@@sugasweet435 she also has many flavoring things, but ive never seen her pour like water bottles into a container, although shes the first woman shown with the plastic container that has flavor packets and straws. she has all that so she can have variety and experience other foods tastes when she cant eat them she has come out and said shes glad people are able to make the post surgery diet more enjoyable
I’m so happy I don’t have TikTok. This is ridiculous. Our planet is suffering and all this overconsumption is not helping! I truly feel sorry for the future generations.
I refuse to get TikTok at this point for the same exact reason. It’s just constant shilling and showing off massive collections of plastic only for views. Those people are only making that ice for views. I guarantee they aren’t actually using it. Just a waste.
What's sad is that people from developed countries actively participate in messing up the environment but it's the less advanced countries that end up facing the brunt of the consequences
And then its up to OUR poor asses to invest millions in green energy lmfao. And when we point it out to those rich countries (who started destroying the enviroment int the first place) they're just "Oh we can totally help you financially to invest in sustainable energy, all you need to do is give us unrestricted access to all of your natural resources and be our political allies under all circumstances, or else you're gonna be sanctioned. No biggie right?" Meanwhile they're incentivating mass production and consumerism because it gives them moneh and they dont actually give a f. Green colonialism at its finest.
My mom is a Starbucks mug collecter. It isn’t the one in the video, it’s much more sentimental as she collects the mug from each state and country for different countries she’s been to in her life, so her cups she’s been collecting mean a lot to her as they have sentimental value and memories, unlike these colorless and unappealing “cups”.
We have a Starbucks mug collection too. It’s a useful item, it’s a souvenir, and storing them isn’t a hardship. Between the 4 adults living in the house we could use them all in a week.
Yeah me and my mom collect these fridge magnets from every place we go to, it’s normal to have a collection like that, what’s not normal is the people in this video😅
To be honest, the thing that the youtuber said about "It's not made for collecting, it's made to be reusable" was just crazy. Like as people collecting anything they like, and those things usually not made with the intent of being collecor items.

Oh god, the pink lady isn't just overconsuming, she's combining different types of pink that Do Not belong together. Also, Red onions? Red grapes? Strawberries??? Watermelon? Multiple types of dragonfruit??? Apples?????? THERE'S LITERALLY AN APPLE CALLED "PINK LADY". I'm gonna lose my marbles.
Omg same! I am also a pink fan and most items I own are pink, but I don’t go out to buy pink containers just for each piece of food. I don’t even own pink containers just the generic ones cause I got a bunch of them through other people or sometimes I reuse the containers I get from restaraunt that delivered soup to me or something.
The thing that bothers me with the skincare under the bed as well is MOST OF IT IS STILL IN THE PACKAGE. I KNOW damn well that all of that skincare must have cost hundreds of thousand while my family is struggling to rent a house. This is just greed at this point.
And you just know those things are made by hand in a crappy shed somewhere in India, because there is no way there is any real commercial demand for this.
I agree on almost all of your points. However, as someone who moved from Colorado where we had wonderful, clear, crisp water from the tap, to Arizona where mud water comes out, I can tell you that drinking from the tap in lots of parts of the US is not always possible. I remember moving from Ohio to California as a kid and being so confused about bottled water. I had never seen anything like it. Yet when I tasted the tap in California, I immediately understood lol
Agree I I used to drink well water because I lived in the country and when I gone to my friends house I drank city water and it was horrible it taste like chemicals glad I don’t live in Wisconsin anymore
i remember when i went to college in maryland, no one drank the tap water cause it had a gross taste. Everyone had a brita filter or something similar.
This is literally me when me and my family moved from South Carolina to Missouri- For the first time we have to buy bottled water because the tap in Missouri tastes weird, while in South Carolina the tap was so clean I even knew people who would just drink the tap without filtering it. But now here in Missouri we have to buy bottled water every week because we can’t drink from the tap out of fear.
Pov: You are a thief who breaks into somebody's house, ties them up, goes into their bedroom, lifts up their mattress hoping to find money, or jewelry, or precious family heirlooms, or whatever people keep under their mattresses....and finds a few hundred containers of skincare instead.

