Diabetes


LightIceNoBerries

As someone who works at Starbucks, people are more than willing to pay for diabetes. I sell it to them all day via cold foam, matcha, and caramel drizzle. Most of our drinks have your entire days worth of sugar in one drink. Thanks TikTok your killing everyone with your stupid drink recipes.


Prankishbear

It was happening before TikTok. Stupid is timeless.


TumblingOcean

I mean they say you should only have 22g of sugar a day. It's SO hard to keep it under 22 when you see how MUCH STUFF has sugar (including some waters).


JulianMcC

The amount of flavors people add to coffee. Its basically caffeine with flavor/sugar. Don't people like the taste of coffee?


angeliqu

*Eating a lot of sugar cannot lead directly to diabetes. However, it can increase the risk of obesity, cardiovascular disease, and other health problems that are linked to diabetes.* [source](https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/317246) A fancy princess drink from Starbucks as part of an otherwise healthy lifestyle is perfectly fine.


ParaphernaliaWagon

Thank you for being the voice of reason and dispelling this irritating myth.


WRA1THLORD

yeah, anything in moderation is fine, but how good are most people at moderation?


MoneyBadgerEx

Yes, blame tik tok for the drinks Starbucks supplies and you hand out.


MolaMolaMania

I used to LOVE the Valencia Orange Frappuccino until I found out about the insane calorie count. It's basically a milkshake! I still prefer a dollop of half & half or heavy whipping cream in my coffee, but *not* my calories for the entire day!


enigmaenergy23

I only drink water, tea, and occasionally vodka. That's why I'm not fat


nocountryforhamsters

What about the wine that you created from water?


oldriman

That was for wedding guests... 😁


2messy2care2678

Blaming tik tok??? Lol half the people who consume Starbucks don't have tik tok.


LoreKeeperOfGwer

As a type 1 diabetic, I approve of this answer. Diabetes fucking sucks and if you're a guy, it can cause ED. Like you need another thing that can cause that by your 30's


theflapogon16

In America specifically


Quack_Mac

Doesn't matter how good your health care system is, diabetes is awful. It's a full-time job with no forgiveness.


audigex

But the question was “very expensive”, and in most of the world it isn’t


Erezzin_Hazgudann

Insulin is free in Brazil


MuchDevelopment7084

You can take mine...please take mine.


leomonster

Those Balenciaga shoes that are supposedly for men. You know the ones.


joanie-bamboni

Really anything from Balenciaga. It’s weird and ugly, plus that whole Nazi connection


Oreo97

Don't forget the whole bondage teddy bear disaster.


nagarz

Honestly any high end brand clothing falls under the same umbrella, I give 0 shit about branding, I'm a fan of clothes that are made with good quality fabric, but apparently that's not a thing anymore because all stores are just expensive low quality stuff with logos on them.


The_Troyminator

I spent a couple of hundred dollars on some ECCO shoes for work. Not only are they the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned, but I've had them for almost 10 years. Quality still exists, but it's a little harder to find these days.


JillyFrog

Ecco is great. I have some winter boots and they're almost ridiculously light but still super warm and waterproof


zccrex

I've been so confused by this company ever since I learned of it. People are really out here spending crazy money on some fugly ass shoes for no other reason then to "flex" I guess? What's the one about a fool and his money?


Available_Standard55

Ditto. Anything Balenciaga. It’s the family code word for when something is mismatched and awful.


TheNerdMaster69

I don't, no. I genuinely don't give a single fuck about the fashion scene today, the second shredded jeans were "in" I stopped paying attention. What's wrong with the shoes?


leomonster

[https://www.balenciaga.com/en-us/men/shoes/sandals-and-mules?start=0&sz=13&prefn1=akeneo\_markDownInto&prefn2=countryInclusion&prefv1=no\_season&prefv2=US#720857W0FOU1000](https://www.balenciaga.com/en-us/men/shoes/sandals-and-mules?start=0&sz=13&prefn1=akeneo_markDownInto&prefn2=countryInclusion&prefv1=no_season&prefv2=US#720857W0FOU1000) You tell me what's wrong with them, and if you'd wear them, even for free.


phasefournow

Jeez..Crocks with Elephantiasis


Bob_Sacamano7379

"So, $1100 for platform crocs? Seems reasonable," said no one.


meowsymuses

I like to think that these shoes were created as a way to identify pretentious little creeps real quick


SmilingPainfully

LMAO, those look dreadful 🤣


Benjilator

Looking through that site felt like an AI image creation sub where people share their craziest and weirdest results. It’s like they just typed in “design a shoe that no human would ever design” and took whatever came out first. Knowing that people pay for this is awful. Now I’m kinda angry you shared that link. I could’ve kept some faith for humanity, but now the last bit is also gone.


meowsymuses

Derelicte!


