used to be lovely and soft , with generous sized rolls.

Cot bumpers - should have been banned from sale years ago.

To be fair if I was to buy say a biography of David Lister I would expect it to be by Doug Naylor or Rob Grant not Craig Charles (as much as I love Craig) because they are the people who invented the character and all his backstories not the actor who played him.

God my local charity shop which usually stocks nice things is full of these in all different sizes !

I was maybe ambiguous with how I phrased that - I meant any 'autobiography' supposedly by a fictional character, as opposed to a genuine autobiography by a real person e.g. autobiography of David Jason or of John Sullivan: fine; 'autobiography' of Del Boy: not fine! Also, a MEERKAT?!?!?!?!?!