Hear her out on the mini trash can. My mini trash can has googly eyes, and it is my mental support buddy. Me and my mini trash can can get through anything together.
Ngl the sunglasses holder is useful for me because I often leave mine at home and then I’m driving and it becomes sunny out. But my car has a built in one that I just keep a spare pair in 🤷🏻♀️
the purse hanger looks like an absolute godsend for someone who grew up with a mother who had a massive purse. the number of times i got whacked by it as she grabbed it out of the backseat is high, and the number of times i had to contort my body to fish it out of there for her is higher
Genuinely a trash can of some kind in a car is a must have for me, while I'm working I take breaks in my car and snack on the way to different job sites. If I don't have a trash can my floor becomes the trash can. But you don't need fancy compartment shit for that, literally a plastic bag on the back of the passenger seat is enough
@@SilvrRazorFeather yeah that's what I was thinking, I use whatever plastic bag I have left from shopping groceries, though mainly bc a mini trash can cannot contain all of my trash lol
Almost all of those beauty products are going to expire before they can even be used. That is so disgustingly wasteful, that person should be shamed daily.
Exactly like i can't believe the day came when i believe i little shaming is needed for grown up adults like let's just shame them from promoting this behavior idc what they do privately since they clearly don't care 😂
I can explain the aversion to tap water here in the US. Some water, especially in rural communities isn't very good and often comes with a boil first warning due to possibility of parasites. Which is why a lot of people in these communities resort to bottled water either by the pack or gallon (s)
Im from Peru and mostly of our water has to be boiled before consumption because of the chemicals(most of it is cl) used to desinfect it and also sometimes it's not fully desinfected. Most people prefer buy bottles or gallons of water for consumption and for ice. And i believe most of countries in America also boil their water because of the contamination of water
Or they are on well water and their well is not the best. I cannot wash anything white in my house because the water will turn it rust colored eventually.
Even in India we are not supposed to drink from tap water but almost everyone here has water purifiers and people who don't have water purifiers drink boiled water. We don't use bottled water at home, we only buy bottled water if we are travelling or outside and forgot to carry our own water bottles.
i agree that tiktok has helped glorify overconsumption, but as an adhd girly i have to admit that those clear plastic organizers help me sooo much in keeping bathrooms/ kitchen organized and stocked with the daily items i need. but i dont fill them with 24 of the same product like the tiktokers
Yeah, I have autism and ADHD so not only do I need things organized to function, but I also love organizing things and keeping them the same way for long periods of time cuz y'know, 'tis the tism. Anyway all the shade thrown on organizers is going overkill if you ask me, cuz it's an organizer. You don't buy a new one every day like they make it out to be, it's MEANT to be used for very long periods of time. It felt kind of strange seeing her talk about the packets being organized as if it was a problem, because does she expect them to let their place get messy and disorganized? Also at least the watertok people actually use the products, the worst part is when they use plastic bottles. But the stanley cup and Starbucks cup collectors are... Very destructive
as someone who’s had issues with depression and anxiety throughout life, a lot of the stuff that is promoted that helps with mental health and organization has really helped out. it’s all about positive intention and finding the good stuff when it comes to finding stuff like this on social media
I have adhd + depression I literally have my makeup sprawled out all over my desk even though I have one of the organizer thingys 😭 idk it’s just easier to find for me
If you have to store skincare products on multiple shelfs and under your bed, you have a hoarding problem (and probably a crippling shopping addiction with a side of FOMO).
@@Nikki_the_G Yeah but being realistic no one has the money to buy all that. It was probably PR stuff they got sent. BUT they should give it away instead of hoarding it all and letting it go to waste.
@@vittoria-u4p Some people do have that money or, if they have an addiction, put themselves in debt because of it. Either way, I agree, the waste is shameful.
Best case scenario, 80-95% of those skincare products are actually empty product bottles and/or packaging boxes given to them by others. While not a shopping addiction, it is a hoarding problem
Exactly. Skincare hoarders only want skincare because it’s trending, not because they actually need it for their skin. If they need to put their skincare on display, they don’t really need the skincare. One day, all of these skincare girlies are gonna stop obsessing over their trendy skincare because something else started to trend. It’s so bizarre to me when i see 10 YEAR OLDS wear skincare that they dont even need. This skincare craze needs to stop. It’s so dumb…
Eww. I can just imagine that person going out to buy skincare and then as soon as they get home they'll say. " Ok, good. I got what I "needed", my other storage room is full so I'll just chuck it under my bed with the rest of my 10,000 products." And then 6 months later there are bugs constantly waking them from their sleep because of the fact that the skincare expired and might be growing mold. 🤢
It’s genuinely partly because their parents don’t care about them or teach them how to treat money or priorities in life. It’s also partly undiagnosed mental health issues being preyed upon like the impulsive buying of ADHD and collecting tendencies of autism. I swear to god, it’s terrifying
@@table2.0 I have autism and I don’t think that’s it. It’s a stereotype. I think people being on social media all day thinking it substitutes actual social interaction is a big party of the conversation we as a society need to be having. ♥️ I know we as humans can do better!
the fact that majority of the skincare products under the bed were still in their unopened boxes is astonishing. you not only have that amount of unnecessary product but you also haven't used it??? why did you purchase it???
I'm just surprised that they don't find themselves lacking funds for another thing they like, and go "you know, maybe it's OK if only 10% of my under-bed space is filled with skin-care. @@lug358
As someone with binge eating disorder I actually cracked up a bit. It's kind of like calling a noose the "depression rope". Not that It makes it okay, binge eating is a hellish thing to have to deal with. I just think it was ridiculous.
honestly it’s becoming a super big problem because i see my little sister (and people my age) starting to be affected by this. everyone seems to have mountains and mountains of clothes and skincare that they basically never use. you aren’t supposed to have 30 tshirts babes! you wash and rewear!!!!
My moms client is like rich rich, and her daughter is around my age so sometimes her daughter gives me clothes. MULTIPLE TRASH BAGS OF CLOTHES??? Some even have tags on them and its just crazy to me
I've recently made a rule for myself to use something t'ill it is truely used up. Like for example when I have a book I have to finish it before I can buy a new one. Like I realized I was addicted to shopping and I have a small room, so I have a limited space.
The problem with clothes though is that in many cases, unless you buy high quality stuff that is usually more expensive, most clothing items are made poorly or with not great materials so that you can't use it for too long before you must buy a new one.
I can understand some of the aesthetics. Like, I have depression and struggle to take care of myself. Showering, brushing my teeth, I used to just not do it because I didn't feel like I deserved to be clean or healthy. If I had tried getting pretty containers for my shampoo and conditioner, it actually does make me feel a little more comfortable and shower more regularly. However, I also absolutely believe that these people have overconsumption problems and should probably seek help if they're relying too much on these things to keep themselves healthy and happy.
Yes but that one woman's shower, with the many racks and bottles and tubs of products, would actually make me less likely to want to shower. Just looking at that much stuff, even neatly organized, gives me anxiety. Like I wouldn't be comfortable with all that stuff in an area that gets wet every day- you would constantly have to wipe everything down because mildew will grow on things in your shower that just get wet and sit there. Plus, I have this crazy aversion to hair- I spend 10 minutes brushing my hair before showering because when it comes out and gets stuck my my hand or on the wall or something, I get completely grossed out and sometimes even get sick. It's weird, I know but the mildew thing is absolutely happening in between those stacked tubs and jars and around the bottle lids on the products that don't get used often. Which is most of them since you wouldn't even use each product once a week if you showered every day and used 3 different products each time.
21:00 My parents once bought something like this so that we would have to leave all our devices in one place and not lose them. It caught fire, in the kitchen. Fire alarm didn't go off. We caught it in time before it had fully combusted and threw it in the garden and it just burnt. Can confirm, giant fire hazard.
I love how she called herself a deinfluencer because like- that should be her friggin TITLE!!!! She is honestly just a breath of fresh air for me, bringing us back to the the days of "if you don't NEED it: don't get it". We need more deinfluencers like her to bring us back to reality. Because aesthetic ain't everything
Same! And i see a few hate comments saying its annoying how she yells. If you don't like her then go to some other commentary channel? I honestly like her yelling because she talks like me. Passionately. Hayley slays
@@I_loveanime62like she’s just giving them a reality check😭 if you don’t like a random australian lady ranting on your screen for 15 minutes then leave
I’m not hating on her, but some people just like flavored water. It’s there money it ain’t harming anyone, some people can’t drink plain water normally
I grew up with extremely frugal parents who were older then most of my friends parents, so when the other kids were getting cool things mine would just say “it’s unnecessary”. As an adult I have a shopping addiction, however, as I accumulated stuff I realized it wasn’t buying me the happiness i thought it would. I’m now looking for ways to get rid of alot of it. It’s very stressful and I have to fight that urge to buy more, but just the simple fact that so much of modern day manufacturing is making complete garbage but putting higher price tags on it makes it so much easier to bypass more and more
I have the same situation with parents but absolutely different consequences🤥 Mine would always say that I won't wear/use that stuff ALWAYS EVERY SINGLE TIME, so now I simply can't buy anything except necessities without thoughts that I won't use it. Frugal parents are evil, well at least I can't contribute to overcomsumption anymore)))
@@anansypineapple8370 i somehow have both, becose i won't use my monye unless im absolutly sure i use eat the thing. But when im bying smt let's say video games i can't really stop myself
I like how people gaslight themselves into thinking all the crappy syrup, powder, and artificial flavoring is still considered “water”. According to another comment, I saw that they mentioned that the “trend” was started by someone who wanted to create a drink that could make post-bariatric surgery a bit easier to deal with.
It’s so wild that we went from thrifting being so trendy that people who NEEDED these stores to survive couldnt get what they needed and now its consume consume consume. The basket ideas or so stupid. I was confused when the boo baskets came out around Halloween time, now we have baskets for everything? The Valentine’s Day ones could just be yknow gifts? But if you need a guide one what to get your partner ooof
Gift baskets are out of control. They were originally a thoughtful useful gift. I've given baby "baskets" of a nappy bag, baby bath or changing box filled with things like a thermometer, bib, breast pads, nail clippers, nappy cream, baby bath & shampoo, socks, scratch mits, nappies, teething powders etc. Useful, practical stuff with a wee book or onesie for the cute factor. What I see on tiktok is a reach. It's usually aesthetic but filled with cheap crap from temu or SHEIN. I'm not using products made in a sweat shop in China on my face. Some of their items have been found containing lead.
Okay, but not calling hoarding what it is? That's insane Like, I'm a hoarder, I know this. But that's just cause I have things from years ago that I don't want to get rid of, not because I'm constantly buying more of the same thing and calling it "collecting" 😭
@@R3alCarnes I think that is collecting You aren't buying 30 of the same cup to use, you're buying nutcrackers from different states that all have different designs and personalities. It's like when people collect magnets, or in my case, I collect hats. I'm actually going to use all of them. These people buy something with one purpose and then just leave them in their cupboards to sit pretty and prove how much money they have instead of using them for their intended purpose
@@bassyxgrelle8659I also started collecting crystals recently. They’re useless, I know. But they’re pretty as decorations and each different type of crystal has a different purpose and meanings. Thats why I collect them. They’re pretty and they have meanings. They’re also pretty cheap. I usually go to a shop nearby that sells them for like 3 dollars each
Reminds me of the we bare bears episode when they had to buy a tote bag at a grocery store and were judged for not already having one (caring for the environment) and were praised and accepted for finally buying one. They proceeded to buy so much more and ended up with thousands in and out of the home essentially destorying the environment. Reuseable cups,bags, container etc are going to end up in landfills because of these people. You're only supposed to buy a few maybe one for each day of the week (minus containers) because they are reusable, not hundreds.
As a collector, there is absolutely a difference between collecting and hoarding. Hoarding is when you actively have an issue with overconsumption and don't have room for your obsession of choice and are in an unsanitary environment. Collecting is surrounding yourself with things you love in a fiscally and environmentally resposible way in a sanitary environment. I stopped collecting makeup bc I lost the love for it due to the sheer amount I had. Edit: While I don't agree with the comment below completely, it is important bc it corrects some misinformation I had. Hoarding is a mental illness and that is part of what separates it from collecting. I also edited my comment above for clarity.
Completely wrong. Hoarding is a kind of mental problem where you can't stop even if you want to. That's why hoarders always need therapy. So the differnet between collecting and hoarding is not the whatever the hell did you just wrote in your comment, but the mental ability of being able to stop whenever you want to stop. You simply just wrote the difference between a casual hobby collector and a serious high-end collector if we talk about amounts.
@@tovarishchfeixiao Yeah, no, stop spreading misinformation. The definition of hoarder according to merriam webster noun hoard·er ˈhȯr-dər plural hoarders Synonyms of hoarder : a person or animal that hoards We love shopping, and logically so: we're planners and hoarders, and by stocking up on available goods now, we can weather lean times tomorrow. -Natalie Angier. specifically : a person with hoarding disorder She is someone who buys too much and doesn't throw anything away, even as the stuff piles up and impedes normal life-the textbook definition of a hoarder. -Steven Kurutz Most hoarders … know that their behavior is socially unacceptable and as a result actively conceal it from others. -Sandra G. Boodman Yes there are hoarding disorders, but not all hoarders have it. These people are hoarders, they stock up on shit they don't even need.
@@tovarishchfeixiao oh yeah, also, like Haylo stated at 15:38, these hoarders are running out of space in their desks, drawers, etc, that they have to put skincare UNDER THEIR BED. This is NOT just simple "high-end collecting", this is a REAL hoarding problem. They're not even displaying it like a regular collector, high end or not would, they've got so much they're just shoving it into random drawers and playing tetris with it.
@@tovarishchfeixiao The inability to stop is indeed true, but a key part of hoarding is an unsanitary environment, and not enough room for your obsession of choice. You literally cannot walk around the piles of your own things bc they take up too much room. I myself have hoarding tendencies and have to be cautious to not slide into that thinking or, as you have noted, I won't be able to stop. I should have added that when describing the difference between collecting and hoarding. However, I stand by hoarding also in part being an issue with overconsumption in an unsanitary environment with no room to move.
Me too. Though I keep getting annoying ads or people ask me a lot if I seen some tiktok video/trend. There's a little isolation that comes with it, but I'd rather have that than losing my brain cells.
Man, I have two Starbucks reuasble cups, one big one small. I use whichever one fits my needs for more or less coffee. I see lots of cute cups and I think "I'd like to have that" but I already have two so I'm set and that's that. I couldn't imagine feeling so pressed to have every cup starbucks comes out with. That's a new level of stress to keep up with😭
that’s how i am, i don’t drink out of open cups so i only use lid and straw reusable cups for my water and coffee. i don’t have the most storage ever in my kitchen so i limit myself to 1 shelf of cups. if the shelf is full and i want more cups, i have to give some away first 😂
I have one Starbuck's cup for my daily coffee that I got when I lived in California (I moved back to Missouri in 2014) that I have been using for OVER 10 years. I have used it so much that pretty much all of the color has come off of it now and you can only tell what color it used to be in a couple of small places where the color still is. Every time I consider getting a new one because mine is a bit rough looking now I don't do it because mine still keeps my coffee warm for 3 hours. It still works so why do I need a new one?
22:22 not to mention, most cars have BUILT IN SUNGLASS OR GLASSES HOLDERS like its like right under the mirror or somewhere near it you dont need to buy a glasses holder when theres probably already one there!
the shower one also made me go crazy but in one of those videos i saw a comment about how someone is struggling with getting themselves to take showers and videos like that make them excited. and i'm glad these videos have at least some merit to them but a thousand bucks is not okay to spend as a real person, they're not even an influencer!
Yeah as a neuro divergent. Person showering is an event or I won't want to do it. Also they are influencers as most content like that is to Sell you something. Just one of the products shown The more products shown in one video the more of investment they are making. An they can claim all the money spent as work related expenditure. So it's not even actually costing them money to set their shower or cabinet etc up like that. It's an investment in the videos momentary gain and any money made from Sales through links in bio etc
For me when I wash my curly hair I turn Friends or another TV show on and listen to it since it takes me 30-40 minutes since i have a lot of hair and it gets tangled lol
@@coeurgourmandI can understand why curlies have more hair products in general. I know the struggles well. Your favorite/most used product in the spring won’t work in the summer. Your summer products won’t work in the fall. Your fall products won’t work in the winter. Your winter products won’t work in the spring. You need a clarifying shampoo, a moisturizing shampoo and a shampoo with protein. Same with various types of deep conditioners. Curly hair needs something different every week. You have to feel it, look at it and go from there - especially when you live in an area that has seasons and high humidity or and/dry weather conditions. When you finally figure out the gist of ingredients that work best for your hair it’s easier to narrow it down to some extent. Then your hair starts turning gray, the texture and curl pattern changes to some extent and you’ve got to work that out. It’s never ending but if you’ve ended up with hair products in all the cabinets and under the beds there is a problem.
@@coeurgourmandI don’t think most people realize that many curlies have to check the weather forecast before wash day and plan accordingly for the week.
People went from hoarding makeup, and showing off their makeup collections in their beauty rooms, to now hoarding over priced (over hyped) skincare products & Stanley cups lol This just goes to show how easily influenced people are to jump on trends. When this trend finally dies down, you’re gonna find a lot of these collections in the thrift stores, discount stores, & trash cans. Edit: February 24, 2024 Based on the title of your recent video from 1 day ago, I’d say my comment aged rather well. 😎
It's not that simple. If you start a hobby like crafting, cooking or make up, you dive in, explore a new world and you want to try as much as possible. After a while the saturation kicks in and you are overwhelmed and fed up with your collection because you have much more than you need or use. Maybe you declutter, use it or cut back ob buying new stuff but very often the consumption shifts to something else like clothes, shoes, jewelry, tea.. I guess it's part of being human that they hunt and collect, you decide what and how much.

