Inspired by badmouses thread


Got me thinking of everyday things I wouldn't spend a cent on.

Knives which never need to be sharpened, Spam (no not the email kind).

Lots and lots of things.

Have any? Multiple answers accepted :D

The one that absolutely takes the cake for me is those machines where you pour in a pile of loose change and they give you a percentage of your money back. Why? What's wrong with a bank?

The scariest thing is that I've heard people I know (though it's made me wonder if I should admit that I do) extol the wonders of how these machines "turn change into CASH!"

I don't get it, but obviously somebody's making some big bucks off the idea.

Nah, I love Apple. I have several. However, they've made mistakes over the years. That's a list of the biggest ones.

I'm looking around, trying to think of something lame.... then realize, I don't own anything lame. I'll have to look in someone else's house for ideas :p

the iPod Shuffle seems to be at least an initial success... long wait for it.. unless they only had like 5 in stock. and 15" LCD are at least useful on laptops..
