Quirky products don't bother me. What bothers me more is fraudulent labeling of weights of store-packaged foods sold by weight (meats, etc). https://www.consumerreports.org/cro/news/2015/06/whole-foods-under-fire-for-overcharging-customers/index.htm https://www.consumerreports.org/cro/news/2015/06/whole-foods... Unfortunately this isn't uncommon in the grocery industry. Stores most often get tripped up when they sell something by the pound, package up nominal pounds of the stuff, then label each of those packages as precisely one pound when such precision is unlikely. Next time you're in the store take a look at the packages of ground beef; they'll say "$x per pound" and they should then also list a precise weight of that particular package with a price calculated for that particular package. Sometimes, not too infrequently, stores will cut corners and simply label each package as precisely one pound, with the error systematically in their favor. If you believe you've discovered a store doing this, you may be able to report that store for investigation by your local weights and measures: https://www.cdfa.ca.gov/dms/index.html https://www.cdfa.ca.gov/dms/index.html
