5 Products I Will Never Buy
I watch a lot of commercials and do my fair share of shopping. I see tons of products online, on TV and out and about in real life all the time. Here are 5 products I would never buy, because they’re dumb.
1. Crocs: I don’t care how comfortable they are–they look like the dopiest shoes on earth. I know in the past few months the company launched some new lines of footwear that was supposed to be more fashionable than their signature look, but I would never buy Crocs of any kind even if they looked exactly like Louboutins. Never.
2. Kinoki Foot Pads: Seriously, what? How could you even sell something like this?
3. Go-GURT: Yoplait’s Go-GURT grosses me out. What a disgusting, squishy idea for a snack. That stuff must not stay cold for very long, and warm yogurt has to be one of the worst concepts ever.
4. CDs: I think it’s funny when people own actually CDs nowadays. When I was 13, I wanted a million CDs and thought the coolest place on the planet was Newbury Comics. Not so much anymore. I would probably sooner buy a cassette just to be funny than buy a CD for any reason.
5. Clairol hair color: In August 2007, I used a dark brown Clairol hair color on my brown hair. I just wanted to take the brown a couple shades darker. It dyed my hair Elvira black and then foamed gray-purple in the shower for the next 10 days. Over the next couple months, the dye faded out of my hair in horizontally banded strips so I looked sort of like a cross between a tiger and a clown. When I spoke with Clairol’s customer service, they were absolutely not apologetic or kind to me and offered me only a reimbursement for the $9 I spent on the hair color. Absolutely terrible.
Thoughts?

You HAVE to give Go-Gurt a try:

Haha… Go-gurt. Sounds like something you’d like.
If you want to impress a girl… just tell her that you bought “Over the Moon” milk.
CDs are data backups for your music when iTunes or your hard drive goes kaboom.
I guess I should have been more specific. By CDs I mean I would never go out and by the new album by whoever on CD.
I’m not sure about Crocs either. The stock price is starting to correct itself.
Agreed! Crocs - what are people thinking?? A hefty price tag doesn’t always equal fashion. Go-gurt - nasty! They even have green Shrek “slime” ones. Also used Clairol hair color once in college; the purple/pinkish hair certainly wasn’t what I expected from a box saying “Rich Auburn”.
Even OLD people like me would never be caught dead in a croc of any color, I don’t care how comfortable it might be. You’ll never see one on my hoof, I mean foot!
I have to throw my hat into the ring on the Go-Gurts. The flavors may not be too great, but yoghurt in tube is by far the easiest way to eat it, even if straight from the fridge.
Um yeah Amanda - I hate to agree with Coulson (that’s not how we roll) but I don’t know that you’re meant to eat Go-Gurt warm… They’re made for kids and meant to make it easy for children to eat yogurt without getting it all over the furniture.
Is it also safe to assume that if you didn’t include a product on this list, that you MIGHT buy it. Like the Buxton Bag made of gen-u-ine leather?
I have one pair of crocs. They are brown. I wear them around the house as they are very comfortable. My kids bought them for me for my birthday.
I am old. I buy CDs. I have nearly 2,000 CDs filling shelves that line the walls of my home office. I like the way they look and feel.
Never colored my hair and never will. Never have eaten Gogurt and never will. Not sure what a Kinoki foot pad is.
Hahaha, this whole thing had me cracking up. I hate crocs with every fiber of my being, and it remains a mystery to me how many people hate them and yet they are so popular. I just recently saw a commercial for those Knioki foot things and was disgusted hahaha, it’s a great idea though it caters to the 21st need for people to detox and be clean ,holistic etc, it’ll prob sell really well with soccer moms worldwide ( no offense to soccer moms)
I wish I could get rid of my CD collection. I buy all digital now and could use the space 1000 CDs take up. I never got the Crocs thing either. Then again, 12 years ago I had 2 pairs of Birkenstocks, and that didn’t seem like as bad an idea as it does now.
My daughter eats Gogurt. I normally find half eaten tubes stuck down the back of furniture. Guess I’m not in that demographic either!
I’d happily never buy a CD again the day I get can DRM free music (or a DRM scheme that shows me some respect and will last as long as I like the music) so I can listen on my Zune, in my Jeep or any of my PCs around the house….
BTW the Clairol may have made your hair look funny, but the guy in the picture seems more interested in his *own* cleavage which is a worry!
Haha, From the picture, I can tell how much crocs really bother you.. Things must be getting boring from you since graduation to focus on such crap..
