What is your pettiest reason for disliking a product or brand? đ đ»[Misc]
Has to be petty!! Examples of petty reasons I havenât purchased something:
-Itâs in a dropper bottle
-Itâs in one of those dumb wide mouth jars (looking at you facetheory)
-The branding is over-the-top cutesy or childish (e.g. Elizavecca)
-They advertised the product as âcleanâ
-They advertised a useless but fancy sounding âhero ingredientâ even if itâs not actually the ingredient doing the heavy lifting. For example, itâs an effective soothing serum with niacinamide 2% and panthenol 1% but itâs called âCalming Emulsion with Hokkaido Lily and Babassu Waterâ đ
-The name of the brand triggers anti-aging anxiety (Age 20âs, Youth to the People, etc)
-They used annoying overly complicated scientific terms in the product description to seem âhigh techâ e.g. ârheology modifierâ instead of âthickenerâ - for freaking xanthan gum đ (cc NIOD, The Ordinary, facetheoryâŠ)
-Their menâs line formulas are identical to the lines marketed to women, but cheaper. Looking at you Clinique. I donât care if I can technically just buy the menâs product, Iâm offended by the capitalist cynicism/exploitation of your core customer base.
