I saw this post and wanted to ask the opposite. What are some items that really aren’t worth paying the expensive version for? Preferably more extreme or unexpected examples.

    The difference between soda is very noticeable to me. Some store-brand sodas taste almost flat.

    I can’t tell much a difference between wines of the same type. They taste slightly different, but I can’t say which taste “better.”

    Cheap liquor seems “harsher” than more expensive liquor; even with vodka, which doesn’t really have a taste. The difference in taste of say, the regular Jim Beam and a barrel-proof bourbon is pretty noticeable.

    I’ve noticed no difference in 100% fruit juice by brand. Well, except for orange juice.

    Tea quality is very noticeable to me, but I’m a heavy tea drinker.

    Even different water brands have different tastes. But, as long as it’s not my tap water (which is very hard and smells like a swimming pool), I don’t really care.
