I always have trouble buying shoes, most shops don’t stock my size in the first place, and sizes vary greatly across manufacturers, and even styles. Now when i find shoes that fit, i go order at least another 2 pairs online to avoid having to hunt down a new pair that fit well.

One bizarre one, i find when i find some foodstuff i like, the shop will eventually discontinue it, it seems almost personal…



Lidl has trialed vegan lasagna a couple times now. It sells out so incredibly fast all across the country, to the cries of many vegans in Facebook and reddit communities. And yet they discontinued it years ago. I don't understand the economics of it, but I would assume such a popular product would be a no brainier.


There is a marketing demographic of people who like products that fail in the market. I'm pretty sure I'm in it and you probably are, too.
