Came here to say this. That might possibly be the dumbest reason I can think of to get rid of a car you “Loved” and now own and have no trouble with. “I’ll teach those people at Carvana! I’ll sell my car after they already took my money and don’t give a shit anymore!”
Store-brand soda. No matter how much you their to make it taste like Coke, it doesn’t taste like Coke. And their attempts at a Dr. Pepper substitute? Laughable. If the Coca-Cola company can’t pull it off with that pitiful pretender Mr. Pibb, what makes grocery chains think they can?
They do at least taste better than…
Laundry detergent: I find the name brand stuff makes clothes look cleaner and last longer. Clothes are expensive.
I need Bounty or the like name brand paper towel. My wife bought some kirkland stuff a while back (granted Kirkland is usually good, TP is aces) but it was terrible and I’ve never forgiven her for it
Hydrox cookies. It’s Oreos or GTFO over here.
Hellman’s (known as Best Foods west of the Rockies) Mayonnaise.
How am I going to get sick when I’ve just been tying these onions to my belt, which has been the style for some time now?
100% why the dealer model needs to not exist anymore and nothing justifies its continued existence and is a burden to the consumer and in no way shape or form an asset for the consumer.
Extra cookies? I am not following you on this...Who the heck ever has “extra” cookies?
He did have it in writing. The problem was the dealership employee screwed him over by omitting the fact that what they both signed was simply an acknowledgement of the reservation, rather than a contract that forbid alteration of the final sales price.
At the same time, why does everything have to come down to legality and signed agreements for things like this. Shouldn’t a well functioning system be easy to navigate, transparent, and not rely on having to protect yourself all the time? An ideal system here should be relatively “frictionless” so to speak.
I find it funny that just because something was started with an ad campaign that we are supposed to cynically dismiss it for all time. Much of the things on this list are perfectly fine items and just because they were pushed as an ad campaign doesn’t mean that we should reject them outright.
The superstition that lighting three things with one match was unlucky, most popularized during WWI, when it was thought that it would give an enemy time to zero in on a target, with the third soldier likely to get shot. That superstition was capitalized on by a Swedish match maker in order to sell more matches...
Gross indeed.
My wife’s family is Portuguese and we can get EU citizenship. It was worth it before Nov. 4, and it is worth it now.
The Republic of California, after entering into free trade agreements with Canada, Mexico, the EU, Great Britain, Japan, Australian, Vietnam, Singapore, Taiwan, and South Korea, would be an unstoppable economic juggernaut and I would proudly burn my American passport for that vision.
This happens every time some GOP dipshit gets in front of the pulpit to scream “no more pork!” when budgets are brought up. Of course they don’t mean it for everyone. They want less pork for others so they can get more. So I guess to be accurate they’re screaming “no, more pork!”
The reality of their Civil War is that they’ll just be going after their neighbors and other soft targets doing exactly what they claim the government is going to do to them because, in the end, they’ve always just been bullies with guns so they get to make the rules.
