Check the calendar. ET pubs running the new Frostbite rotation all week.
I've been thinking lately about how much money people spend just for a brand name. Have you ever bought or encountered a high-end product or premium service that turned out to be absolute garbage? What was it, and what made it a total letdown?

There are touring stage shows which cater to small children. These are often based on popular television shows. In addition to the expensive ticket, one can also buy a special "VIP Meet and Greet Experience" for an even larger amount. These sometimes consist of merely standing in an approved line in the lobby after the show, and being given an opportunity to take a selfie (with one's own camera) with the costumed individuals.

I read more than I post.
I used to think this until I made the switch. Quiter, usually safer, a little more spirit, better sound system, super comfy seats. Get one 2 or 3 years old CPO for the same price as a Camry. If you take care of them they really can be just as reliable, although I will admit maintenance is more precise and more expensive. Never going back. It's weird because everything else in life I am CHEAP, but I've come to realize that usually (not always) luxury cars really are more than just a logo. It reminds me of the "don't cheap out on things that separate you from the ground" ... Mattresses, shoes, tires.... But why stop at tires?

Beauty products. Eyeshadow pallets made of cardboard, $30 shampoos that are gummy, various face products that don't really improve anything, perfume that smells like a gargoyle's breath, etc.

That's the same experience as a VIP meet and greet with a rock star or an old movie star at a convention. If the kid is thrilled to get their picture with Fred Flintstone maybe it's worth it.

Still learning the smokes.
High end restaurants!!! Most of em microwave shit and in the end you pay £1000 for a steak that has £5 worth of “gold” wrap on it. Never done it, never will! But plenty of people falling for it.

Jewelry is probably the biggest rip off off them all.

They are fine if you take care of them.
They are more complicated because they provide a high level of pretty much every thing. Which costs money to make and maintain
