      This one of the products that have no rights to exist in this world. It should’ve stayed a fad where it died off silently because of how inadequate it is for long term production. It’s a product which solves no real world problem, and sold simply because the impulsiveness of capitalism told them to without questioning it.

      And so the only reason this is so common is because they had deep pockets for the marketing budget.
