Bottled Water
I grew up in the 80’s. Gatorade was new and we thought the McDonald’s orange drink was excellent shite. If you would have told me in 1985 that we would be paying $2:00 for water in a bottle in 30 years, I would have thought you were Biff Tannen.

Not me. I hate having additional shite to do after I land. I’m ready to GTFO

Apoquel($90 month) for my dog’s allergies. My dad would’ve laughed and said “fukallthat…..used motor oil is free..pour that on his back… 
”
BTW: Apoquel is a lifesaver. Haven’t been to the vet with my g retriever since he’s been on it. No more shedding, ear infections, scratching/biting himself…none of that.

Aside from some technology that didn't exist like cell phone or internet.
I'll start...
Housekeeping
Yard Care
Car Washes
My parents would have laughed at the idea of paying someone else to do this.