I hate trends. I've learnt a lot of trends. The stuff is more poor quality and made by folk who don't get paid well. I try to shop smarter or better when i can.
Honestly that automatic scrubber at the end seems like a good idea for disabled people! I've seen a large handful of things people go "UGH no one needs that! How lazy are some people?!" but it's for disabled people. Problem is, when you market items FOR disabled people, they don't sell well because they're not for everyone, and end up being very expensive. The Snuggie? Invented for people in wheelchairs. Marketed to the general population. And it worked! I once saw a fork that had a twirly handle so all you have to do to spin spaghetti on the fork was hold it at the top and slide down and the fork would spin into the spaghetti. Was made for disabled people, but saw comments like "How lazy are you that you can't twirl your own spaghetti?" Also, I do have to say, some of the littler cheaper looking organization tools just seem like good ideas and are practical. Racks in the shower (like, a normal amount of 1-2), car seat hanger hook, car organizer thing... It's especially good for people like me who have a tendency to clutter things. Having little bins/baskets/whatnot for smaller items has saved me from having them splayed all over. On my PC desk I would have all these little items like chapstick, nail clippers, hair ties, converters, pills, gum, stim toys, glasses cloths... etc. Now I have a small basket for bigger items and a tiny basket for tiny items and my desk is free from scattered clutter!
I just like things to look a bit more organized in general. Like with the shower dispensers for body wash and hair products. Not only dose it look "aesthetic". It also keep them all in one place, and It keeps the bottles from falling in the tub.
Your anecdote about the Snuggie is not true. You shouldn't get your education from 15-sec uncited tiktoks just because it sounds like something you want to believe.
@@SnakeKillsDumbledorf hey, there is no need to just come and attack me because you clearly have issues with things! i found out about the snuggie information long before tiktok was even a thing! i had learned about it on tumblr SEVEN YEARS AGO. it was a popular idea and was only disproved well after the wheelchair idea was widespread, and the real origin is not widely talked about, so why are you getting up on my ass? old man yells at clouds moment. i don't even USE tiktok, i just watch compilations on youtube like once a week. get over yourself. don't act like there's not a ton of legitimate creators on tiktok who are experts in their fields talking about their passions, like the birdwatchers, the rock finders, the hobbyists.
@@SnakeKillsDumbledorf she’s not inherently wrong. The Slanket was made for wheelchair users and the Snuggie was a rip off of the Slanket for general population. Snuggie is also commonly used as a term for the item and not the actual brand name/etc. Yes the item “snuggie” was made for wheelchair users. The brand Snuggie was not and stole its idea FROM an accessibility item
For the fridge restock, did you see they didn’t even empty the bottles. So you are either wasting food, or you STILL have to store the containers somewhere.
The "icetok" videos are nothing more than ads. The creators are selling everything you can see, from the molds to the drinks to the little spoons. They're not actually consuming any of it. They are simply trying to get you to buy the products through their link so they'll earn a commission. It's like _The Truman Show_ , only more terrifying.
Becoming minimalistic and barely buying anything (including clothes and items I don't need) has been really freeing. Moving out into a one bedroom apartment really made me see how limited my space is, honestly it's a blessing. I don't buy anything online, I bought maybe 2 articles of clothes last year (one for jeans because my prior one finally ripped after almost a decade of use), and honestly I wish more people just shopped similarly. Kids have more stuff than I do at this point! Why are parents allowing this!? AND WHY are they letting their literal children on Tik Tok to begin with 😐
Whom cares how many things the kids have. Just let them be kids as long as your wallet comfortably allows it. Kids never did need restriction for "you only can own X amount of things in total".
@@tovarishchfeixiaoI think you're missing the point here. It's not good to teach kids that they can have whatever they want and whenever they want. Unlimited access to stuff can risk kids to shopping/hoarding later on in their lives. It's important to teach them that happiness doesn't come from materialism and that overconsumption is gonna ruin their mental wellbeing.
Yeah a lot of it is stupid but it is their money and their life. If they make enough money they can do whatever they want with it. It makes them happy so who cares honestly. It may be money waste to you but it may not be for them. And I hate all this weird TIK TOK stuff but it’s not my life to control and get mad over.
@@cottoncandyjellybean8539 I totally agree with you. And I feel like most of these people are living way beyond their means and on credit so they only have themselves to thank when they see zero in their bank account and no where to live.
@@Porataa No one said we care or that it’s affecting us. Of course anyone can do what they want with their money. They earned it and worked their ass off for it. Just because I think it’s ridiculous and no one needs 1000 bottles of skincare doesn’t mean that it’s affecting me or they can’t buy/get it. It is a waste though because no one would be able to use all those cups or skincare. You know you’re watching a video where Hayley is talking about the ridiculousness of it and how it’s excessive. 🤷🏻♀️
Right! I mean I do buy quite a lot, but I’m very choosy with what I buy. If I buy something, I always think “do I see myself using this and how often?”
And some of these over consumption videos on tiktok are just 'commercials' selling the products all with links to said objects. Many people seem to not realize this as well.
fr... all affiliate links from amazon and t3mu!!!! these ppl dont organize their ice every day they're just shoving products in your face... which makes it even worse!!!!
Another problem with the skincare overconsumption is, that consistency is key. It doesn´t make sense to have so much stuff (besides the VERY obvious reasons) because it doesn´t benefit your skin in ANY way 😭
I used to work in the kitchen of a private school… when we made flavoured water, we’d cut up fruit and add that to the water. It’s tasty and far healthier than the syrups and flavours. Also the school had a filtration system for the taps, so any tap water was already filtered, and many staff members (myself included) would bring our own water bottles or cups and we’d refill through the day.
I'm so curious what other things were served at a private school. Like what kind of lunches or snacks? I think your comment shows the difference between people overconsuming a bunch of trash to look wealthy vs what actual wealthy people do.
@@SnakeKillsDumbledorf the particular school I worked at served healthy lunches (salad table, deli table, hot foods always included protein and veg with a side or two, there were soups too, plus accommodations for kids with dietary restrictions). They had a panini press too if the kids wanted sandwiches. The kids still got desserts and snacks and juice, and pizza was served on weekends usually or sometimes as Friday dinner (the school had boarders). The kids loved juice and snacks but were pretty good about eating healthy stuff too. Breakfast was usually eggs, meat, pancakes/waffles etc. there was a cereal table, milk, muffins, yogurt and fruit. Staff could eat there too, so working there meant I got to eat healthy food (as much as I wanted).
@@raesour2806 that sounds like a plum job. Not just free food but actually high quality meals, you could easily pay $30 for a lunch like that at a restaurant. I'm always fascinated watching the dining hall scenes of tv shows and movies set in private schools and seeing the great food they get. The tables were self-serve, yeah? And what was the ratio of fruit to water for the flavored water? Strawberries are in season and I'd like to try. Frozen blueberries should work well for it too I think.
@@SnakeKillsDumbledorf yes the tables were self serve, but we servers would refill as necessary and we were behind the serving counter for the main hot foods. It wasn’t a bad job… stressful at times, but the shifts flew because of how busy we were. As to the fruit/water ratio… it depends on how big of a jug you use. Frozen fruits work great, just keep in mind that the Color of the water can sometimes change with things like berries (still perfectly good to drink though). We switched out the flavours so we’d do things like lemon, orange, limes (sometimes lemon lime together), apple cinnamon (using cinnamon sticks), cucumber or cucumber mint etc. we got creative with it. Whichever ones the kids seemed to like best, we’d make more often.
Water tok is like those commercials targeting 'clumsy' people but in reality the products are meant for the temporarily and chronically disabled. The water flavours are great for those who had undergone bariatric surgery, but it's gone into the realm of noone says the B word but it's cool that water tastes nice 👍
I used to struggle drinking enough water. I started with setting a timer and drink a glass of water every time the alarm went off. But I didn’t like the taste of plain water. So, what did I do? I used mint leaves, lemons, limes etc to bring some flavor into my water. And guess where I get my water from? The tap! Germany has a good water quality, so I don’t even bother buying water from the store unless I want to „spice it up“ and want to drink sparkling water. (My sodastream disappeared a few weeks ago, after my sister came to visit.)
A lot of these people wouldn't be doing all this if they weren't making money from it. They get sponsors / cuts. The real scary part of 'overconsumption' is all the people they are influencing to buy more stuff they don't need. Also, I don't think the influencers are actually buying the products. I'm guessing the companies send it to them to make a video.
Restock channels are insane: I watched a woman with these _ridiculously_ long French-polished nails take deli meat out of its' package- not even to separate it for the freezer- it just went in the fridge; she just moved it from its' commercial packaging, to put it in some ✨aesthetic✨ container - but only gave her fingers a delicate rinse after doing so, & I was like, _ugh_ I felt the need to wash *my own hands* after that... The manual Dishmatic scrubber, holds dish liquid, but *doesn't* require electricity or batteries to use.
When you talked about WATERTOK I had like Vietnam flashbacks, held a cross and like prayed for life because Water tok almost made me insane because they're saying, "Oh It'S sTiLl WaTeR!" NO IT'S NOT! YOU PUT TEN THOUSAND PACKETS OF COLORED POWDER AND NINE THOUSAND PUMPS OF THIS LIQUID! THEY MADE A NEW POISON JUST BY DOING THAT!
@@amethyst1062no, over consumption is getting an excessive amount of stuff that you don’t use for its original purpose, or just hoard it. You’re fine if you get one. It’s not over consumption to get only one of the covers.
Over consumption itself has become an aesthetic because it gets views when it’s organized and displayed. Organization itself is pleasing to the eye. Satisfying to see done and watch be done. So we have ads masquerading as lavish lifestyle “restock” videos that perpetuate the idea that not only is it okay to live that way, but it’s something we should aspire to. No one actually lives that way though. They’re making that content specifically to get paid by all of the products they feature. It’s their job. A job with a heavy amount of moral implications and room for moral injury but, a job nonetheless.
Plus, when they retire from doing this shit, they'll be able to sell all of these products. (not the ones with expiration dates of course, the reusable ones that were not even used yet)

