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.

    FWIW, whiskey is expensive because the market had grown sharply, and production runs a minimum of seven years behind demand (for Scottish whiskey, due to laws on aging). Ten years ago you could get a perfectly decent Laphroaig for $25-35; now it’s more like $60 for the same thing.

      Yep. 60 euro whiskeys. That’s where it’s at. Otherwise you’re either drinking Jack Daniels or Johnny Walkers. Or you’re not drinking anything, because they’re too expensive to open.
