Apple anything. The products are probably fine but I just don’t want to be in that club.

I LOVE Stanley Tucci. I feel obligated to add he’s a person, not a product.

Apple watches. Or smart watches in general but the bragging I encounter seems to be about Apple watches. Just another way for the person I’m talking to not to be paying attention to our conversation. But now on their wrist.

High-end underwear … oh, pardon me, lingerie. I could win the Powerball & it still wouldn’t be enough money for me to justify paying hundreds of dollars for underpants (especially a thong, which is pretty much a little bit of lace stitched like a jockstrap).

I’m not sure it qualifies as a product but Amazon. There are other sources for ordering stuff online and they are usually not hard to find.

This! We have the toaster oven/ air fryer combo and it seems to be a terrible air fryer. Or maybe my expectations for air fryers were just too high?

More likely, your expectations for combos were too high. I’ve found few examples where a combo is advantageous to separate products.
But then, I also don’t get the hype for toaster ovens, which itself is a combo; I have a toaster and I have an oven, so I’m covered.

Like cold medicine, I think single use appliances perform the best. (Meaning that it’s often recommended NOT to use a multi symptom cold medicine - instead use doses of single symptom medication to treat your top symptoms.).

My (large) toaster oven is my most used appliance, I use it way more than my oven. That’s why I got the air fryer one, I just didnt want any more appliances on my counter (and tbh I’m not a fried food fan). I cook a lot in my toaster oven, anything that fits in a 9 x 11 pan, bacon, frozen food… I brought a lasagna to a friend’s house and put it in her toaster oven to reheat, my friend and her daughters were shocked that I was toasting a lasagna. I guess they didn’t notice the temperature controls.

Socks. My oldest son wears holes in the bottoms of his socks. No idea why or how, per him or his wife. So, two years ago I got him Bombas. I thought “this’ll show him”. Ha! In one year he had a hole in one of them. I said to him and DIL that they should just buy his socks at Dollar Tree.

Both gained fame from Shark Tank. Now I’m waiting for someone to mention Squatty Potty.

One motivation for this is for people who have had surgery in their abdomen / pelvis, for example to remove the cancerous parts and then put most of the rest of it back close to where it should be. Sometimes normal pants, or at least blue jeans, end up being uncomfortable.
I will admit that this particular motivation is probably not the most common.
I agree. And then people leave these outside in the rain, or drive them on salted roads.

Or high performance options that the buyers do not use (i.e. they do not do sporty or track driving) but end up costing more (fuel, maintenance, tires, insurance) while driving the car.

Or humongous gas guzzling SUVs used only to drive a kid to school and soccer practice.