when it comes to tap water, at least in my state (I live in the US), we are actually advised to NOT drink it bc it’s dangerous and has certain chemicals that can make you really sick 😅
Mine smells/tastes like sulfur. ☹Oh yeah did I mention that they sent a note to everybody in the area that said if you had a weak immune system or are either elderly or very young (babies) to NOT drink the tap?
I'm a late Gen Z'er who uses TikTok for three and a half years. Out of everything I had witnessed or experienced (despite the longer duration of screentime), I'm glad to admit that I never manipulated myself, or fall into buying trendy products, which do not even have a purpose or/and that is unnecessarily a waste of money.
Same, I had to get my screen time under control at first cause it was ROUGH lmao, but the most I’ve done was recently download a game I saw advertised that’s actually pretty fun and beautiful to look at. My fyp consists of humor, art, and people calling out this madness
Deadass. Though, I'm 22 and downloaded tiktok when I was 17, so I wasn't young enough to get as easily influenced. But, never have I bought something off the shop or took anything I saw face value until I did my own research. It's so wild how many young people within my generation is so easily influenced into being the worst people to exist.
@Kerastalise Yes cause the only point of tiktok is to be a consumer.🙄 Most people should just be there to watch videos. Lol. Shop on places where it won't get advertised to children who don't need it (retinol creams for example).
@@r1gbysj0k3rrch2 Tbf, if none of the kids actually does research on why retinol will damage the skin when there isn’t an issue, it would be kinda funny that they destroyed what they were trying to “fix”.
I will say as someone with prescription glasses/sunglasses its not that easy for me just... slip them on. so having a spot my regular glasses stay and don't break is helpful.
@@devilfightersame. My Honda Odyssey has a space for glasses/sunglasses. And actually has ALOT of storage features, cup holders etc. I don't need to clutter my car w any more unnecessary JUNK than needed.
I quit shopping years ago. I buy groceries and if I need clothes I go to the thrift shops and yard sales. It has been so freeing. I use what I have, wear it out, make it do or do without. If you constantly look at what you don't have, then you will never have enough. I think of what our grandmothers had and used. I have one travel mug and that is enough. I don't even use it most of the time.
What is different between a Starbucks cup collector and figurines collector? It is both plastic, both make the person happy. It is just that one is acceptable by society as a good thing to collect and the other isn’t. Go give the same energy to people who collect figurines, Lego sets and other stuff.
@@gab1888 only problem with that buddy, is that toys and figurines and such become more valuable with time. Like the first transformers toys are worth a lot of money if you have them in box. The fact you mentioned Lego is hysterical, because old Lego sets unopened can be worth a few thousand dollars today. Not sure the same can be said about a Starbucks cup… Also just because I didn’t mention figurines doesn’t mean I don’t also think that it’s stupid and wasteful. But good job going to “what about ism,” as a weak attempt to tear down my comment. That’s exactly why we are in the mess we are in, because of people like you who say “what about this and what about that?” As if that changes the issue at all, or excuses it. Learn proper debate tactics, rather than resorting to “what about isms” to make a point, otherwise run the risk of sounding like an ass when you make your assumptions based on shallow information, and ignorance.
Theres nothing wrong with having specific containers for decanting stuff into, i have a lot of those too. The difference is that i buy everything in bulk and the 20kg bag of flour/rice/pasta etc doesnt fit nicely in my kitchen cupboard and neither does the 5L drum of shampoo etc fit in my bathroom. I only buy ONE package of each thing every few months and i fill the small containers from the big ones when they need filled. Ive had the same small storage containers for over 10 years. I use way less packaging than if i just bought normal sized packages from the grocery store every week.
As a collector, I feel like the Starbucks cup and Stanley cup girls give us a bad reputation I will admit my purchase history is not the most impressive in the terms of saving money when I am spending over $100 on model horses that are gonna sit on a shelf for the rest of their life but I don't store them in cardboard boxes they get aligned nicely on shelves organized in whatever order I decide I like for that time this system of storage is not because I want them to look nice it's because I don't want them to get scratched by storing them in boxes because as soon as they get scratched up a little a $300 horse becomes a $75 horse
idk anything about model horses but at least you can say for collector type objects (im thinking mostly vinyls, fragrances or old posters/ephemera) you're buying ART and supporting it. I wish I had the space for stuff like that and keeping it alive. That's actual living history vs this mass produced slop. On the extreme end you got the single male apartment meme (how i live bc i get claustrophobia easy from a childhood with a hoarder parent).
It's different! I don't know how or why but it is!.... Beautiful models, dolls, vinyls are wonderful collection items! Reusable Starbucks cups and Stanley's?.... Noooooo! Just no.
THANK YOU FOR TALKING ABOUT OVERVCONSUMPTION. This has been heavy on my mind. I've been there buying stuff that I don't need, but I look back why would I do that? I never wore those clothes or used that makeup. I donated all of my clothes that I don't wear anymore, but I've became smarter financially while realizing I had an issue with overconsumption and what it can do the environment. I love skincare more than makeup lately and I can't imagine having a room dedicated to that many products that I won't use. I have my set skin care routine, which is cruelty free and sustainable, but I'll have 2 backup face washes because I go thru them quickly and then one backup of the rest since I can't buy this brand in store. I don't see the need to have that much stuff that I don't need. I bought two stanley like cups that are custom made for beetlejuice and ghostface but I'm not going to be buying other cups anytime soon. I have a brita filter on my sink and it tastes just as good as bottled if not better. I live in a small town so my water is hard and taste like metal 😅
I feel like I need to make a point here. A lot of these items we” don’t need” fall under the category of assistive technology. The pan scrubber may seem pointless to normal people but for those with a disability they can be lifesavers. For example…I recently suffered extreme arm/ hand weakness in my dominant arm where I couldn’t even lift a bag of groceries. I could not scrub my dishes as I had zero arm strength and would have totally bought that scrubber if I knew about it . The same with the self mixing cup…for those with essential tremors and Parkinson’s disease who end up with a giant mess and a tipped over cup when trying to stir …that again would be a game changer for them. Any assistive technology actually helps those with a disability live more independent lives. I would even go further to say that those who use them when they don’t need them are actually doing the disability sector a service. They are normalising the use of assistive technology in society so it doesn’t seem weird. Imagine someone with Parkinson’s in a cafe using their special mixing cup and them feeling embarrassed when everyone is looking at them and staring and wondering what the weird contraption is. Now imagine this same person and how they feel when they look over at the next table and see a bunch of normal 20 year olds also all using the cup just because it’s trendy. Suddenly the person with a disability feels more normalised and part of society. Think of the normalisation of fidget toys as another example. So no …people may not NEED these things but if they want to use them you shouldn’t make a song and dance about it. Viewers are impressionable and the last thing you want is someone to watch a video like this and then see a person with an invisible disability using one of the devices and they start making fun of them for being lame and using something they “ don’t need”.
While some places do require water bottled because the water is that bad, if your having a hydration station, thats when you buy a purifier for your tap water. Or better yet, buy a fridge that dispenses water and ice. My family has both and they are a much better solution then bottled water if your going to have water every day.
true, I use tap water but before I moved out the water was very bad at my old house so I always had bottles water. Got a reusable bottle water and fill it whenever I want, I have one ice tray and that's all lol
I remember once there was like an arsenic leak in the water supply or something(I was a child so I don’t know the details, all I remember is we couldn’t drink the water) and my family had to get water elsewhere. We got those big blue water drum thingies and once a month we’d go up to the store and fill it. We’d then put it upside down in a contraption(like a water cooler but on the countertop) to fill our cups. It’d last our family of 6 for the month and we’d reuse the bottle. I think we actually had two. But yeah it’s possible to be sustainable while buying water.
Years ago (early 90’s) my grandparents lived in a area where the primary source of water was well water in the suburbs and they had to buy several water coolers through their home and bought cases of gallon water so tap water at grandmas wasn’t an option.
I'm a little late to this debate but do you know how utterly privileged someone has to be to buy an entire FRIDGE just because they want clean water when they could just buy a 40 pack of bottled water for a couple bucks? Not everyone has that kinda money, although that doesn't go for these watertok folks💀
I work at Starbucks and each launch (Halloween, Holiday, Spring, summer) we have people who come in as soon as we open just to buy the new cups. Sometimes If we don’t have a certain cup they’re looking for, they will start yelling at us as if we had the ability to conjure one up. It’s just a cup….what is happening to this world
I don't want a hydration station but I do want a coffee/tea station. Not an obnoxious one, just a place away from the central part of the kitchen. The corner cabinet I have my stuff in is a weird corner.
In defense of the self-stirring mug and the electric dish scrubber, they can be helpful for people with disabilities ;v; On days when my arthritis is really bad, just holding a spoon, let alone trying to stir something a lot to ensure its well mixed is... not easy. Most days I'm fine and I wouldnt need one of those mugs, but the winter months tend to be pretty rough.
true! this is why i wish some products designed for the disabled for elderly should be advertized by such. soooo many people disregard the products as "garbage" because influencers are the ones promoting them
Usually there's not enough people buying for disability need so in order to make money on the product they have to market it to others. So other people buying it means the product stays available for those who need it. It sucks but that's one of the only reasons for a lot of disability aids.
I can understand transferring to glass bottles. I do that sometimes. In my last place, we had a major mouse problem that was very hard to resolve, and in the meantime I transferred all of my food that was in plastic/cardboard to big and small glass jars to protect it. Also, my roommate was super strict about what could be on display, but he liked the look of my glass jars so I was allowed to have them in the uncovered shelving. With that being said, you are absolutely right in comparing these obsessions with hoarding. It is ridiculously wasteful, no one person needs this many products. It’s like they just want to have their own personal store of skincare/whatever products in their home
I use containers because of mice here in the country too. Frankly, I'd rather if I could keep a black snake under the house. I can tell when one found a home there as the mice disappear. Plus, snakes don't cost me money.
Some of the products I understand why they exist but I do realise most people who use them don't need them/don't use them correctly. For example, we eat a lot of granola cereal so I just got a resealable jar, and filled that up with 3 packs of our fav because the packaging is flimsy and rips easily making a mess all the time. The electric scrubber thingy is for people who don't have the grip strength/hand coordination that washing dishes takes. It was actually one of the products we discussed during class (I'm studying to become a product design engineer) that it's not used by the people who it (most likely) got designed for.
0:25 oooh my gosh these take me back. somebody my dad knew once went to another country and bought a bunch of snacks and put them in one of those baskets. I really miss some of the snacks in them like the borrel nootjes. good times
Not to defend the watertok girlies, but a lot of places in the US don't have clean tap water that you can just drink. Of course you can do other things that are less wasteful like buy a water filter depending on the situation but just wanted to mention that, as someone who lives near the infamous Flint, MI
This. My family actually bought a water cooler that we just get refilled at the gas station whenever it gets low, it's a house of 10 and we have 2 of the plastic jugs which we fill at once. Lasts us a good few weeks and not that much money long term, when I get my own house I'll probably get one there too (just with one jug cuz y'know, not a house of 10 anymore)
I suffer from some sort of hoarding disorder which had been passed down to me by my grandma... I've already had to give so much stuff either to charity or trash and i can't even fathom how someone makes buying more plastic their entire personality and "aesthetic"... That's just so foul and wasteful on so many different levels
Lmao I also have an icecube tray that’s snapped in half that I still use. I feel seen. I’m so happy to see people calling influencers out for gross overconsumption. We need more of this energy👏
So I will say this: people love collecting things. And collectors aren't thinking "oh, I NEED this item to live." They go "I like collecting these things and this just adds to it." Now, Stanley cup girlies that have four of the exact same cup... yeah that's insane. The Starbucks cup lady for me walks a bit of a fine line because on one end, yeah she wants the complete collection. But... oof that is a lot of cups that aren't organized. I've also come to find that unless you like collecting that thing, you don't understand. And you judge. I'm sure people would look at me like I'm deranged for spending $30+ on a kpop album but I enjoy it. Also, "making a skyrim healing potion" LMAO
I don’t own Stanley cups but yeah, that’s me. I like buying random DVDs that I set aside to watch later even if I don’t have the time to watch them, let alone like the genre they’re in. I’ve got 23 DVD cases just gathering dust in the corner right now…
Exactly what im saying! I collect pin backed buttons. I have hundreds of them. I will never wear them all nor do they serve a specific purpose other than making me happy. I think if someone wants to collect something, people on the outside wont understand.
Yes! I collect various things like dvds books and figures but I keep it neat and organized. Yeah it may be a waste of money for some but not for me. It makes me happy. It’s my money and if I have extra I can do what I want with it. I don’t get having like 4 of the same item at all that’s crazy and absolutely unnecessary.
That what I was thinking it’s not exactly the same but I’m collecting every version of all the books in my fave series and some people think I’m weird for that sinse I don’t read the hardcover versions
the blending cup isn't too bad depending on what you're blending, i have a mini blender here at home for mixing milk and chocolate because the chocolate never fully mixes when i'm using a spoon to mix it and i hate chunks in my drinks, but it was a cheap one too. I use it everyday so it's useful for me, you can even mix milk and ice cream if you're feeling a little mischevious
In fairness to watertok, it was popularized/ started by a woman who wanted to make the liquid diet required post bariatric surgery more bearable
I just know she’s looking at these videos like ‘what have I created?’😰
Why does the internet always changes what a person attempts to do to help people and make it into some trend where it creates more problems
calm down, weirdo no one cares
@@sugasweet435 she also has many flavoring things, but ive never seen her pour like water bottles into a container, although shes the first woman shown with the plastic container that has flavor packets and straws. she has all that so she can have variety and experience other foods tastes when she cant eat them

