I saw this post and wanted to ask the opposite. What are some items that really aren't worth paying the expensive version for? Preferably more extreme or unexpected examples.

I had this issue. I buy generics and had a couple friends literally complain that I didn't have anything to drink. Less of an issue as we actually grew up, now less people bitch and mostly got over it.

People live for those brands, though, man.

For me it was kind of the opposite. I care less about getting shit faced and more about flavours. Getting buzzed is just a pleasant side effect.

I make beer, and I take suggestions of friends of different styles (if left to my taste it would be English and Irish ales, and heavily hopped pale ales)

I am disappointed when people suggest "something like VB?" (Victoria Bitter is a mass market beer tuned to be inoffensive. It's boring.)

Beer drinkers are as bad as wine drinkers for being fussy
