I’ve never really understood people who spend a ton of money on clothes just because they have a brand name plastered all over them.
But I’m also the kind of person who wears clothes under they fall apart, so maybe I’m the weird one…
Whatever the case, we all have brands that we don’t think are worth the money…and these AskReddit users went on the record about it!
Let’s check these responses out!
1. Terrible.
“Eli Lilly, Novo Nordisk, and Sanofi are the three largest producers of insulin.
They are currently k**ling diabetics in America (and worldwide) because their little oligopoly keeps raising the price.
The price has tripled in the last decade and is now on average between $200 – $500/month for a patient.”
2. Not worth it.
“Yankee Candle.
I can find better candles from local hobbyists for cheaper.
Hell, I make them for cheaper.”
3. I remember them.
“Lands End.
Apparently they used to have a good enough reputation to be one of the very few things left from Sears. However, like Craftsman, it’s now just cheap poorly fitting junk not worth spending anything on.
My kids’ school switched to them for a uniform provider so I have no choice. However the service was abysmal and the clothes are paper thin crap, for nearly the same price as the much better stuff from the local chain previously used.”
4. It is expensive.
“Five Guys in the UK.
It is a decent burger but not worth the £15 for burger and chips…”
5. Fancy cars.
“Maserati.
Their lineup is so outmatched by everything else in the pricerange and the interiors have parts bin pieces from jeep and chrysler.
And while no sports cars are made to be toyota reliable the last few years of maserati has been abysmal. The levante does sound incredible though.”
6. Bummer.
“Modern Jeeps.
Because Jeep is owned by Fiat, some of the new cars coming out are built onto Fiat systems.
The Renegade is basically the large Fiat 500 chassis and some other bits in a Jeep dress.”
7. Bikes.
“Mountain biker here.
Santa Cruz (the bike brand) do higher end bikes that cost more than thier high quality counter parts such as commencal, specialized and forbidden as well as yeti (although more expensive).
With Santa Cruz you get the same if not worse spec for a more expensive price, its more a thing a certain group of mountain bikers buy to “be cool” and be part of the Santa Cruz hype.”
8. Needs some repairs…
“Harley Davidson.
Everyone I know who has a HD motorcycle says it’s always down and in the shop.”
9. Rolex.
“Rolex.
They’re very durable and nice watches, they’re very precise, but they were created as tool watches and because of marketing and a synthetic supply problem, they’re now insanely expensive compared to what they should be and there are watch companies out there with more heritage and horological significance.”
10. Overpriced.
“Victoria’s Secret.
I only buy it because I work there and get an associate discount, and discounted/free items monthly. But if not, I would never shop there.”
11. Hear this a lot.
“Diamonds.
Everyone thinks they are rare.
They are not.”
12. For D-Bags.
“Gucci.
It’s designed by rich d**chebags with poor taste in clothing, for rich d**chebags with poor taste in clothing.
I was going to say “made” by the rich d**chebags, but let’s be real, they more than likely outsource the actual manufacture of the product to Chinese child sweatshop laborers.”
13. Used to be great.
“Merrell!!
They used to be great. Now, they are just cheap chinese built shoes. I was foolish enough to buy another pair last summer.
They broke after one month. At least, I was able to get a refund under warranty.”
14. Paying for the name.
“Alienware.
Anyone looking into getting a gaming desktop and not wanting to build their own… look anywhere but Alienware. Terrible cases, no airflow, had one case fan inside, cheapest motherboard possible, cheapest CPU cooler possible, cheapest version of a GPU they could give me.
It was my introduction to gaming PCs because I had no idea what else was out there. Nowadays I can build my own, I’ve learned a ton since getting that PC and now can realize just how bad Alienware is.
You pay for a name, and your components are s**t.”
