    Actually have just spent the last 30 minutes browsing the Louis Vuitton site.

    What an unadulterated pile of **** the clobber on there is.

    Those airpod style headphones. You look like a wanker from 10 years ago with a bluetooth earpiece for taking calls.

    Actually I used to think this but they are very practical. Good for running and you don't spent stupid amounts of time untying knots from the cabling.

    Thigh master.

    Really really light weights. There is no point.

    They keep the good stuff for 'certain customers' we can't afford it.

    Its usually the stuff without a visable logo.

    Almond Milk...

    They simply call it Almond milk cause few would buy it if it was called “ Nut Juice”

    Airpods. Bluetooth in general isn't great for sound quality but there have been vastly better options for wireless headphones/earphones for years now. Well done, you bought mediocre apple ear phones without a wire and look like you yet again couldn't think for yourself. Same with anyone who gets the new iPhone year in and year out.

    Expensive branded gym wear, you're there to get a sweat on, not look good.

    The ones that annoy me are usually something that basically does nothing new, but convinces people they need it while charges several multiples of the price of another product.

    Nutribullet, for example. It's a blender specifically for blending individual portions of food, and costs anywhere from 3 to ten times more than a normal blender. For no reason at all. A standard blender will do everything a Nutribullet does, plus it will also make large batches of food. For a fraction of the price.


    Have to disagree on the Nutri-bullet.



    I just use it for making fruit drinks but it pulverises eveything, You could stick chicken bones in the mofo along with the kale and berries and they would be liquidised.

    Dyson mattress vacuum. Used it like 2, 500e well spent...

    Dyson vacuums are really poor products. Plasticky, gimmicky, a triumph of advertising and marketing over functionality and performance.

    If you’ve bought one then you’ve fallen for the idea they are actually doing something different than other hoovers that cost a 3rd of the price.

    They aren’t.

    Not stupid or ridiculous in any way and will definitely happen in the future and will be safer than people driving.

    Red Bull. Tastes rank, it's expensive. Nobody will ever touch the stuff.

    Except the millions of people who drink it daily/regularly. I love the taste of it.

    Yes but there is something very scary about a machine doing something stupid and killing you. no control at all. some think self driving cars might never come to reality. im glad they are decades away anyway.

    I drank an entire can just before a college exam many moons ago, thinking it would stimulate the body and mind.

    The only thing it stimulated was my bladder, and I was bursting for a piss half-way through the exam.

    The cordless ones are particularly ****. About the same sucking power as an asthmatic hooker punched in the solar plexus.

    I can’t comment on their plug in vacuums but cordless is the future and dyson come out on top every time in comparisons with others machines even ones that are more expensive (believe it or not there are more expensive ones).

    Like Apple for some people dyson appear to have an irrational hate for dyson despite them making very good products.

    Comparing different cordless vacuums is like comparing a Trabant with a Lada.

    Leaf blowers.....cant see the use of them other than to blow leaves and grass onto the road. So pointless!
    Also those little dishes that ppl use for used tea bags, just put them in the f*cking bin.
