Spent $45 on a 'banned book' box that was just a bunch of public domain classics with edgy covers

That reminds me of the time a friend got a "mystery vinyl" subscription. Three months in a row it was just represses of Thriller with different colored plastic. The whole point is you're supposed to get something obscure. Felt like such a scam for what they charged.

My buddy got a "curated" coffee subscription that sent the same generic dark roast every month. They just slapped a different fictional artisan name on the bag each time. The whole business model seems to be repackaging boredom as a premium experience.
