Two things that have been very relevant to me recently:
Car washes. If you want the best outcome, wash it yourself. If you're just trying to knock some grime off, the cheapest one will do. The finishing sprays don't last a week.
Also beverages when hosting a party. No need to buy name brand when store brand is half the cost and will get drank the same anyway.
People will drink it, but they may also remember. I have a cousin at whose house I turn tea-totaller, because the beer & wine they offer at parties is literally the cheapest stuff available and it's fucking horrible.
I think you may have meant teetotaller
Huh. Cool stuff. Today I tee-totally learned something new.
Nice. Although someone only ever drinking tea does humour me. They're being a tea-totaller XD
FWIW I was mainly talking about things like soda. The difference between store brand and name brand drinks is almost unnoticeable in taste but costs half as much. I agree that the cheapest beer is borderline undrinkable though
Fair enough I can see that.
He can bring his own then
Some people will absolutely know the difference.
Used to do this in college all the time... drink the good shit myself then bring the shit that tastes like paint thinner to the party in the same bottle. Just make sure you pour the first drink so no on realizes it's open already.
Bro it was college. You could've brought the vlad bottle and people would still drink it.
This is borderline KenM. I almost want to upvote you.
