    Gendered rebranding. They sell you literally the exact same product, all they do is change the packaging and the price. And thanks to societal pressures, people keep falling for it...

    Flushable toilet wipes. They even say in the small print, they are not flushable but people keep doing it and clogging the pipes. Whatever your primary method after doing your business, you shouldn't need second item afterwards.

    Amazon Auto. It basically only does what the cell phone app already does.

    Anything new and improved. If it is not smaller and more expensive I would be surprised. Usually the old model works better, does a better job. Example: front load washers as compared to top load. I’m sure you can come up with examples too….

    I know it makes sense but I think the car is one of the worst inventions ever.
    Cons: too many resources needed to make them all
    The roads are constantly full of traffic jams and in some places it's quicker to ride a bike
    The amount of pollution they cause
    The amount of petrol and oil they need
    The expense of keeping them fuelled, taxed and insured
    The never ending production of newer, better models to keep people buying

    Pros:
    They're convenient

    Talk-to-text and sending voice messages....on a phone...capable of calling people. I know it has some specific usages but the irony is never lost on me, and I most often see it being used as basically a phone call with very long pauses between responses.