Same, im not allowed to use tiktok for a few months, and i realized tiktok makes my mental health bad 😭😭😭
I refuse to get TikTok at this point for the same exact reason. It’s just constant shilling and showing off massive collections of plastic only for views. Those people are only making that ice for views. I guarantee they aren’t actually using it. Just a waste.

Precisely 💯
And then its up to OUR poor asses to invest millions in green energy lmfao. And when we point it out to those rich countries (who started destroying the enviroment int the first place) they're just "Oh we can totally help you financially to invest in sustainable energy, all you need to do is give us unrestricted access to all of your natural resources and be our political allies under all circumstances, or else you're gonna be sanctioned. No biggie right?" Meanwhile they're incentivating mass production and consumerism because it gives them moneh and they dont actually give a f. Green colonialism at its finest.

We have a Starbucks mug collection too. It’s a useful item, it’s a souvenir, and storing them isn’t a hardship. Between the 4 adults living in the house we could use them all in a week.
Yeah me and my mom collect these fridge magnets from every place we go to, it’s normal to have a collection like that, what’s not normal is the people in this video😅
See that makes sense, she has sentimental value its not just a piece of plastic
To be honest, the thing that the youtuber said about "It's not made for collecting, it's made to be reusable" was just crazy. Like as people collecting anything they like, and those things usually not made with the intent of being collecor items.

I agree on almost all of your points. However, as someone who moved from Colorado where we had wonderful, clear, crisp water from the tap, to Arizona where mud water comes out, I can tell you that drinking from the tap in lots of parts of the US is not always possible. I remember moving from Ohio to California as a kid and being so confused about bottled water. I had never seen anything like it. Yet when I tasted the tap in California, I immediately understood lol
Agree I I used to drink well water because I lived in the country and when I gone to my friends house I drank city water and it was horrible it taste like chemicals glad I don’t live in Wisconsin anymore
i remember when i went to college in maryland, no one drank the tap water cause it had a gross taste. Everyone had a brita filter or something similar.
This is true, the tap water in the city I live in has failed the safe for consumption test for a while.
This is literally me when me and my family moved from South Carolina to Missouri- For the first time we have to buy bottled water because the tap in Missouri tastes weird, while in South Carolina the tap was so clean I even knew people who would just drink the tap without filtering it. But now here in Missouri we have to buy bottled water every week because we can’t drink from the tap out of fear.
I came here to say the same thing! My tap water is not good to drink. I think she should have acknowledged that before making such a general statement

Exactly like i can't believe the day came when i believe i little shaming is needed for grown up adults like let's just shame them from promoting this behavior idc what they do privately since they clearly don't care 😂
Indeed. They don’t need all the skincare. They WANT it because it’s “trendy” and “cool”.
Since people have access to literally anything nowadays they make and use these unnecessary items
Agreed, its so wasteful and unnecessary
@@yayitskekeI bet they really dont even want it tbh
The fact most of these can be easy fixes and requires less effort to do.
I can explain the aversion to tap water here in the US. Some water, especially in rural communities isn't very good and often comes with a boil first warning due to possibility of parasites. Which is why a lot of people in these communities resort to bottled water either by the pack or gallon (s)
That's kinda horrifying lol
Im from Peru and mostly of our water has to be boiled before consumption because of the chemicals(most of it is cl) used to desinfect it and also sometimes it's not fully desinfected. Most people prefer buy bottles or gallons of water for consumption and for ice.
And i believe most of countries in America also boil their water because of the contamination of water
Or they are on well water and their well is not the best. I cannot wash anything white in my house because the water will turn it rust colored eventually.
my home town, in massachusetts, is unable to use tap water. For anything. Not even boiling makes it safe.
Even in India we are not supposed to drink from tap water but almost everyone here has water purifiers and people who don't have water purifiers drink boiled water. We don't use bottled water at home, we only buy bottled water if we are travelling or outside and forgot to carry our own water bottles.
i agree that tiktok has helped glorify overconsumption, but as an adhd girly i have to admit that those clear plastic organizers help me sooo much in keeping bathrooms/ kitchen organized and stocked with the daily items i need. but i dont fill them with 24 of the same product like the tiktokers
Yeah, I have autism and ADHD so not only do I need things organized to function, but I also love organizing things and keeping them the same way for long periods of time cuz y'know, 'tis the tism. Anyway all the shade thrown on organizers is going overkill if you ask me, cuz it's an organizer. You don't buy a new one every day like they make it out to be, it's MEANT to be used for very long periods of time. It felt kind of strange seeing her talk about the packets being organized as if it was a problem, because does she expect them to let their place get messy and disorganized? Also at least the watertok people actually use the products, the worst part is when they use plastic bottles. But the stanley cup and Starbucks cup collectors are... Very destructive
as someone who’s had issues with depression and anxiety throughout life, a lot of the stuff that is promoted that helps with mental health and organization has really helped out. it’s all about positive intention and finding the good stuff when it comes to finding stuff like this on social media
I have something similar to keep my skincare so it doesn't roll around loose in the bathroom cabinet and go missing under things.
I have adhd + depression I literally have my makeup sprawled out all over my desk even though I have one of the organizer thingys 😭 idk it’s just easier to find for me
@@bellaboolovesu You're valid. I tend to pile too many things on top if I'm left to my own devices.
If you have to store skincare products on multiple shelfs and under your bed, you have a hoarding problem (and probably a crippling shopping addiction with a side of FOMO).
Yeah those skincare hoarders have a serious addiction. It's about buying it, not using it, for them.
@@Nikki_the_G Yeah but being realistic no one has the money to buy all that. It was probably PR stuff they got sent. BUT they should give it away instead of hoarding it all and letting it go to waste.
@@vittoria-u4p Some people do have that money or, if they have an addiction, put themselves in debt because of it. Either way, I agree, the waste is shameful.
Best case scenario, 80-95% of those skincare products are actually empty product bottles and/or packaging boxes given to them by others. While not a shopping addiction, it is a hoarding problem
Exactly. Skincare hoarders only want skincare because it’s trending, not because they actually need it for their skin. If they need to put their skincare on display, they don’t really need the skincare. One day, all of these skincare girlies are gonna stop obsessing over their trendy skincare because something else started to trend. It’s so bizarre to me when i see 10 YEAR OLDS wear skincare that they dont even need. This skincare craze needs to stop. It’s so dumb…
Eww. I can just imagine that person going out to buy skincare and then as soon as they get home they'll say. " Ok, good. I got what I "needed", my other storage room is full so I'll just chuck it under my bed with the rest of my 10,000 products." And then 6 months later there are bugs constantly waking them from their sleep because of the fact that the skincare expired and might be growing mold. 🤢
that's fucking disgusting
It’s all a distraction from the lack of human connection and love. Fill the void with endless stuff…
💯💯
It’s genuinely partly because their parents don’t care about them or teach them how to treat money or priorities in life. It’s also partly undiagnosed mental health issues being preyed upon like the impulsive buying of ADHD and collecting tendencies of autism.
I swear to god, it’s terrifying
@@table2.0"collecting tendencies of autism" that's an autism thing too?? Fuckkk

