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.

I've heard them called "bicycle-shaped objects"

Eh, I can't fault it too much considering tires usually last over a thousand miles and most people buying a walmart bike aren't riding thousands of miles.

I don't agree with the general sentiment though, riding a well-maintained aluminum frame bike after thousands of miles on a slow ass walmart bike is such a different experience.
