    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.

                  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.

                    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

                      I think that that's pretty much a subjective question. I could tell you what I find tacky, but it won't be a universal. Some people will have different positions, and there isn't one "correct" view to have. It's like asking what the best flavor of ice cream is, or the best song.

                          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.

                              Hummers... I've rarely ever seen someone pull off the style you need to have to not look tacky.

                                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.

                                  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.

                                    Lol. I ain't good at content creation AFAIK. Jack of all trades, master of like 2 at best.

                                    J Kenji Alt Lopez and Alton Brown are pretty good for the more technical side of things tho

                                      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.
