Trash cans.

in #shopping8 years ago (edited)

It started off with a simple search on a regional popular shopping site. The return result selection went progressively more expensive as I scrolled down the list. In my mind, who in the world would want to buy and yet use it to hold trash?




Upping the ante a little, I searched for the most expensive trash can, low and behold there were a few. Ranging from the chart topping gold trash can which has appreciating store value, holding ones garbage and artist signature rarity to a high tech , patented device carrying a fruit logo on it which happen to be a mess.

There was even a public dumpster with trademark logo of a popular fashion brand covering it.

Value for money, practical to the obscene price tag, one thing remains constant. That is human capability of outdoing themselves in seemingly turning an ordinary object into an extreme version. From toilet bowl to mobile phones, out there could be someone with an epiphany, "can we make an exclusive premium item out of this?"
