Can $100+ collector's edition game things be my least favorite product? I know I don't have to buy them, but every so often there's maybe one neat thing in them, like an art book or a patch or something, that I wouldn't mind owning but it's bundled in some expensive collector's edition that comes with an embarrassing nerd statue and dozens of other cheap little trinkets and posters. It feels nice seeing mountains of discounted limited collector's editions piled up in game stores months after release though.

It was near Halloween and I needed hand soap, so I got this because it was cheap: Softsoap "Spider Web Berries". Hard to screw up hand soap, right?  You know that "Curry and Feet" smell of a lovely college apartment? Well combine that with "Robitussin", and I guess that's what "Spider Web Berries" Smell like.

If we're talking about lovely alcohol, I put forth this: Dead Crow bourbon-flavoured beer. Hey, I love bourbon, I love beer. Worth a try I thought. This though, this tastes like literal chilled vomit in a bottle. It remains, to date, the only beer I've ever been unable to finish. Hell, I didn't make it past a couple of swigs.

Forgot to post this last week-- this beer tastes like bitter burnt rye. Way too expensive for "vanilla cream stout" that doesn't have a hint of vanilla to it. It ended up being a boring old dark ale.

The OtterBox for iPhones. This is a case that's supposed to protect one's phone, and I'm uncertain of its claim to that (although it probably does a good job of it since it's so thick), but you can't obscure or cover that Apple logo on the back, oh no siree!  Just another hole for dirt and dust to get into (unless there's a thin window that covers the logo that I'm unaware of), and when you take your phone out of its case for whatever reason, you'd have this worn scratchy circle outline over the Apple logo. Pretentious as gently caress is what it it is, and this is coming from an iPhone owner. You Are A Werewolf has a new favorite as of 13:45 on May 14, 2016 |

Dog isn't running fast enough or knocking bars? Can't possibly be your bad handling, dog must be out of alignment! Here's $40 for you to pet my dog for 5 minutes and give me an excuse for why it's not my fault the dog didn't run well!

Trader Joe's green tea matcha latte drink mix. GARBAGE. I've never had something that was green colored, but tasted like cardboard. It's like liquid chalk in my mouth. No amount of sugar can drown out the bitter chalky blandness. It's like the powdered milk part was rotten or something.

I have a (much thinner) case with that logo hole on mine. They were the only ones in stock when I got it, and I haven't really thought of it until now (like 18 months later) to just buy a new one.

I couldn't tell yesterday when I was shopping for a new case because the store had them locked up tight. Woolie Wool posted:I thought cases were supposed to protect primarily against impacts, where the hole doesn't affect anything. They are. The window is more of an aesthetic thing than a protector, but I just think it's dumb as poo poo to put that window there in the first place because I guess people will look down on you or something if you cover up that Apple logo. It becomes just another smartphone instead of an ~iPhone™©~. Not holding anything against owners of OtterBoxes, though. Personal choice is all.

I have the Preserver waterproof one and it doesn't have a hole in the back which I like because then people don't know I have an iPhone. Plus my phone is pristine despite dropping it once a week at least (I am clumsy). This should go in the "recommended" thread. Otter box is good imo.

I see that logo hole so often I figured Apple had some deal worked out where if you were making a case to fit their phones you had to leave their logo unobstructed. If people are choosing their case based on whether or not you can see that its an iphone, that's just really sad.

If people are choosing their case based on whether or not you can see that its an iphone, that's just really sad. There is a huge market for people who are in low income brackets but who make large single purchases on one item because they want to own the best version of that item no matter what. Be it a pair of Nikes, a PS4, or an iPhone you can bet that if it leaves the house there will be some way to protect it (because again, you're spending maybe all your extra money you get for several months or even a year on this one nice thing) but also let every motherfucker on the block know you have a loving IPHONE. I grew up in a small pretty poor town and this was a hugely prevalent mentality. Some dude would blow his entire paycheck, disability check and a bunch of his military pension payments on a motorcycle and you bet he would find endless excuses to drive that thing somewhere in a town that is literally a half mile wide. Not to mention he'd probably get a huge Harley keychain with it too, so even when you didn't see him drive up you would still bear witness to the greatness and class that is his bitchin' hog.

Because I'm lazy and like slip on shoes and loafers I used to buy variations of these Sanuk things on and off And looking back I have no idea why. They're ugly, fall apart way too quick and they're expensive as hell for what they are. I would seriously buy a pair like every summer I'd go to the beach and within a few months they'd be totalled

 Happened to catch a cold, and in my rush to refill on cough drops during a break at work I picked up some of these from a nearby healthfood store. Not only are they almost completely flavorless, but they're leaving a chalky feeling in my mouth. I may as well be sucking on a rock.

 Very low on flavour, and strangely hard. Not so much crisp or crunchy or tough, just a lot more solid than you're expecting. Not unpleasant, but odd and slightly off-putting, and the fact that they taste of almost nothing isn't helping.
