I know people will say Apple, but at least Apple does some original shite.

The brand that annoys me the most is Yeti. God, I hate them. They act like they invented vacuum insulated stainless steel bottles when in fact Stanley did that in 1913 (and Thermos was doing vacuum insulated glass in 1904). I wouldn't mind them if they made their shite in America. But no, they make their shite in China and then charge $40 for a fricking 20 ounce cup that took literally $2 to make. Get the frick outta here.

I take the "poor" route and buy Ozark Trail from Wal-Mart like any true baw would. $9 for a 20 ounce tumbler that holds ice and cold liquid just as long as Yeti's $30+ cups.

Most retail-level North Face items.

I laugh every time I see someone with Voss water. A known scam for many many years.

Starbucks. Their coffee tastes burnt to me but I guess when women add all the soy milk and sugar it’s basically a milk shake

Jack Daniels I think it taste awful and has been so successful because they are excellent at marketing.

I have a Yeti cup I bought at a fundraiser. I do like it better than my other insulated cups, but I don’t think I have an Ozark Trail to compare it to.

Not that big a fan of a couple of Honda Accords I had. Bought one, other was a hand-me-down to my son from his grandmother. Prefer the Toyotas I’ve had.

I’ve always been team Hydro Flask for my vacuumed insulated cup/bottle needs. I didn’t mind Yeti when they first launched and were a niche brand for the more outdoor minded individual. Then they became mainstream and sold out completely. Remember when they tried to re-brand as a progressive, anti gun company? LMAO

On Running would be my nomination. Absolute shite quality. No one serious about running wears them.

BMW.

They're a nightmare to maintain, use Torx bolts in the dumbest of places, fix problems that don't exist, and generally think that their owners are too stupid to understand how they actually work.

Ultimate Driving Machine my arse.
