What critics don’t get that there’s a huge market for what I call “dinner party toys”; something a bit ridiculous but inherently curious that you can whip out amongst your peers in an attempt to make an impression and gain some social capital. This is particularly important if you’re affluent and everyone you know is similarly so which doesn’t allow you to just flaunt your luxury with any effect. They’re not selling coffee you can enjoy but a story you can tell and experience you can share. Interestingly that experience doesn’t event have to be good (that it’s stupid is equally a selling point).
