    Any clothing brand that is just expensive for most individuals to buy (ie. Gucci, Michael Kors, Lui Vutton, and others). These are all made incredibly cheap and flimsy, and you are just paying for the brand. Most of the wealthy will either buy the same brand but from their exclusive collection (not available to commoners) that are actually well made and durable, or will buy other brands (ie. John Lobb, Schaeffer’s, Frette) that actually last so long that they can be passed down if wanted. Lastly, when you see someone famous or wealthy appearing on the spotlight with something you can buy at a store (mostly super expensive like a Bellenciaga) they are lended to them for the publicity alone.

    I just personally prefer to dress like Adam Sandler most of the time.

      Yes, rich people tend to wear expensive but durable clothes that last a long time.

      Have also noticed they tend to drive older cars too. I guess they have nothing to prove to anyone else.

      My grandma was wealthy as fuck. All her clothes were made for her. She’d have died before she bought any kind of label, she thought they were common.

    Lobster. It was originally poor people’s food. Crustaceans are just insects of the sea.

        At first I thought it was neat how unflashy they looked, after a while I found them boring and unremarkable and then I realised they look like car examples you would find in a 3D design program.

    Most cars especially BMW, Cybertrucks, corvettes, cameros, Hummers. Chat gpt, caviar, phone ring tones, expensive weddings, store bought cakes/cupcakes, fake grass/colored rock landscaping, overpaying/over borrowing for higher education.

      I’m still holding my judgement on caviar. I assume there’s a reason that it’s so popular, and not just because it’s expensive, which is to say that I think the people shelling out to eat it wouldn’t do so if it tasted like fish ass.

        I used to work in the seafood industry and I got invited to a seafood expo once. There were tons of vendors and since I’m super poor and not fancy, i ate everything. Figured I’d never get another chance. I ate so much caviar and roe that day.

        It’s fuckin’ nasty. Every species and preparation I tried. Tbf I was at an expo, not a nice resturant, but also tbf, it was an expo, they were trying to market their best products.

          Well, I’ll be damned. Straight from the horse’s mouth, it really does taste like crap. That’s wild, maybe it’s stuffed with vitamins and minerals… someone ages ago had the idea to cram those fish eggs into their craw, so I guess it was one of those meals of necessity? If that’s the case, I’ll be damned if I can figure out why someone would luxuriate crummy eggs on crackers.

        I’ve had it and while it’s good it’s often served with hard boiled eggs and crackers so it kinda tasted like those things. I would say it’s overrated.

    Full sets of matching cookware. Its almost always a bunch of display junk that never gets used. Buy your stuff as individual pieces, you’ll likely have nicer quality. This goes for pots, pans, knives, silverware, spatulas, damn near everything cooking related.

    Personal opinion, all-clad is overrated. Their skillet/saucepan handles are shit and hurt to hold for longer cooking sessions.
