Title: Are there any food/brands/products that you have been using and gatekeeping
Post by: Arctic on Jan 08, 2025, 10:53 PM
I was a medic/dental assistant in ns and many dentists recommended Systema toothbrush (compact, soft) so I have been using Systema since then

From major supermkt loh, I buy those bundle pack of 3, just nice for 1 yr

Then for toothpaste and dental floss, I get from valushop, at least 50% cheaper. Also get 1 yr's worth of supply

Oral-b dental floss is the best ($2.50). I tried other brands ($1) but they sucks, either the floss not waxed or floss is too thick

The bakery in my plaza seems to be a sinkie owner. I try my best to support the waffles.

The watch/battery shop operated by old couples, I always go there top up my parents sim card even though I can conveniently do it online at home. Hope they can earn something. In the end, the rental still kills their biz. One mth 5-6k rental for half a shop lot that is much smaller than 2-cubible toilet.

Eggs is a must have. Don't have will die.  :s12:

i dropped my phone like first or second time last week, lagi kam pua tulan coz i usually damn careful

got put the protective covering but i scared internal damage liao. i really dont intend to change phone this yr (using S23)

hope can last till 2026 then change. unless is win toto la

pokka lychee tea is rly quite nice tbh

no teva for me. i feel kam pua expensive. my pair of weinsbrenner sandals last like maybe 10 yrs liao leh. but i dont wear often except at corridor or going downstairs but still last v long liao

I used to hate Samsung. Tried many other brands but sadly they either pull out of the mobilephone biz or close shop totally haha, dun like ios either. Luckily at the same time, Samsung begin to improve so I switched to Samsung. But I only use their A series cos i can't bear to spend $1k on flgaships

S23 launched in 2023, can use for 7 yrs leh. 2026 change phone....knn you rich man

$500 phone use for 5 yrs i/o of $1k phone use for 7 yrs. Many reviewers rate A series capability as 80% of flagships so it's a good deal I guess.

Weirdly, Pokka lychee tea quite difficult to find in supermarkets. At one time I even thot the product is discontinued. I think I from 2000 drink until now, iirc the packaging also din change

Teva used to be cheap. Before covid it's ard $29.90 or lower but after that they thot they are LV, open own shop and sell at $50. I bought a pair 2 days ago cos my crocs snapped and Teva is having a sale online, $38 for the slippers I wanted. Mush ftw!

actually i feel for everything either u go for the near cheapest or the best

the middle one really dont hit the notes. last time i used the cheapest redmi when it first came out... i think i used it during 2013 or sth. dunno how i tong with the phone for 1 yr or sth

Samsung guarantees 7 yrs of software support for all their flagships, 5 yrs for non flagships

Last time non flagships are indeed crap cos my mum is using it but past 5 yrs their non flagships are much better now. In fact, I believe it's the same for other brands too as long you you dun get those $100-$200 ones. Best is stick to those in the $500 range

I had used 4 A series so far, all ok leh, all nv been to svc ctr before, no green/pink lines. I read online, all the green line issues are on flagships, non on A series

Hahah then I'm the total opposite of you, I always go for mid range stuff cos I'm an average guy.
My previous phone is A51, current is A54. I purposely din buy the newest A55 cos A54 is cheaper, smaller and I can change phone 4 yrs later instead of having to wait 5 yrs. Price wise is the same if divided by yrs of usage. A54 $400 4 yrs, A55 $500 5 yrs.

Too cheap confirm lousy. Bought a $10 slippers at the mall 2 days ago , it's crap. Bought some stuff at mr. diy before, also crap

Too high end and expensive stuff is overkill, paying for features I dun need, use or appreciate

actually i dont game also, so the phone a bit wasted. but i feel if it's flagship maybe better support and less issues?

most of my stuff i buy is either top or lowest but not all lah. like maybe things like taps? go for middle one no need high end. china ones rly shit.

like paint u also will buy not top of the range nippon mah, more of their mid/higher since u usually paint at most once few yrs

so far ok. middling stuff usually is more towards low end though.

Electrical/electronics stuff sometimes is heng sway one. I had different devices from different brands over the yrs. Some within first week spoil have to do an exchange, some need to go svc ctr

My parents' Hitachi fridge spoil after many yrs so we bought a new one also Hitachi brand. New one spoil after 2 yrs....in the end bought a samsung fridge. Til now still ok

But I have to agree that I prefer Japanese brands over korean or amdk brand although Japanese brands are rarely made in Japan now

Samsung is too big to fail, duno account for how many % of korea gdp. Their web of coys also damn confusing, a small shell coy is actually the controlling stakeholder of all the coys. Very interesting , can watch on youtube
