Somewhat unrelated but every new consumer company i see that advertises to me is trying to sell me an expensive version of something that exists
Just to name a few,
$36 pair of underwear (tommy John)
$18 socks (Bombas)
$1000 eco mattress (avocado)
$1 chocolate truffle (no chewing allowed)
Not to mentioned the various X as a subscription service. It's depressing that this is considered innovation
- reverius42 5y ago$1 is not expensive for a chocolate truffle, but I otherwise agree.
- bko 5y agoI don't know. An 8.8oz tin is $24.60. It's very good, but is this magic chocolate or something? What am I missing? The ingredients are: vegetable fats (coconut, palm kernel), sugar, fat reduced cocoa powder, whey powder, cocoa powder, emulsifier: soy lecithin. It's the same ingredients as Hershey's kisses whereas you can get kisses at $0.31 an ounce compared to $2.79 an ounce. At this point I'm just curious... https://nochewingallowed.com/collections/all-products/products/signature-tin https://nochewingallowed.com/collections/all-products/produc...
