Things that are crap - cunningly upsold

[MyKingdomForACaramel]

Have just attempted to make a sandwich using “toasty bread”... bread fell apart - but tbh it’s also rubbish as toast. So am I right in thinking that along with “naked burgers” it’s all a big con, and aibu to ask - what crappy products you have been “upsold”?

I have to disagree that the pods aren't as nice as filter coffee. They're considerably nicer imho.

anything made of silicon (I have cake 'tins' and loaf 'tins' all of which are crap as they don't hold their shape)

Snap. I'd like to add silicone utensils as well. Even fresh out of the dishwasher they never feel very clean. Always faintly greasy and tacky.

Pod coffee machines lord, how I agree ! Brown liquid that tastes nothing like coffee.

I don't own one, but I've tried them in hotels and friends' houses and I like it much more than filter. I really want a bean to cup machine and I much prefer espresso to filter, but they're so expensive.

In the interests of free debate and honest sharing of opinions I acknowledge those people who disagree with me over the relative tastiness of pod coffees and state my support for the maligned silicon bakeware. I agree that it doesn’t get the squeaky clean finish of a metal tin but otherwise I find them functional and convenient - I particularly recommend silicon muffin ‘tins’ for making excellent individual Yorkshire puddings.

If Cadbury World is in there then Legoland should be top of the list. It’s a fairground. That costs £100. The one in Pwllheli has no queues and costs £2 per ride.

All make-up. The greatest scam pulled on womankind.

I got my DP a load of those ManFlu products from home bargains for Valentine’s Day as a jokey present, he absolutely loves them and went to restock

I liked the Cadbury Wod ride but the description above really isn’t wrong, and then £10 for the photo in a cheap bit of plastic!

Then we went round the back and there’s a 4D cinema which simulates a ride, much more fun but no one seemed to know about it as only five of us were in there.

not me personally or anyone in my immediate family but let's mention the oversold and not esp a good idea that is Equity Release..

Cadbury WORLD

Baby toys, because babies would honestly rather play with trash.

All make-up. The greatest scam pulled on womankind.

I like make-up!!

Lol @Stawp My toddler is currently ignoring all his toys in favour of a seive, a whisk, and a doorstop 🙄

HeyNanny - I couldn't agree more re being an adult.

Its shit! I was sold the dream when I was a teenager that being an adult meant you could make your own decisions, do what you want when you want. Can I change my mind please, it was much more fun being a kid and never having to pay any bills. Being an adult is just endless paperwork.

Steam mops.. between the faff of refilling them, waiting for them to heat up and having to continuously plug and unplug them due to their tiny power cords, you'd have the whole house mopped three times with a regular mop and bucket!

I cook the ready baked potatoes all wrong but like them- I let them defrost by leaving them out in the morning then bake them on high for 30 minutes when I get in.
I'll probably get food poisoning but that's how I like them.

I love my coffee pod machine I can't drink much coffee as it gives me migraines. I used to chuck out loads of cafetière coffee as I couldn't get through it quick enough.

Silicone Yorkshire pudding tins are a revelation I love mine as are my silicone utensils. I hand wash them though.

Steam mop has saved me hours of mopping, massive kitchen with a craggy skate floor which shredded mops.

Frozen jackets are fab I keep them in for making quick potato skins for the kids.

I love green tea too!

Mine is a bread maker, it takes the fun out of making bread.

Soup maker is a rip off too, pan and a stick blender work better for me,

Hey Jelly bean. Buy a small electric coffee grinder (cheap) and one of those metal espresso makers that sit on the hob (also cheap). I know that's two machines but its not a hassle really.
Just don't attempt to make home made pesto in the coffee grinder as it fucks it.

The Epcot Center.
Disneyworld.

Just utter, utter shite. Go and get rinsed for your cash.

Ready Baked Jacket Potatoes - this is an actual thing?

How does that work, as you still have to heat them up/through which is either quick in the microwave (gosh, they can cook in there) or a bit slower in the oven (they can cook in there too!)

Half spoon sugar. A mix of sweeteners and normal sugar.
According to silver spoon if you use half a spoon of half spoon you get half the calories of a spoon of ordinary sugar. Seriously no shit sherlock.

All that for a higher cost of normal sugar.
Guess what I would rather stick to normal sugar thanks

Pandora jewellery = a triumph of the marketing of tat. A Ratners for our time.

Prinstress haha i'm glad he likes them! they are just quite expensive for what they are if you look at the ingredients, but it's all about marketing eh.