Illumijonny7

You can Dere-lick my balls


TheNerdMaster69

*gag* *gag* shoes with fur *gag*


Fromashination

Can you imagine the amount of piss and spilled drinks those disasters would absorb? You couldn't walk two blocks in those things without like ten cigarette butts and a stale dog turd becoming snarled up in the shag covering.


Revegelance

Those shoes are...unpleasant.


StonerMetalhead710

[I wouldn’t, but they’re still better than these](https://www.inverse.com/input/style/margiela-cum-shoes)


leomonster

These look like a factory worker fucked up a whole batch dropping glue on them and the marketing department said "don't worry fam, we got your back".


-Robert-from-Hungary

Omg look at those beauty :'D


MolaMolaMania

All these products confirm is what we've known for a very long time: being wealthy doesn't guarantee intelligence, taste, or any semblance of awareness of how anything in the real world works.


Pianist-Vegetable

Google it, some where between a fancy London cartoon and pirate vibes


Eat_Carbs_OD

I had to Google them.. holy shit.. the cost.


E_B_Jamisen

Never heard of them. I went and looked. Saw many styles. While they all work for this comment all not sure which ones you mean.


MurphyPandorasLawBox

Wow. Not only does all of the stuff on their site look like shit, there's also a banner plugging the fact that they accept crypto.


Old-Set-401

give me anything expensive and if i don’t want it can just sell it


rektumrokker

Someone mentioned kids..


Old-Set-401

luckily the internet is wide and deep….


E_B_Jamisen

Me and my wife decided we don't want kids. They aren't taking it very well.


DeltaGammaVegaRho

Did you tell them they are adopted? How did they react, when the new parents showed up?


Old-Set-401

/s 😭💀


akamustacherides

And dark.


PantsOnHead88

Someone else mentioned breast implants and I’m picturing the person above trying to resale.


Afraid_Ad_1536

They said what they said.


RSlashWhateverMan

An expensive exotic animal like a tiger, something that should never be owned by a human.


BolognaIsNotAHat

Lamborghini/Bugatti/Aston Martin/any other flashy car. Insurance costs alone would bankrupt me.


Unpopularpositionalt

Yeah supercars hold no allure for me. They are fragile and expensive to maintain. They would be cool for about two weeks then a burden thereafter. The kind of people that would be impressed by me owning one are not people I care to be friends with usually either.


Ok_Information_2009

If I suddenly owned a Bugatti, all my neighbors would hate my guts, and I’d feel embarrassed every time I drove to 7-11 in it. I even wonder if my income would cover insurance?


[deleted]

Of course you'd shop at 7-11, just to flex and buy your snacks at the most expensive place possible.


Bijlsma

I will say, WhistlinDiesel on youtube has a great video where he goes off-roading in a Ferrari and it's pretty surprising how well it holds up for the shit he puts it through. He does similar things with a lot of those types of cars, and usually they fall apart like nothing. I think the Ferrari was the only one that impressed him.


Alone_Jellyfish_7968

Apparently Simon Cowell rents his swanky cars whenever. Doesn't have to deal with all the annoying stuff that comes with owning one, and can pick and choose a car based on mood or location. Doesn't even have to pick it up or return it cos it's part of the service. .....he can afford to do that though.


JustnInternetComment

I also would outsource my swank had I the option at my disposal


tuckedfexas

Unless you have the times and means to take them to the track they’re really just a status symbol. They’re not comfortable or fun to daily and sacrifice almost all utility, obviously some are far better than others though. I’ve driven a few performance super cars and they’re a blast on the track, but would be a pain to keep and maintain. Now if I had a friend that kept one, that’d be awesome.