That was so disrespectful- like? no?
As someone with binge eating disorder I actually cracked up a bit. It's kind of like calling a noose the "depression rope". Not that It makes it okay, binge eating is a hellish thing to have to deal with. I just think it was ridiculous.
My camps "Hydration Station" was literally your table yelling "HYDRATION STATION!" and then gulping/chugging the water.
honestly it’s becoming a super big problem because i see my little sister (and people my age) starting to be affected by this. everyone seems to have mountains and mountains of clothes and skincare that they basically never use. you aren’t supposed to have 30 tshirts babes! you wash and rewear!!!!
I agree sometimes I feel like the only 11 year old not influenced from the trends
My moms client is like rich rich, and her daughter is around my age so sometimes her daughter gives me clothes. MULTIPLE TRASH BAGS OF CLOTHES??? Some even have tags on them and its just crazy to me
@@Urlocalkandikidmm same
I've recently made a rule for myself to use something t'ill it is truely used up. Like for example when I have a book I have to finish it before I can buy a new one. Like I realized I was addicted to shopping and I have a small room, so I have a limited space.
The problem with clothes though is that in many cases, unless you buy high quality stuff that is usually more expensive, most clothing items are made poorly or with not great materials so that you can't use it for too long before you must buy a new one.
I can understand some of the aesthetics. Like, I have depression and struggle to take care of myself. Showering, brushing my teeth, I used to just not do it because I didn't feel like I deserved to be clean or healthy. If I had tried getting pretty containers for my shampoo and conditioner, it actually does make me feel a little more comfortable and shower more regularly.
However, I also absolutely believe that these people have overconsumption problems and should probably seek help if they're relying too much on these things to keep themselves healthy and happy.
Yes but that one woman's shower, with the many racks and bottles and tubs of products, would actually make me less likely to want to shower. Just looking at that much stuff, even neatly organized, gives me anxiety. Like I wouldn't be comfortable with all that stuff in an area that gets wet every day- you would constantly have to wipe everything down because mildew will grow on things in your shower that just get wet and sit there. Plus, I have this crazy aversion to hair- I spend 10 minutes brushing my hair before showering because when it comes out and gets stuck my my hand or on the wall or something, I get completely grossed out and sometimes even get sick. It's weird, I know but the mildew thing is absolutely happening in between those stacked tubs and jars and around the bottle lids on the products that don't get used often. Which is most of them since you wouldn't even use each product once a week if you showered every day and used 3 different products each time.
@@mommy2libras Right? Sometimes even applying conditioner is a hassle. I wouldn't even step foot into the bathroom if mine looked like a shop.
@@mommy2libras Imagine the noise when even one bottle falls over. I'd be scared to step in there and ruin the setup
@@mommy2librasreal😭 seeing too many items gives me anxiety so baddddd
21:00 My parents once bought something like this so that we would have to leave all our devices in one place and not lose them. It caught fire, in the kitchen. Fire alarm didn't go off. We caught it in time before it had fully combusted and threw it in the garden and it just burnt.

I grew up with extremely frugal parents who were older then most of my friends parents, so when the other kids were getting cool things mine would just say “it’s unnecessary”. As an adult I have a shopping addiction, however, as I accumulated stuff I realized it wasn’t buying me the happiness i thought it would. I’m now looking for ways to get rid of alot of it. It’s very stressful and I have to fight that urge to buy more, but just the simple fact that so much of modern day manufacturing is making complete garbage but putting higher price tags on it makes it so much easier to bypass more and more
you can donate to a charity?
I have the same situation with parents but absolutely different consequences🤥 Mine would always say that I won't wear/use that stuff ALWAYS EVERY SINGLE TIME, so now I simply can't buy anything except necessities without thoughts that I won't use it. Frugal parents are evil, well at least I can't contribute to overcomsumption anymore)))

According to another comment, I saw that they mentioned that the “trend” was started by someone who wanted to create a drink that could make post-bariatric surgery a bit easier to deal with.
It’s so wild that we went from thrifting being so trendy that people who NEEDED these stores to survive couldnt get what they needed and now its consume consume consume.
The basket ideas or so stupid. I was confused when the boo baskets came out around Halloween time, now we have baskets for everything? The Valentine’s Day ones could just be yknow gifts? But if you need a guide one what to get your partner ooof
I thought it was so crazy when ‘brrr’ baskets came out like you already give people presents for chirstmas ???
Blame consumerism culture trying to increasingly promote the idea of more money = more love
ikr, we used to go to the thrift stores because the clothes were expensive but now if you walk into a thrift store the shirts are like 30$
Gift baskets are out of control. They were originally a thoughtful useful gift. I've given baby "baskets" of a nappy bag, baby bath or changing box filled with things like a thermometer, bib, breast pads, nail clippers, nappy cream, baby bath & shampoo, socks, scratch mits, nappies, teething powders etc. Useful, practical stuff with a wee book or onesie for the cute factor.
What I see on tiktok is a reach. It's usually aesthetic but filled with cheap crap from temu or SHEIN. I'm not using products made in a sweat shop in China on my face. Some of their items have been found containing lead.

Okay, but not calling hoarding what it is? That's insane
Like, I'm a hoarder, I know this. But that's just cause I have things from years ago that I don't want to get rid of, not because I'm constantly buying more of the same thing and calling it "collecting" 😭
Having a few sentimental items isn't hoarding. It becomes hoarding when it impairs your ability to function in everyday life
😭😭😭😭😭
@@R3alCarnes I think that is collecting
You aren't buying 30 of the same cup to use, you're buying nutcrackers from different states that all have different designs and personalities. It's like when people collect magnets, or in my case, I collect hats. I'm actually going to use all of them. These people buy something with one purpose and then just leave them in their cupboards to sit pretty and prove how much money they have instead of using them for their intended purpose
@@bassyxgrelle8659I also started collecting crystals recently. They’re useless, I know. But they’re pretty as decorations and each different type of crystal has a different purpose and meanings. Thats why I collect them. They’re pretty and they have meanings. They’re also pretty cheap. I usually go to a shop nearby that sells them for like 3 dollars each
Hoarders put things on the floor and see a plastic wrpper as a memory...
Reminds me of the we bare bears episode when they had to buy a tote bag at a grocery store and were judged for not already having one (caring for the environment) and were praised and accepted for finally buying one. They proceeded to buy so much more and ended up with thousands in and out of the home essentially destorying the environment. Reuseable cups,bags, container etc are going to end up in landfills because of these people. You're only supposed to buy a few maybe one for each day of the week (minus containers) because they are reusable, not hundreds.
I think the same thing every time I see the tote bags placed in the “impulse purchase” section of the grocery store
@@bravobby8773_tote life_
As someone who just never got into TikTok hearing about stuff like this is always both intriguing and concerning 😭
As a collector, there is absolutely a difference between collecting and hoarding. Hoarding is when you actively have an issue with overconsumption and don't have room for your obsession of choice and are in an unsanitary environment. Collecting is surrounding yourself with things you love in a fiscally and environmentally resposible way in a sanitary environment. I stopped collecting makeup bc I lost the love for it due to the sheer amount I had.
Edit: While I don't agree with the comment below completely, it is important bc it corrects some misinformation I had. Hoarding is a mental illness and that is part of what separates it from collecting. I also edited my comment above for clarity.
Completely wrong. Hoarding is a kind of mental problem where you can't stop even if you want to. That's why hoarders always need therapy.
So the differnet between collecting and hoarding is not the whatever the hell did you just wrote in your comment, but the mental ability of being able to stop whenever you want to stop.
You simply just wrote the difference between a casual hobby collector and a serious high-end collector if we talk about amounts.
@@tovarishchfeixiao Yeah, no, stop spreading misinformation.
The definition of hoarder according to merriam webster
noun
hoard·er ˈhȯr-dər
plural hoarders
Synonyms of hoarder
: a person or animal that hoards
We love shopping, and logically so: we're planners and hoarders, and by stocking up on available goods now, we can weather lean times tomorrow.
-Natalie Angier.
specifically : a person with hoarding disorder
She is someone who buys too much and doesn't throw anything away, even as the stuff piles up and impedes normal life-the textbook definition of a hoarder.
-Steven Kurutz
Most hoarders … know that their behavior is socially unacceptable and as a result actively conceal it from others.
-Sandra G. Boodman
Yes there are hoarding disorders, but not all hoarders have it. These people are hoarders, they stock up on shit they don't even need.
@@tovarishchfeixiao oh yeah, also, like Haylo stated at 15:38, these hoarders are running out of space in their desks, drawers, etc, that they have to put skincare UNDER THEIR BED. This is NOT just simple "high-end collecting", this is a REAL hoarding problem. They're not even displaying it like a regular collector, high end or not would, they've got so much they're just shoving it into random drawers and playing tetris with it.
@@tovarishchfeixiao Yep
@@tovarishchfeixiao The inability to stop is indeed true, but a key part of hoarding is an unsanitary environment, and not enough room for your obsession of choice. You literally cannot walk around the piles of your own things bc they take up too much room. I myself have hoarding tendencies and have to be cautious to not slide into that thinking or, as you have noted, I won't be able to stop. I should have added that when describing the difference between collecting and hoarding. However, I stand by hoarding also in part being an issue with overconsumption in an unsanitary environment with no room to move.
As a 20 year old female without tiktok i feel like i dodged a huge ass bullet
No you dogged a nuke
Will never regret my decision to not download TikTok - not even for work.
It's only good for making goofy videos 😂
fr. @@summer8941
Me too. Though I keep getting annoying ads or people ask me a lot if I seen some tiktok video/trend. There's a little isolation that comes with it, but I'd rather have that than losing my brain cells.
Man, I have two Starbucks reuasble cups, one big one small. I use whichever one fits my needs for more or less coffee. I see lots of cute cups and I think "I'd like to have that" but I already have two so I'm set and that's that. I couldn't imagine feeling so pressed to have every cup starbucks comes out with. That's a new level of stress to keep up with😭
that’s how i am, i don’t drink out of open cups so i only use lid and straw reusable cups for my water and coffee. i don’t have the most storage ever in my kitchen so i limit myself to 1 shelf of cups. if the shelf is full and i want more cups, i have to give some away first 😂
Yeah seriously. You can appreciate something cute or pretty and not have to own it.
I have one Starbuck's cup for my daily coffee that I got when I lived in California (I moved back to Missouri in 2014) that I have been using for OVER 10 years. I have used it so much that pretty much all of the color has come off of it now and you can only tell what color it used to be in a couple of small places where the color still is. Every time I consider getting a new one because mine is a bit rough looking now I don't do it because mine still keeps my coffee warm for 3 hours. It still works so why do I need a new one?
I don’t have hundreds of Starbucks cups but I do have six them and I use all of them but if I find one that I super like I will get it
“I need my fridge to be aesthetic “ NO ONE IS EVER IN THERE!!!!😂😂😂😂😂
22:22 not to mention, most cars have BUILT IN SUNGLASS OR GLASSES HOLDERS like its like right under the mirror or somewhere near it you dont need to buy a glasses holder when theres probably already one there!
the shower one also made me go crazy but in one of those videos i saw a comment about how someone is struggling with getting themselves to take showers and videos like that make them excited. and i'm glad these videos have at least some merit to them but a thousand bucks is not okay to spend as a real person, they're not even an influencer!
Yeah as a neuro divergent. Person showering is an event or I won't want to do it.
Also they are influencers as most content like that is to Sell you something. Just one of the products shown
The more products shown in one video the more of investment they are making. An they can claim all the money spent as work related expenditure.
So it's not even actually costing them money to set their shower or cabinet etc up like that. It's an investment in the videos momentary gain and any money made from Sales through links in bio etc
For me when I wash my curly hair I turn Friends or another TV show on and listen to it since it takes me 30-40 minutes since i have a lot of hair and it gets tangled lol
@@coeurgourmandI can understand why curlies have more hair products in general. I know the struggles well. Your favorite/most used product in the spring won’t work in the summer. Your summer products won’t work in the fall. Your fall products won’t work in the winter. Your winter products won’t work in the spring.
You need a clarifying shampoo, a moisturizing shampoo and a shampoo with protein.
Same with various types of deep conditioners.
Curly hair needs something different every week. You have to feel it, look at it and go from there - especially when you live in an area that has seasons and high humidity or and/dry weather conditions.
When you finally figure out the gist of ingredients that work best for your hair it’s easier to narrow it down to some extent. Then your hair starts turning gray, the texture and curl pattern changes to some extent and you’ve got to work that out.
It’s never ending but if you’ve ended up with hair products in all the cabinets and under the beds there is a problem.
@@coeurgourmandI don’t think most people realize that many curlies have to check the weather forecast before wash day and plan accordingly for the week.
People went from hoarding makeup, and showing off their makeup collections in their beauty rooms, to now hoarding over priced (over hyped) skincare products & Stanley cups lol
This just goes to show how easily influenced people are to jump on trends. When this trend finally dies down, you’re gonna find a lot of these collections in the thrift stores, discount stores, & trash cans.
Edit: February 24, 2024
Based on the title of your recent video from 1 day ago, I’d say my comment aged rather well. 😎
It's not that simple. If you start a hobby like crafting, cooking or make up, you dive in, explore a new world and you want to try as much as possible. After a while the saturation kicks in and you are overwhelmed and fed up with your collection because you have much more than you need or use. Maybe you declutter, use it or cut back ob buying new stuff but very often the consumption shifts to something else like clothes, shoes, jewelry, tea.. I guess it's part of being human that they hunt and collect, you decide what and how much.

