Hey Pandas, Is This World Of “Planned Obsolescence” What Is Your Personal Sturdy Product That’s Tried And True?

ADVERTISEMENT

With the current state of the global economy as we watch our money evaporate via, fast fashion, shrinkflation, and such, consumers have been compelled to pay attention to where all our money goes. Planned obsolescence is the practice when manufacturers keep a steady stream of sales coming in by manufacturing goods that don’t last as long as they have in years gone by. Remember grandma’s tic tac-ed shaped fridge with the big buckle latch that took six men to move that sat in her kitchen? Well even though it seems those days are over there are still some products that don’t age like milk that deserve a shout out from those of us that don’t mind paying for quality. So what is your personal favorite? It may be a bit of free advertising but in our humble opinions we believe these companies have earned it.

    Hey there, Pandas! My name is Diana (though some prefer to refer to me as Diane, Deanna, and even Liana sometimes), and I am a Community Post Moderator Lead for Bored Panda. As my position title states, I am one of the people (employed Pandas for bamboo) over here who work with the community side of things on this website to ensure all is well, and while at that, I also help various creators and artists get recognition for the incredible work they do by connecting them to a large worldwide audience. Other than that, outside of work, you can find me brewing a nice cup of coffee, making a pizza from scratch, or baking brownies. I also love traveling, concerts, and cats (heavy on that, because I am a cat mom).
