What are some items that really aren't worth paying the expensive version for?
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.

you have a good point with "use" as a differentiator.
this is similar to buying non-potable water vs potable, with pretty much the potable water being more expensive.
I think it's within reasonable bounds because the extra cost comes from the added iodine or the minute minerals in maldon to add the extra taste.
Maldon is a sea salt, the extra cost comes from the extraction method rather than adding anything. I don't think it tastes noticeably different, but the large crystals stop it from clumping together and gives you better distribution when sprinkling it over stuff.
this dimension isn't real
Or cleaning vinegar vs. malt vinegar vs. balsamic vinegar.
