13 Products That Aren’t Worth Buying Even Though They’re Widely Advertised

In the modern world, advertising surrounds us from all sides, and there is no getting away from it. TV commercials, countless posters and advertisements convince us of the need for various products and services, and we often fall into marketing traps and then regret it.

We, from awesome.club, we decided to make a list of expendable products that we really don’t need to spend money on. We hope it will be useful for our readers.

Seeing this spoon in commercials or pictures on the internet, we want to buy one right away, as it looks very aesthetically pleasing. But if you are not one of those people who cannot imagine breakfast without pancakes with honey, then it is unlikely that you will need a special spoon. It’s better to think twice before buying something that will be forgotten in the kitchen drawer.

There is no need to buy a special floor cloth, as we can achieve the same result using an old T-shirt. And even if there are several types of cleaning cloths on supermarket shelves, why pay for something that is already available, and completely free?

Unfortunately reality does not always meet expectations. This is also the case with this brush. With it, the detergent does not make a good foam and we have to use it in a larger amount. In addition, its bristles are too soft to remove food residue from dishes, and the brush itself, due to its texture, is difficult to hold. Perhaps such a brush can be used for other household tasks, but for washing dishes it is better to choose something different.

Our passion for notebooks, notepads, stickers and colored pen sets continues even after finishing any study. However, it is worth remembering that it is very likely that we will not need that beautiful diary, and the ink of colored pens can dry before they are even used.

Technology is advancing all the time. We are currently using internet storage and virtual disks, and the memory size of modern smartphones and computers is simply staggering. Therefore, it is possible for a brand new flash drive to stay in its packaging forever.

If you have a small family or are not used to loading the washing machine to the maximum, then using such capsules is disadvantageous, since each one is enough to wash a full load. The capsules are more expensive than regular washing powder, and with them the clothes will have a strong smell of fabric softener, which may not please everyone. It is also worth mentioning that the colorful capsules can attract young children’s attention. That is, it is better to assess the need for such a purchase.

These devices can tell you a story, play music, tell you the weather, tell you the exchange rates and much more, but both your laptop and your smartphone can do the same. The only difference is that the notebook needs to be controlled manually and not by voice. But nowadays smartphones have a voice assistant that is becoming more and more lucid and that performs the same tasks as a smart speaker.

The electric face masks that make your skin glow the very next day, a massager that helps you lose a few pounds immediately, a “cheap” laser hair removal machine. The advertising is so impressive that it seems none of it is going to work as it should. But we always hope for a miracle and we dare to test the magical effects of these gadgets. Do not do it.

Again, why pay for something that’s already in your dresser drawer? Of course, it’s quite nice to put on those cotton socks after applying the cream and relax, thinking that your feet have been properly cared for. It’s just that ordinary cotton socks and cotton socks labeled “for beauty procedures” are the same thing, although they are priced very differently.

Probably you or one of your friends already had this experience: satisfying the intense desire to practice physical exercises, they opted for half-yearly or annual plans of a gym. After 3 or 4 classes, the desire subsides, reasons to skip appear and there is no time or energy to continue going to the gym. But the plan is already paid for and there is no way to get money back.

Of course, in some cases pet clothing is required. For example, if the weather is really cold and your little friend is not the owner of a natural “coat”. However, in most cases, furry animals simply do not need clothes, even if they are cute and fun, as the fur itself is enough to protect them from the cold.

The pants and t-shirt sets look very cozy and just adorable on the mannequins in a store. However, it is not worth spending money on these pieces, as old but well-preserved clothes can also serve as pajamas. Another option is sets bought at thrift stores where, in addition to a huge variety, we can find very low prices.

The headband looks pretty nice, but to get the hair out of your face when washing it, women with long hair just need to put it in a ponytail and women with short hair use bobby pins, which they probably already have.

In your opinion, are these products necessary or can they be easily dispensed with and replaced? Leave your comment!
