Great trash can. Why the h*ll is this expensive
I’m writing this review for a trash can. You might be like myself and entered the world of trash can shopping completely blown away at the price of trash cans. My girlfriend and I moved into a new house and she bought an 89 dollar futuristic microwave. It was red. She then said “you can buy the trash can” since we needed a new one. I thought what is she an idiot? I’m gonna spend WAY less money than her. Little did I know I was the idiot and she already did her trash can research.
When you first begin looking at trash cans to purchase, much like you know now, the prices are insane. It’s like looking at old authentic baseball cards and saying “who in the hell would pay this much for that”. I was blown away. It’s ridiculous. It’s a trash can. This trash can cost 75 dollars. With bags it’s 85 dollars. Let’s compare a microwave that costs 5 more dollars.
Microwave: warms food. Uses energy. Is literally using heat and energy to warm something. It can kill bacteria. If you get it hot enough it can kill covid bacteria I’m sure. You can get cancer if you just stand there staring at it long enough. 89 dollars for a microwave. Reasonable.
Now let’s think about a trash can.
You open it up and throw garbage in it. The end. 75 dollar? Not worth it.
It’s made of stainless Steele. That’s uh. Nice. I guess you can put magnets on it? It opens with a door step. That I guess cost 50 of the 75 dollars cause Idk what the hell else the engineering department of a trash can company would charge you. I am happy. But I damn well better be it cost less to make coffee in the morning every day for four years then it was to throw garbage in a silver square box with a lid. Guys. It’s 2020. Don’t charge us 75 dollars for a trash can.
If you’re wealthy or you simply want to please your spouse then buy this. It’s fancy. It’s worth about 30 dollars. The rest of the money uh well. You’re out of luck. But you got a really decent trash can for 75 dollars! You can bring it up constantly just like I do. “Hey nice trash can huh? That cost 75 dollars”
