I saw this post and wanted to ask the opposite. What are some items that really aren’t worth paying the expensive version for? Preferably more extreme or unexpected examples.

    But real Advil has the candy coating on the outside, and I haven’t found a generic that does =(

    Otherwise 100% identical yes.

      A few years ago, I wondered why that was and googled it. I came to an Advil site with an expandable FAQ, and one of the questions was “why does Advil taste sweet?”

      So I expanded it out to reveal this shocking answer (or something similar): “Advil tastes sweet because it is lightly coated in sugar.”

      Thanks, I guess. I just closed the tab in mild irritation and moved on with my day.