i dont use skincare but genuinely who needs that much!? especially for ONE person 😭
Honestly that automatic scrubber at the end seems like a good idea for disabled people! I've seen a large handful of things people go "UGH no one needs that! How lazy are some people?!" but it's for disabled people. Problem is, when you market items FOR disabled people, they don't sell well because they're not for everyone, and end up being very expensive.
The Snuggie? Invented for people in wheelchairs. Marketed to the general population. And it worked!
I once saw a fork that had a twirly handle so all you have to do to spin spaghetti on the fork was hold it at the top and slide down and the fork would spin into the spaghetti. Was made for disabled people, but saw comments like "How lazy are you that you can't twirl your own spaghetti?"
Also, I do have to say, some of the littler cheaper looking organization tools just seem like good ideas and are practical. Racks in the shower (like, a normal amount of 1-2), car seat hanger hook, car organizer thing... It's especially good for people like me who have a tendency to clutter things. Having little bins/baskets/whatnot for smaller items has saved me from having them splayed all over. On my PC desk I would have all these little items like chapstick, nail clippers, hair ties, converters, pills, gum, stim toys, glasses cloths... etc. Now I have a small basket for bigger items and a tiny basket for tiny items and my desk is free from scattered clutter!
I just like things to look a bit more organized in general. Like with the shower dispensers for body wash and hair products. Not only dose it look "aesthetic". It also keep them all in one place, and It keeps the bottles from falling in the tub.
moderate consuming is the key

@@SnakeKillsDumbledorf she’s not inherently wrong. The Slanket was made for wheelchair users and the Snuggie was a rip off of the Slanket for general population. Snuggie is also commonly used as a term for the item and not the actual brand name/etc.
Yes the item “snuggie” was made for wheelchair users. The brand Snuggie was not and stole its idea FROM an accessibility item
For the fridge restock, did you see they didn’t even empty the bottles. So you are either wasting food, or you STILL have to store the containers somewhere.
the toilet paper in the binge basket is for the mass amounts of diarrhea in the aftermath of eating all that candy
Sort of sad that people are normalizing this sort of behavior
The "icetok" videos are nothing more than ads. The creators are selling everything you can see, from the molds to the drinks to the little spoons. They're not actually consuming any of it. They are simply trying to get you to buy the products through their link so they'll earn a commission. It's like _The Truman Show_ , only more terrifying.
Becoming minimalistic and barely buying anything (including clothes and items I don't need) has been really freeing. Moving out into a one bedroom apartment really made me see how limited my space is, honestly it's a blessing. I don't buy anything online, I bought maybe 2 articles of clothes last year (one for jeans because my prior one finally ripped after almost a decade of use), and honestly I wish more people just shopped similarly. Kids have more stuff than I do at this point! Why are parents allowing this!? AND WHY are they letting their literal children on Tik Tok to begin with 😐
i still wear clothes from YEARS ago and they're still good! idc if it's not trendy, if it works I will use it
Whom cares how many things the kids have. Just let them be kids as long as your wallet comfortably allows it. Kids never did need restriction for "you only can own X amount of things in total".
@@tovarishchfeixiaoI think you're missing the point here. It's not good to teach kids that they can have whatever they want and whenever they want. Unlimited access to stuff can risk kids to shopping/hoarding later on in their lives. It's important to teach them that happiness doesn't come from materialism and that overconsumption is gonna ruin their mental wellbeing.
It’s just ridiculous honestly the amount of things these people buy. It’s so much waste and they’ll never use it all.
Yeah a lot of it is stupid but it is their money and their life. If they make enough money they can do whatever they want with it. It makes them happy so who cares honestly. It may be money waste to you but it may not be for them. And I hate all this weird TIK TOK stuff but it’s not my life to control and get mad over.

Right! I mean I do buy quite a lot, but I’m very choosy with what I buy. If I buy something, I always think “do I see myself using this and how often?”
And some of these over consumption videos on tiktok are just 'commercials' selling the products all with links to said objects. Many people seem to not realize this as well.
fr... all affiliate links from amazon and t3mu!!!! these ppl dont organize their ice every day they're just shoving products in your face... which makes it even worse!!!!

Another problem with the skincare overconsumption is, that consistency is key. It doesn´t make sense to have so much stuff (besides the VERY obvious reasons) because it doesn´t benefit your skin in ANY way 😭

There was a lady on hoarders who was super clean. She had about 2000 plastic containers just full of stuff, all organized but still too much.

10:06 wow amazing tour I love fridge tours 🍞👍
I used to work in the kitchen of a private school… when we made flavoured water, we’d cut up fruit and add that to the water. It’s tasty and far healthier than the syrups and flavours. Also the school had a filtration system for the taps, so any tap water was already filtered, and many staff members (myself included) would bring our own water bottles or cups and we’d refill through the day.
I'm so curious what other things were served at a private school. Like what kind of lunches or snacks? I think your comment shows the difference between people overconsuming a bunch of trash to look wealthy vs what actual wealthy people do.
@@SnakeKillsDumbledorf the particular school I worked at served healthy lunches (salad table, deli table, hot foods always included protein and veg with a side or two, there were soups too, plus accommodations for kids with dietary restrictions). They had a panini press too if the kids wanted sandwiches. The kids still got desserts and snacks and juice, and pizza was served on weekends usually or sometimes as Friday dinner (the school had boarders). The kids loved juice and snacks but were pretty good about eating healthy stuff too. Breakfast was usually eggs, meat, pancakes/waffles etc. there was a cereal table, milk, muffins, yogurt and fruit. Staff could eat there too, so working there meant I got to eat healthy food (as much as I wanted).
@@raesour2806 that sounds like a plum job. Not just free food but actually high quality meals, you could easily pay $30 for a lunch like that at a restaurant. I'm always fascinated watching the dining hall scenes of tv shows and movies set in private schools and seeing the great food they get. The tables were self-serve, yeah? And what was the ratio of fruit to water for the flavored water? Strawberries are in season and I'd like to try. Frozen blueberries should work well for it too I think.
@@SnakeKillsDumbledorf yes the tables were self serve, but we servers would refill as necessary and we were behind the serving counter for the main hot foods. It wasn’t a bad job… stressful at times, but the shifts flew because of how busy we were. As to the fruit/water ratio… it depends on how big of a jug you use. Frozen fruits work great, just keep in mind that the Color of the water can sometimes change with things like berries (still perfectly good to drink though). We switched out the flavours so we’d do things like lemon, orange, limes (sometimes lemon lime together), apple cinnamon (using cinnamon sticks), cucumber or cucumber mint etc. we got creative with it. Whichever ones the kids seemed to like best, we’d make more often.
Water tok is like those commercials targeting 'clumsy' people but in reality the products are meant for the temporarily and chronically disabled. The water flavours are great for those who had undergone bariatric surgery, but it's gone into the realm of noone says the B word but it's cool that water tastes nice 👍
I agree with that
I used to struggle drinking enough water. I started with setting a timer and drink a glass of water every time the alarm went off. But I didn’t like the taste of plain water. So, what did I do? I used mint leaves, lemons, limes etc to bring some flavor into my water. And guess where I get my water from? The tap! Germany has a good water quality, so I don’t even bother buying water from the store unless I want to „spice it up“ and want to drink sparkling water. (My sodastream disappeared a few weeks ago, after my sister came to visit.)
A lot of these people wouldn't be doing all this if they weren't making money from it. They get sponsors / cuts. The real scary part of 'overconsumption' is all the people they are influencing to buy more stuff they don't need. Also, I don't think the influencers are actually buying the products. I'm guessing the companies send it to them to make a video.
I completely agree, but sometimes the water out of the tap is not clean in some countries.
Restock channels are insane: I watched a woman with these _ridiculously_ long French-polished nails take deli meat out of its' package- not even to separate it for the freezer- it just went in the fridge; she just moved it from its' commercial packaging, to put it in some ✨aesthetic✨ container - but only gave her fingers a delicate rinse after doing so, & I was like, _ugh_ I felt the need to wash *my own hands* after that...
The manual Dishmatic scrubber, holds dish liquid, but *doesn't* require electricity or batteries to use.
When you talked about WATERTOK I had like Vietnam flashbacks, held a cross and like prayed for life because Water tok almost made me insane because they're saying, "Oh It'S sTiLl WaTeR!" NO IT'S NOT! YOU PUT TEN THOUSAND PACKETS OF COLORED POWDER AND NINE THOUSAND PUMPS OF THIS LIQUID! THEY MADE A NEW POISON JUST BY DOING THAT!
at least call it drink tok or something like what??
Diabetes in a cup. Zero sugars doesn't mean 0 calories, or additives.
watertok is ðe new alchemy
change my mind
“babe what concoction you be makin with yo water again”
“a new poison. you want to try?”
“what? no!”
why does heart attack in a cup seem interesting to me?
Those fruit and vegetable covers would make the fruit rot faster because they are going to sweat in there.
That is what I was thinking
Would it be overconsumption if I got one pink container for each fruit/veg group and used it for on the go
@@amethyst1062no, over consumption is getting an excessive amount of stuff that you don’t use for its original purpose, or just hoard it. You’re fine if you get one. It’s not over consumption to get only one of the covers.
The moisture is trapped leading to an increase of mold or bacteria
Wait...what? Onion protectors!?
The lemon protectors look like pink hand grenades 😂
Over consumption itself has become an aesthetic because it gets views when it’s organized and displayed. Organization itself is pleasing to the eye. Satisfying to see done and watch be done. So we have ads masquerading as lavish lifestyle “restock” videos that perpetuate the idea that not only is it okay to live that way, but it’s something we should aspire to. No one actually lives that way though. They’re making that content specifically to get paid by all of the products they feature. It’s their job. A job with a heavy amount of moral implications and room for moral injury but, a job nonetheless.
Plus, when they retire from doing this shit, they'll be able to sell all of these products. (not the ones with expiration dates of course, the reusable ones that were not even used yet)
It’s a moneymaker! They sell everything and it’s all on Amazon.

