Today I was walking through a fair where as you would expect they had a lot of things to sell. Some items were designed to look like real food and boy are they hard to tell from first glance that it isn\u2019t the real thing. There were a variety of products like this such as candles that are meant to be burnt for the aroma. That got me thinking how the item looks so well made I wouldn\u2019t doubt there are many people who wouldn\u2019t want to actually burn it as intended.<\/p>\n
People often joke about that in restaurants with real food such as dessert items that look artistically stunning where they don\u2019t want to break it. I have actually seen this happen with expensive items too like a piece of electronic gear where people don\u2019t really want to use it since it looks so well-made which kind of defeats the purpose of buying it in the first place huh? That\u2019s actually why some people buy less atheistically pleasing tools so that they won\u2019t feel guilty getting it scraped and worn out.<\/p>\n
I actually wonder if that type of marketing has ever been done where companies spend as less as possible on design intentionally so that people won\u2019t ever have that conflict. Although it is a little silly of course. Clothing item is the same thing where if it is \u201cugly\u201d you will probably wear it in al scenarios where you actually need it and just buy a new one when it wears out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
