Everyone falls for clever marketing schemes sometimes. Marketing is a teachable skill for a reason, and some companies have some great tactics. Some products promise something that they cannot deliver. Some people make up cures or solutions to problems using products they make and sell. Some of these kinds of products take off, gaining the trust of millions. People have to be skeptical, though, because some of these products are not what they say they are, or they are overpriced and kind of a rip-off.

There are tons of popular places, products, and services out there that people use every single day that they may not realize are not worth it. Some of them are annoying because they are the only thing in their market, others are clear scams we can't believe some people fell for. Whatever it may be, not every company is to be trusted.

Here we have collected 23 photos of products, items, services and other popular things people use every day that just might not be worth the price tag. They are easy to fall for and that is kind of annoying.
