What do people think is fancy, but is actually tacky or trashy?
-
Full sets of matching cookware. Its almost always a bunch of display junk that never gets used. Buy your stuff as individual pieces, you'll likely have nicer quality. This goes for pots, pans, knives, silverware, spatulas, damn near everything cooking related.
Personal opinion, all-clad is overrated. Their skillet/saucepan handles are shit and hurt to hold for longer cooking sessions.

Most cars especially BMW, Cybertrucks, corvettes, cameros, Hummers. Chat gpt, caviar, phone ring tones, expensive weddings, store bought cakes/cupcakes, fake grass/colored rock landscaping, overpaying/over borrowing for higher education.
Hummers... I've rarely ever seen someone pull off the style you need to have to not look tacky.

I'm still holding my judgement on caviar. I assume there's a reason that it's so popular, and not just because it's expensive, which is to say that I think the people shelling out to eat it wouldn't do so if it tasted like fish ass.
I’ve had it and while it’s good it’s often served with hard boiled eggs and crackers so it kinda tasted like those things. I would say it’s overrated.

have you ever driven a BMW? Not one of the SUVs but like a 3 series?
it's considered something fancy for a reason, the cars are quality engineering and have a unique quality to the feeling of it's drive
a unique quality to the feeling of it's drive
I have to admit I'm skeptical, and not just because it sounds written by a marketing team.
Things like the subjective feeling of something are strongly socially determined. When we're told something is fancy or high quality we have a different and better experience of that thing.
As humans it's rarely possible to separate our experience of a thing from our judgements of the people and identities we associate with it.

Food with gold leaf. It doesn't add to the taste, it doesn't add to the look, but rich people and wannabe alike love it because it has gold and they have trash taste. If i went fine dining and see a gold leaf covered food, imma send it back because it's aurum contaminated. And i said it as someone who won't ever set foot in fine dining restaurant.
Why is it an objectively trashy: it's a simplest way to appease those wealth chaser and showoff, yet it takes 0 effort to apply it and overcharging their food.

And gold leaf isn't even that expensive
A single leaf is so thin, that is costs only a little over a buck. The tiny piece of gold on your fancy food? Only a couple cents
But you can bet your ass that you will pay way more than that

Especially for draft dodgers, imagine one of those would ask for a military parade for his birthday.

Both things can be true though, bmw does have marketing which will effect our impressions of driving one but at the same time there are objective differences in quality between a 3 series bmw and say a Honda Civic that you will definitely notice when driving one.
You can argue the beemer is overpriced and that marketing had an effect but that doesn't eliminate the differences entirely.

Saw a thing about the world's most expensive pizza ($2k+) the other night. Squid ink pizza dough, caviar, truffles, gold leaf, etc. It looked revolting.

I used to work in the seafood industry and I got invited to a seafood expo once. There were tons of vendors and since I'm super poor and not fancy, i ate everything. Figured I'd never get another chance. I ate so much caviar and roe that day.
It's fuckin' nasty. Every species and preparation I tried. Tbf I was at an expo, not a nice resturant, but also tbf, it was an expo, they were trying to market their best products.

Making champagne bottles pop.
To quote one of my old sommeliers, opening a bottle of sparkling wine should be "as quiet as a nun's fart in Mass".
