Plagued Consoomers / Consoomer Culture - Because if it has a recogniseable brand on it, I’d buy it!

What he could do is what I've done in communal fridge situations – get a bottle or jar with a wire clamp lid (this is an IKEA one simply because lots of countries have that chain) and put a cheap padlock over the wire loop on the lid—either combination or key depending on whether the clients are more likely to filch a key or guess a number. It wouldn't completely prevent tampering, but would make it much more difficult.

I don't know why but the image of a milk bottle locked with a padlock is extremely funny to me. Ghetto aesthetic

It's weird that there isn't a dozen of the things being advertised on consoomer channels. Quite a few professions involve working with large numbers of shitheads and creeps that you don't want touching your food and drink.

That would require a consumer goods industry concerned with the desires of the consumer. Regrettably, the industry we have instead is concerned more with selling consumers products it's already produced rather than products that might serve consumers better.

You can put the bottle in the box.

I almost posted a video about reeeestocking aesthetics yesterday, it featured this woman. I guess I'll post it now. Watch at least the first segment featuring the ✨artisan ice cubes.✨
Basically these people make a living by showcasing products and then shilling you their affiliate links so they make a commission off of the crap their audience purchases.

Restock influencers/aesthetics as a trend actually isn't new. I remember years ago it was one of the first things I saw on tiktok. It's just become really huge now and is an established business model.

I've seen this a couple of times for ebay businesses funny enough. The majority of their sales seems to come from tiktok/youtube/instagram shorts of them organizing their stock, which is both an ad for the new thing and brings in people who just like watching organization.

Also I find none of the ones she showed satisfying. Give me someone showing their granny closet packed to the brim with random crap and organizing it. This just looks sad and corporate, though I guess that's the intention on the corporate part.

It looks like some weird tea to me. What is it?

That was a fuckton of acrylic trays. And a fuckton of lotions and potions. And gadgets. I'm the furthest thing from a beauty person or a neat freak, but it was just so over the top. How much goop can a single person put on her face?

I only see one thing being poured in the video so I'm not sure why they said that, but the liquid is an exfoliating toner and she's pouring it into a dispenser, not a humidifier. It's $35 at Sephora, not 80. You press down on the lid of the dispenser and it saturates the pad with liquid which you then apply to your face. You can use that type of dispenser for skincare products, nail polish, makeup remover, etc.

It costs $75 where I live so I thought it was standard. I still don't know why you would use an alternative dispenser for Tatcha which has some of the nicest bottles I've seen from a skincare company. But I'm also not a fan of using cotton pads so idk

She wants to use a dispenser because it's just another junk gadget she can showcase and get a commission from if you buy it through her link. I agree I wouldn't use the dispenser for that, but I do like it for nail polish remover. What do you use instead of cotton pads? I don't like using microfiber or other type of fabric, because I worry that you can't get it perfeclty clean idk

For applying AHA? I just use my fingers lol. If you mean for nail polish remover I do use cotton pads for that, I meant I do not see the point of using them for your skin as they just soak up product that ends up going in the trash.

You've got to hand it to TikTok. Those Chinese commie bastards somehow found a way to make women even MORE materialistic and desperate for attention.

Yeah, dude, women are privileged because they get to put goop on their faces. I'm just going to sit in front of the TV and contemplate my privilege while marathoning Jackass.

Jesus, what planet do you live on? :story: I see grown men acting like absolute morons every Friday and Saturday night. Get the stick out of your arse and get some analog friends. Join a sports team or something.

I watched this video too and thought it was great at explaining the purpose of the content. If you're not going to sit there and feel bad that you don't have a freezer full of flowers frozen in soda water, then sure indulge in the satisfaction of the restock.

I hope this type of content gains more traction this year and we start to see more people embrace "de-influencing" or whatever buzzword that is appropriate.

If I really want to make ice, I just get one of these for 6 bucks on Amazon

Making ice, a consumable, fancy, is retarded. I get why you're captivated, it is incredibly stupid, and it's funny that they're basically putting value on frozen tap water. But gosh dang, it feels like a craft a 10yo would do, not a full blown adult.
