They would go bad instantly. I would assume these would be only suitable for banana bread. Reminds me of prechopped veggies that are way overpriced.

Specific models of dumpsters found in national parks. Apparently making sure that the smartest bear can’t get into a dumpster while making sure the dumbest person can is a grey zone.
Shops with perpetual “sales” and prices ending with 99.
JC Penney went through a period where they did away with their perpetual “sale” and normalized their pricing. Their sales tanked as a result. Apparently a lot of people who shop there are idiots.
The one time I went while they were just offering low prices was awesome. Just $8/shirt, no coupons or sales to turn a $20 shirt into a ln $8 one. Most people really like seeing a big number then having to pay a smaller one though.
The former SVP of Apple Retail Ron Johnson, specifically. He actually thought the people who shopped at JC Penny were the same as the people who shopped at an Apple Store.

I’m gonna get downvoted for this but… gaming consoles.
Gaming consoles made sense back in the day before home computing took off, and for a while they actually had superior hardware than computers when it came specifically to running games. But nowadays gaming consoles are just locked down user-hostile computers with a subscription service attached. The gaming equivalent of inkjet printers. It’s an industry made irrelevant by advancements in technology, propped up by misleading marketing and artificial hype that sadly many people fall for.
I have a PS5 because it will play the damned games. There’s nothing in the PC realm for $400 I could buy that could come close to guaranteeing the same thing. Consoles don’t exist because people are stupid, they exist because gaming and GPU companies are cartels just like almost every other sector of the economy.
The old consoles also were just plug the game in and boot up.
No Hassle.
Now they sounds like Windows boxes.
My high school mandatory epilepsy training for teachers and staff because the art teacher stepped over me while I was seizing on the floor during class. Other students had to carry me to the nurse because I couldn’t walk right after the seizure. Teacher wouldn’t even call the nurse to let her know what was up
