I grew up with $20 walmart blenders, and hated anything that required a blender.

Recently bought a ninja and there is no going back. I’ll never use a crappy blender again.

Anything else like that?

    Toilet paper. Once you rip through cheap one, you’d pay anything to buy better one in the first plce.

      Cheap one ply toilet paper will make you question whether there really is a god or not. I’d sooner wipe my backside with a corn cob.

        Cheap one play recycled plywood was exactly the thing my high school used to supply. It was real pain to shit in school. Literally.

          My high school was worse - they had TP holders designed to only allow you to take like two sheets at a time, and they had absolutely awful 1 ply paper. It’s been over 15 years and I still remember that bullshit. I’d rather be in class, but instead I’m stuck here wiping my ass.

          Actual plywood might have worked better (!). I hate one-ply and I have a whole shitload of it because I bought it on sale without realizing it was one ply. Only good thing I can say about it is, ---- OK there’s nothing good I can say about it.

            Apparently my parents prefer one-ply because it doesn’t clog their septic tank? I (being connected to the sewer system and using decent two-ply Costco-brand paper) feel kinda sorry for them, TBH.

              It probably is better for the septic tank, but so would be wiping yourself with your bare hand for that matter. And I’m not sure you’d notice the difference from using one-ply paper.
