    There is a collection of products like that under hashtag extreme civilisation. Half are just veg wrapped in plastic but half are incredibly stupid.

    This and this last century are separated from the rest of history by the wealth of tat available to buy. Most of it is pure crap that will end up in a rubbish dump long after we are dead ....

    'Decorative' socks.
    i.e. Fancy designs, patterns and colours. On the most utilitarian of all clothing items.

    Fair enough a novelty set with the days of the week M-F printed on them may be of slight use,
    but otherwise only slight knob would attempt to show off their crazy 'sock designs'.

    Exactly, why can't you all just buy vacuumed meat in the supermarket where no animals had to die?

    That's a good point.

    There’s loads of knock off versions sold - mainly at markets.

    Bags of grated cheese and chopped vegetables. It takes so little effort to do it yourself and costs more to buy pre prepared.

    Plus grated cheese goes mouldy way faster than a solid block if not used quickly. More surface area for bacteria to get a grip.

    You should seal the bag again after opening to keep in all that good bacteria.

    And all in sizes XS or XXL, rarely anything in between. Great for buying a completely non-matching set of anything.


    XXL is usually the size they have the least of. For mens clothes at least.

    Why is a fiver the tipping point for pointlessness? The only way it would be pointless is if you had the same odds spending more than a fiver than only spending a fiver. The more odds of winning counts very much as a point.


    the odds of winning are so infinitesimally small that it's a waste of money, and a fiver specifically is the cost of 1 qp line twice a week, any more than that is just foolishness. And I mean, playing at all is foolishness but so is buying overpriced coffee at costa etc. and you don't have a tiny tiny tiny tiny chance of winning some money from your mochaccino

    It makes no difference. Once airborne bacteria get in it doesn't matter how well sealed it is.

    This is so true...What will museums in 100 years time look like? They will be filled with plastic junk which were designed to work for a few months before they break.

    I can imagine the display cases.

    When I was at home for Christmas I couldn't believe the amount of people wearing Canada Goose jackets. Who in their right mind spends 900 quid on a jacket? It wasn't even cold enough to be wearing them.

    There is a trend in Dublin for drug dealers, associated scum and the lower orders to spend unspeakable amounts on these high end brands. It provides great business for a south side department store.

    Drug dealers and premier league footballers are Canada Geese I suppose. It would be better for Dublin if we had more footballers and less drug dealers.

    Go to any of the local markets around the country and there’s knock off versions of high end brands available cheap.

    That’s why you’ll often see scummers or a certain ethnic group in head to toe Louis Vuitton and Burberry etc.

    Canada goose knock offs were widely available at the market in athy over chrimbo. Rubbish quality on closer inspection.

    Yeah pretty much every drug dealer around here has one, along with those handbag looking gym bags.

    Last time I was buying grated Chareville cheese in Tesco. A block and grated was the same price.

    You beat me to it.


    If they sold turnip /swedes ready chopped I would buy as I cannot peel or chop them any more so maybe is why folk buy grated carrots and cheese etc?

    They're becoming one of the top "knock off" items, along with the luminous coloured Moncler jackets, and Stone Island gear.


    Stone Island is a weird one, its Penney's quality clothes with a badge on the arm and they cost a fortune so the knock off is probably the exact same, quality wise.

    Stone Island is a weird one because who wants to go around dressed like a wannabe football hooligan bellend?

    Yep that too, especially if you're old enough to know better!

    I always wondered did the badge have buttons in case you wanted to take it off and save yourself the hassle having spent > £200 on a plain khaki jacket with those weird googles.
