Brands you think are overrated (lighthearted)

[PoodlesRUs]

Branston
McDonald's
Mulberry

Cadburys
Thorntons
Andrex
Burger King

Sweaty Betty
Heinz
Pret
Wild (deodorant - just cannot get on with it and it's fiddly)

Farrow & Ball

Tony's Chocolonely

Purdy and Figg or whatever it’s called?

Next clothing.

Never understood the appeal.

Dyson

Heinz
Philadelphia cream cheese (which literally tastes of nothing)
BMW
Volkswagon Audi
Vanish (old fashioned washing soda is infinitely more effective)
Costa
Sky TV (unless you like sport, I suppose)
TikTok
Nespresso, Tassimo (just buy some decent fresh ground coffee and a cafetiere and save the world's landfills from all those horrid like pods)
Cathedral City cheese (has a faint tang of burnt car tyres)

Molton Brown

Waitrose - only survives on its previous reputation.

Most luxury brands that folk buy just for the name.

Dyson

Waitrose

Our Dyson hoover was the best we ever had tbh.

Barker and Stonehouse. Look carefully and their furniture and stuff isn't that great, actually.

Agree most designer brands but especially Christian Dior, and their recent sweatshop scandal. A bag costing €53 to produce is being sold for over €2,000, unsafe working practices, undocumented workers etc. But they get away with it as they used a contractor. Whilst their adverts claim it's made by artisans....

Apple

Mulberry handbags. They are made in a factory like millions of other handbags. (,I've been around the factory).

Tesla
Farrow and Ball

Toast. Fugliest clothes I've ever seen.

Hoover is a brand. Do you mean vacuum?
Hotel chocolate

Heinz

Audrey's chocolates.

Every time there's a naice chocolates thread on here, someone goes on about how overpriced and nasty Hotel Chocolat is and then goes on to recommend Audrey's.

So I eventually ordered some and found they were nothing special, far more expensive than Hotel Chocolat, had a suspiciously long use by date of over a year, which doesn't fit with their 'fresh artisan chocolates' image and were full of all kinds of shite that no good Mumsnetter would allow to pass her lips (palm oil, endless e numbers etc).

Mulberry,new ones are nothing like the quality of the originals.

Brora.

Oooh yes! They don't even make good plain cotton tshirts any more.

Do you mean Hotel Chocolat?
