In Your Opinion, What Products Live Up to The Marketing?

[GenericBadGuy]

What things out there live up to the metric ton of money thrown at consumers to convince them, Era? This can pertain to specific slogan/jingles, but also to the general marketing or word of mouth. If a commercial says something is the coolest thing around, do you agree?

I'll start with what put the question in my head:

Frank's marketing slogan is "I put that shit on everything" and lately its been true. If I put this stuff on one thing on the plate I'll put it on the rest eventually, too. Its good.

 

[Meg Cherry]

I really like MeUndies, even after every podcast advertised them to me so hard that I assumed they were a scam.

 

[Okabe]

Buckley's

Shit tastes like the most horrendous stuff like puke on a spoon but yeah my cold or flu or whatever won't last longer than 24 hours after I take it.

Thank goodness for the new gel cap ones whewww

I drink too much coffee and this is so damn handy against any coffee-on-clothing issues.

 

[Septimus Prime]

Sonicare. You thought you were brushing your teeth without this? Nah, man.

Cascade Platinum. This cleans way better than other dishwashing packs and doesn't require pre-soaking.

Ninja Foodi Grill. This is so dope. It's a grill and air fryer combination that does both well and is easy to clean.

 

[SmittyWerbenManJensen]

Air Fryers and Instant Pots.

Changed my life during med school. I will never be without either one (unless something new, better comes along).

I don't want to admit it, but the AirPods have been pretty fantastic.

Super simple, super cheap, and super useful.

Instant Pot, Kindle (not sure about the marketing but this device is pretty much perfect), and Masterpiece Transformers.

Yankee Candles. Worth the extra money.

A revelation for Gaming. No more tearing or stuttering.

Dyson vacuums.

I live with two dogs, a German Shepherd with medium hair who sheds like mad and a Pitt Bull who is shorter hair and sheds a decent bit. With normal maintenance the vacuum pulls more than it's weight, just a mid-teir battery powered model. I use it typically 3-4 times a week on the hardwood floor and sofa, easy to clean, lightweight and makes cleaning pretty quick. I was hesitant about the price initially, but two years in I'd say it's worth it.

 

[TaySan]

This stuff definitely gave me pain at first. Lol

 

[GenericBadGuy]

I'll agree about insant pots and Yankee Candle. Yankee is irritating actually - the cost is ridiculous but knock offs don't come close.

Yep, it's disgusting how well these work on max suction modes. One boxer dog here but compared to our old vacuum(s) a Dyson really shows you how dirty your dog hair made things. It wasn't cheap by any means but having two young kids and seeing the difference in results I'd never buy a different brand anymore.

Yeah, they tout the engineering of their unique suction system and it really lives up to the hype. I'm mad I didn't get one sooner, I doubted them for years.

I quite enjoy being able to get yankee candles at like $4 per. People donate them to my local thrift store all the time, brand new ones even. Sadly most of the ones I've gotten that I would be tempted to buy again are no longer made so getting another one would be like $100 lol.

So I've seen Air fryers mentioned which was the gadget I got a few years back so I will just say my newest kitchen toy that I've had for like 1.5 years

my sous vide device which allows me to cook a perfect medium rare steak on my stove without much worry that I will screw it up.

This is accurate. I regret buying so many Yankee candles over the years when a superior and slightly cheaper alternative existed.

Last but certainly not least:

Holy shit does this stuff work. I've used these at my previous job when ants invaded my office and twice at home in the kitchen. You're probably thinking, well if they work so well, why did you have to use them in the kitchen twice? There's approximately an 8 year gap between uses. The day after you place it, you'll see an increase is activity. Then after that, it drops off sharply and eventually you stop seeing them all together. It takes a bit of time but works very well.

E-readers.

I get to take a 1000 books with me on vacation without needing an extra luggage.

The screens are very good now and have backlight for reading in the dark.

I can't live without it anymore.

I assumed from their irritating radio ads that Bombas socks would be terrible but they're actually really good.

Tenga is a really popular Halloween costume in Tokyo.

I never used the one this guy is dressed as, it's the reusable one but I did try the egg when my girlfriend went on a business trip to Spain .

Poor myself a glass of wine, light a candle, sexy playlist on Spotify, and some time with just me and my egg.

Pop to the sento later on, what more could you want. Gotta spoil yourself sometimes.

DUDE those are awesome. We had problems with ants last year. They worked incredibly well.

Also another shout out for Mr. Clean Magic Erasers. Use them every week to clean my shower and tub.

The marketing on Dr. Bronners is batshit insane, but it has really good word of mouth recommendations. Tried it and now can't do without it.
