From shower gel to the new iPhone.

A new interesting one has appeared on Reddit. It discusses items and services for which it is high time to stop paying. We chose a few of the most popular answers.

1 … “Online tests for IQ level. If there was a way to fail an IQ test, it would be to buy it online."

2 … "Animals that you are not ready to take care of for the rest of their lives" -

3 … “Bright trinkets for children's parties. I'm not talking about colored pencils, paper plates and other things really necessary for a party (and what can be used later), but about disposable plastic garbage with the image of cartoon characters. This creates an incredible amount of waste, and only attracts the child's attention for a couple of hours."

4 … “Sequins! All kinds of glitter and sequins, which are now just everywhere, especially in kits for children's creativity. It is difficult to get rid of them at home, and it is microplastic that goes down the drain and settles in the ocean,”-

5 … “Detox teas and any other food that the packaging claims to help get rid of toxins. If your body cannot cope with this on its own, then you need a kidney or liver transplant, not tea."

6 … “Any gels - for a shower, for washing, etc., - with small plastic balls. They are small enough to pass through most water filtration systems and are detrimental to marine animals."

7 … Shark fin soup. For this dish, fishermen cut off the sharks' fins and throw them out to die in the sea, because other parts have practically no value."

8 … “I can't understand people who buy New Year's decorations every year. Especially those who buy a new plastic tree every time, although everything was in order with the previous one. Of course, when you move from your parents, it makes sense to buy your own set of jewelry and change broken toys, but the number of these jewelry in stores is amazing. Why do we buy so much every year? -

9 … “In-app purchases, especially in sports games. I can understand developers who add cosmetic optional add-ons to free games - they somehow need to make money. But loot boxes and the need to spend money in order to be able to compete in paid games like NBA 2K and FIFA are full of game."

10 … "New smartphone every year" -
