I saw this post and wanted to ask the opposite. What are some items that really aren’t worth paying the expensive version for? Preferably more extreme or unexpected examples.

    I had this issue. I buy generics and had a couple friends literally complain that I didn’t have anything to drink. Less of an issue as we actually grew up, now less people bitch and mostly got over it.

    People live for those brands, though, man.

      I make beer, and I take suggestions of friends of different styles (if left to my taste it would be English and Irish ales, and heavily hopped pale ales)

      I am disappointed when people suggest “something like VB?” (Victoria Bitter is a mass market beer tuned to be inoffensive. It’s boring.)

      Beer drinkers are as bad as wine drinkers for being fussy

      For me it was kind of the opposite. I care less about getting shit faced and more about flavours. Getting buzzed is just a pleasant side effect.