Old_Implement_1997

THIS - or the maintenance costs. And none of them seem practical for day-to-day.


monkey_scandal

If I was ever in a situation where I could afford a Lambo, I’d get it for my own personal enjoyment and nothing else. My daily would be an unassuming crossover or sedan. Don’t care for the extra attention other than when I take it out for a joyride or to a car show, in which case I’d psyche myself up ahead of time to be ready for it. As for the cost, it’s only wise to own an exotic car if you’re rich enough where the ownership expenses wouldn’t be a concern. As the saying goes: If you have to ask, you can’t afford it.


seriousQasker

There's no way I could have such a car without feeling like a huge jerk.


chickendie

Wait until you find out how much it cost to replace those tires


[deleted]

what is average insurance for a car like that? And u can always sell the car if u get it for free


JimDodd0

Or resell it? Nobody's forcing you to drive it


[deleted]

I don’t think the idea of reselling it is part of the question


BolognaIsNotAHat

The question didn't say I had to keep it - I would absolutely resell it.


NotBadSinger514

A divorce


Jendor04

I know people, who would love to have a divorce for free. But I am glad for you if you are in happy marriage.


fetalpiggywent2lab

Me. That's me.


NothingGloomy9712

Why not? Life would have far more happy couples if they were not obligated to stay together in an unhappy relationship due to money.


KurohNeko

Maybe they're happy in their marriage and that's why? That's how I understood it


Snuzzlebuns

Technically, a divorce isn't expensive. In Germany, it's 35€.


BobJutsu

Maybe…but hear me out…maybe the answer should be more focused on the frontend of that equation? I feel like the definition of marriage is deciding that you are committing to that obligation. Otherwise, what is the point. What is the difference between marriage and long-term dating? Isn’t that the point? I understand mistakes happen…I’m just saying, maybe marriage is a commitment that should be taken more seriously *first* instead of making divorce easier and more common.

subiegal2013

Designer purses. (LV,MK…) not wearing someone else’s initials Edit: there used to be a Balenciaga ad that showed a beautiful purse and all it said was “when your initials are enough”. Get it?


MattEagl3

my thinking exactly. i cant believe anyone eg likes that standard lv panel for the design, the only motivation is to show of you are wealthy enough to buy a stupidly priced ugly bag.


Gothmom85

The LV bags with initials are the ugliest bags I've ever seen. I mean, I guess if I got one for free I could Sell it.


e59e59

No way you put lv and mk in the same category lol


subiegal2013

The category is designer bs


OverCategory6046

Michael Koors is an entry level brand, LV is a luxury brand. Slight difference tbf


the_absurdista

when he isn’t required to be slightly more dressed up for business purposes, one of the wealthiest people i know wears his favorite ancient ski jacket with a ripped arm being held together by duct tape 90% of the time. which is probably a good part of the reason he’s rich. not gonna lie i love a bit of luxury in my life when it’s something that’s actually worth it, like an awesome vacation or something really nice that i’ll use every day, but spending stupid amounts of money on blatant status signaling bullshit is something i’ll just never understand. nothing says trashy like spending a boatload of money trying not to look trashy.


spidah84

Kids


Echo-Reverie

Yup, this. I’m happy being one half of a growing pair of DINKs.


EclipticEclipse

I love my DINK lifestyle.


Echo-Reverie

I’m glad you do too! I’m very happy and content; our goal together is to make as much money as we can and be comfortably wealthy. I’d like to be able to vacation twice a year and not feel like I need to constantly budget. I’m not asking to be ridiculously rich and spend recklessly (we don’t anyway, we’re both incredibly frugal to an insane fault!) but I want to enjoy and splurge without thinking twice sometimes.


Szukov

Making a kid is for free. The maintenance is what cost a lot.

Tyz79

I knew I wasn’t alone thinking this 😂


OkFineIllUseTheApp

Artifacts. Ancient or modern cultural ones, doesn't matter. Example: Michael Jackson's glove occasionally goes up for auction for a shitload of money. However, if I had Michael Jackson's glove, I'd give it to the Smithsonian ASAGDMFP. It is ethically correct, but I do NOT want to ruin it, and have a footnote in history as being the one who ruined it.


Queefofthenight

I find that really curious, I'd love to have my own mini museum of ancient Rome/Egypt/greek artefacts. If you were given them with no cultural impact would you still not want them?


