Fell for the bulk spice bin hype at my local grocery store
I spent $35 on a giant bag of paprika from the bulk aisle thinking it was a steal, but it turned out to be basically sawdust with red dye after two weeks. The flavor faded so fast I had to triple the amount in every recipe just to taste it, and now I'm stuck with a ziplock of useless powder. Has anyone else gotten burned by buying bulk spices that went stale way faster than the jarred stuff?

Rip, you paid $35 for fancy dust.

Oh man, that's exactly what I was thinking... @finley_harris5 what even is "fancy dust" supposed to do that regular dust can't? Did they at least promise it would make your computer run faster or smell like vanilla or something? I swear some of these tech accessories are just marked up because they look sleek in a unboxing video. People get so caught up in the hype and forget a basic pack of compressed air works just as well for like five bucks.
