What is something really stupid you purchased that turned out far better than expected?

I bought a piece of 1.5 inch stiff foam to try to fix a sag in a bed. It didn't work but having that thick piece of solid foam around has been a life saver.

Need something flat to put a laptop on? Throw it on the foam. Going to be doing something that requires you to be on your knees for a while? Get the foam!

It went from stupid purchase to something I'd gladly replace if it broke.

Altough it is not really stupid, I bought the game Witcher 3 expecting I would'nt like it much. Turned out it is the best game I've played and bought the expansions too

i have a copy just sitting there. i was told to try it. still sitting there! i dont know whats wrong with me

The good news is they updated the game in late 2022, so now when you get around to giving it a try the experience should be improved 😁