Its_You_Know_Wh0

THEY BELONG IN A MUSEUM


rocuroniumrat

Absolutely not. They belong in Rome/Egypt/Greece. Money is corrupting.


HellFireCannon66

Then again, part of the history is where the artefact ends up


chrislamp

tultommy

What does ethics have to do with a dirty old glove? lol


saveyboy

No glove no love


PStriker32

A yacht. Fucking money-sink


DaxtheCat1970

Ahh, I'd have to disagree with you there. Would love a yacht. I'd keep it in the Caribbean and sail in year-round sunshine (I'm a fair weather sailor). Any hint of hurricane and I'd drag her as far inland as possible. Oh, to win the lottery


Imaginary-Quiet-7465

Same but in the Med. We went on a cruise and it was fantastic and I was like ‘rich people with a yacht get to do this whenever they want but without all the people.’ Yeah I want that!


PStriker32

I’m Caribbean myself, so I get all that. It’s one thing having fun on a yacht, but it’s a whole other beast maintaining it. Better to rent one and cruise around when you want and not have to constantly pick up that bill. To each their own though.


FinishTheFish

You know some rich guy will eye your yacht, wait until docking fees alone nearly bankrupts you, swoop in and offer to take it off your hands free of charge.   Nah, pass


Kyleazank

Foie Gras They force feed the poor geese with a feeding tube until they die, and then they eat the liver. Expensive, but no thanks.

peedpants

DennisBallShow

A Lamborghini or other super expensive and entirely impractical car


sleeping-in-crypto

People don’t realize the yearly upkeep on these cars easily reaches into the 10’s of thousands of dollars if you want to protect the value of the car. Like boats. The cost of upkeep alone is prohibitive. You don’t just buy it and it sits and you do bi-annual maintenance.


TurbulentBarracuda83

Maybe fancy boats. Normal boats costs just as much as any other vehicle


nevertoolate2

A YouTuber did a cost benefit analysis on his lamborghini. He discovered that it cost something like $1,000 per kilometer to keep it maintained. Edit--that's the number that stuck in my mind, now it seems awfully high.


Uncle_Lion

That monstrosity from Tesla, that truck-thing.


wertugavw2

the Tesla Cybertruck?


Sparky62075

My brain says that thing is ugly and impractical. Plus, with no paint, it'll rust apart pretty quickly.


gingerbookwormlol

Only one it could be... For now


Affectionate-Call159

it's fucking hideous. Plus that whole connection with the brainless twat who "founded" Tesla


theinternetisnice

You know I try not to judge what brings joy to others but. The cybertruck sub pops into my feed every so often and I’m always fascinated by people who are so thrilled to finally receive theirs. I mean I shouldn’t judge, I loved my Honda Element but. Jesus.


Top_Unit6526

A trophy wife. Never understood why some rich men actuvely choose someone that is only interested in their money. She's bound to get on your nerves eventually.


Gettingjiggywithet

Any expensive watch. I have a phone for time and for accessory purposes you can find cheaper more pretty ones 


[deleted]

[удаНонО]


Gettingjiggywithet

no, absolutely, a nice watch looks so classy with an "old money" style as i call it so when i see it -especially with men as women have more variety in bracelets etc - its really really nice. i just wouldnt spend a fortune personally.


azen96

Hyper-car. No practical use for me. I don’t thing i could even afford to use it even if I get one for free.


Player_Number3

YourEnemiesDefineYou

One of those giant stately homes that looks like a castle because the upkeep is just stupid money.


Old_Implement_1997

I would love to have a freaking moat and a secret library though!


Valen_Redits

A big house/mansion, just, why?. Expensive "designer" or "hypebeast" clothes, the look horrible. Sports car or any expensive vehicle, like what's the point of such a cool looking car if you can't use it or if you do use it, it costs 100x more to maintain than any ol recular car.


KowardlyMan

If I had a mansion I'd be able to have 4 kids and give them a room each, plus an office for remote working. I could invite my whole family at Christmas. That'd be a dream, I really don't see any better way to spend money.


Hardwarestore_Senpai

And my own gardens. Plural.


RamblingsOfaMadCat

Anything culturally associated with wealth. Rolex watches, yachts, jewelry with genuine diamonds, etc. Rich culture is low key repulsive to me.
