What's expensive but cheaply made

Depends how you look at it.
Economies of scale mean a smartphone can be manufactured for a tiny fraction of it's selling price.
If you were to "reverse-engineer" your takeaway you'd probably be shocked at how little the ingredients actually cost. |

Practically everything these days, built to last is a thing of the past. What company wants to sell you something that's going to last 20yrs. Most things now have a 5yr lifespan, capitalism at its. |

"Disposable razors"
Hell yes. Not to mention those multi blade buggers are absolutely awful for your skin.
I've got very sensitive skin. Shaving was always a nightmare. My face felt like I had 3rd degree burns afterwards.
A bit of research and I've gone over to the old school single blade safety razors. Much much closer and cleaner shave. And no more shaving rash because I don't have multiple blunted blades tearing my skin up.
For the price of one pack of multi blade bits of tat I can buy 100 safety blades.
Do yourselves a favor gents. Ditch the multiblade rubbish and go old school. Your skin will thank you for it. |

Yeah I don't do the whole trend thing. I don't do fashion either. Not about to grow a beard just because everyone else has one. Watched my dad picking food out of his growing up. Put me off for life. |

"Pizza Hut, used to know a lad who worked there, he said it’s cost them about 12p to make a pizza and what they banging them out for about £20 ?
The mr "
Not quite true was a manager for them, cost of pineapple on a large Hawaiian is 12p alone, is the most expensive topping they do, cheapest is sweet corn!
Loss leader was stuff crust pizza as the time takes to stuff the crusts.
Biggest mark up is garlic bread it costs about 2p per slice. |