when it comes to tap water, at least in my state (I live in the US), we are actually advised to NOT drink it bc it’s dangerous and has certain chemicals that can make you really sick 😅
or, theyll have a boil first mark on it
Mine smells/tastes like sulfur. ☹Oh yeah did I mention that they sent a note to everybody in the area that said if you had a weak immune system or are either elderly or very young (babies) to NOT drink the tap?
IM ALSO IN THE US AND I LITERALY CHUG THE TAP WATER HELP-
@@Bones-go-crunchy-munchy my tap water tastes like off brand water, like it doesn’t have a sulfur or chlorine taste, but it’s not normal either…
@@themostrandomestuser LMAO, maybe it’s safe where you live? My state advises us not to, but ik it’s different for everyone 😭
I'm a late Gen Z'er who uses TikTok for three and a half years. Out of everything I had witnessed or experienced (despite the longer duration of screentime), I'm glad to admit that I never manipulated myself, or fall into buying trendy products, which do not even have a purpose or/and that is unnecessarily a waste of money.
Same, I had to get my screen time under control at first cause it was ROUGH lmao, but the most I’ve done was recently download a game I saw advertised that’s actually pretty fun and beautiful to look at. My fyp consists of humor, art, and people calling out this madness
Deadass. Though, I'm 22 and downloaded tiktok when I was 17, so I wasn't young enough to get as easily influenced. But, never have I bought something off the shop or took anything I saw face value until I did my own research. It's so wild how many young people within my generation is so easily influenced into being the worst people to exist.
At that point, just delete the app. lol
@Kerastalise Yes cause the only point of tiktok is to be a consumer.🙄 Most people should just be there to watch videos. Lol. Shop on places where it won't get advertised to children who don't need it (retinol creams for example).
@@r1gbysj0k3rrch2 Tbf, if none of the kids actually does research on why retinol will damage the skin when there isn’t an issue, it would be kinda funny that they destroyed what they were trying to “fix”.
If I were at her house, I would’ve thrown them fruits and screamed:
*”GO, COALOSSAL!!”*
I will say as someone with prescription glasses/sunglasses its not that easy for me just... slip them on. so having a spot my regular glasses stay and don't break is helpful.
Same, girl. Thankfully my Rav4 comes with a built in spot to hold glasses, so, no additional car accessory is needed.
@@devilfightersame. My Honda Odyssey has a space for glasses/sunglasses. And actually has ALOT of storage features, cup holders etc. I don't need to clutter my car w any more unnecessary JUNK than needed.
Ohhhh... I see. Well, good to know :)
The basket makes sense actually if it’s a thing that YOU PREPARE by yourself for someone you lovee
FRR and the basket video was just inspiration for people 😭
Yeah they’re literally gift idea inspirations not I do this multiple times a month show off
bruh i work at a starbucks and when those red stanleys came out people LITERALLY FOUGHT IN THE STORE
my god is there that much brainrot over a few cups that people have to fight over it?
I quit shopping years ago. I buy groceries and if I need clothes I go to the thrift shops and yard sales. It has been so freeing. I use what I have, wear it out, make it do or do without. If you constantly look at what you don't have, then you will never have enough. I think of what our grandmothers had and used. I have one travel mug and that is enough. I don't even use it most of the time.
The Starbucks “collector” probably never uses any of those cups, probably has a grody cup she uses so she doesn’t damage the precious collection
Grody cup 😭
@@graceharper3731 😆🤣
What is different between a Starbucks cup collector and figurines collector? It is both plastic, both make the person happy. It is just that one is acceptable by society as a good thing to collect and the other isn’t. Go give the same energy to people who collect figurines, Lego sets and other stuff.
@@gab1888 only problem with that buddy, is that toys and figurines and such become more valuable with time. Like the first transformers toys are worth a lot of money if you have them in box. The fact you mentioned Lego is hysterical, because old Lego sets unopened can be worth a few thousand dollars today. Not sure the same can be said about a Starbucks cup…
Also just because I didn’t mention figurines doesn’t mean I don’t also think that it’s stupid and wasteful. But good job going to “what about ism,” as a weak attempt to tear down my comment. That’s exactly why we are in the mess we are in, because of people like you who say “what about this and what about that?” As if that changes the issue at all, or excuses it. Learn proper debate tactics, rather than resorting to “what about isms” to make a point, otherwise run the risk of sounding like an ass when you make your assumptions based on shallow information, and ignorance.
I’m so happy grody is still alive
Theres nothing wrong with having specific containers for decanting stuff into, i have a lot of those too. The difference is that i buy everything in bulk and the 20kg bag of flour/rice/pasta etc doesnt fit nicely in my kitchen cupboard and neither does the 5L drum of shampoo etc fit in my bathroom. I only buy ONE package of each thing every few months and i fill the small containers from the big ones when they need filled. Ive had the same small storage containers for over 10 years. I use way less packaging than if i just bought normal sized packages from the grocery store every week.
As a collector, I feel like the Starbucks cup and Stanley cup girls give us a bad reputation I will admit my purchase history is not the most impressive in the terms of saving money when I am spending over $100 on model horses that are gonna sit on a shelf for the rest of their life but I don't store them in cardboard boxes they get aligned nicely on shelves organized in whatever order I decide I like for that time this system of storage is not because I want them to look nice it's because I don't want them to get scratched by storing them in boxes because as soon as they get scratched up a little a $300 horse becomes a $75 horse
idk anything about model horses but at least you can say for collector type objects (im thinking mostly vinyls, fragrances or old posters/ephemera) you're buying ART and supporting it. I wish I had the space for stuff like that and keeping it alive. That's actual living history vs this mass produced slop. On the extreme end you got the single male apartment meme (how i live bc i get claustrophobia easy from a childhood with a hoarder parent).
It's different!
I don't know how or why but it is!....
Beautiful models, dolls, vinyls are wonderful collection items!
Reusable Starbucks cups and Stanley's?....
Noooooo!
Just no.
I love watching you because you knock sense into me
THANK YOU FOR TALKING ABOUT OVERVCONSUMPTION. This has been heavy on my mind. I've been there buying stuff that I don't need, but I look back why would I do that? I never wore those clothes or used that makeup. I donated all of my clothes that I don't wear anymore, but I've became smarter financially while realizing I had an issue with overconsumption and what it can do the environment. I love skincare more than makeup lately and I can't imagine having a room dedicated to that many products that I won't use. I have my set skin care routine, which is cruelty free and sustainable, but I'll have 2 backup face washes because I go thru them quickly and then one backup of the rest since I can't buy this brand in store. I don't see the need to have that much stuff that I don't need. I bought two stanley like cups that are custom made for beetlejuice and ghostface but I'm not going to be buying other cups anytime soon. I have a brita filter on my sink and it tastes just as good as bottled if not better. I live in a small town so my water is hard and taste like metal 😅
I feel like I need to make a point here. A lot of these items we” don’t need” fall under the category of assistive technology. The pan scrubber may seem pointless to normal people but for those with a disability they can be lifesavers. For example…I recently suffered extreme arm/ hand weakness in my dominant arm where I couldn’t even lift a bag of groceries. I could not scrub my dishes as I had zero arm strength and would have totally bought that scrubber if I knew about it . The same with the self mixing cup…for those with essential tremors and Parkinson’s disease who end up with a giant mess and a tipped over cup when trying to stir …that again would be a game changer for them. Any assistive technology actually helps those with a disability live more independent lives.
I would even go further to say that those who use them when they don’t need them are actually doing the disability sector a service. They are normalising the use of assistive technology in society so it doesn’t seem weird. Imagine someone with Parkinson’s in a cafe using their special mixing cup and them feeling embarrassed when everyone is looking at them and staring and wondering what the weird contraption is. Now imagine this same person and how they feel when they look over at the next table and see a bunch of normal 20 year olds also all using the cup just because it’s trendy. Suddenly the person with a disability feels more normalised and part of society. Think of the normalisation of fidget toys as another example.
So no …people may not NEED these things but if they want to use them you shouldn’t make a song and dance about it. Viewers are impressionable and the last thing you want is someone to watch a video like this and then see a person with an invisible disability using one of the devices and they start making fun of them for being lame and using something they “ don’t need”.
Seat blockers are useful because things fall in there and its annoying, but cut a god damn pool noodle
I really think that using all of those different skin care items will backfire in the future.
I love how angry you are and how correct you are. Immediately subscribed.
While some places do require water bottled because the water is that bad, if your having a hydration station, thats when you buy a purifier for your tap water. Or better yet, buy a fridge that dispenses water and ice. My family has both and they are a much better solution then bottled water if your going to have water every day.
yeah, my house has a well and we've filtered and reverse osmosis-ed the living shit out of our water. it's so worth it
true, I use tap water but before I moved out the water was very bad at my old house so I always had bottles water. Got a reusable bottle water and fill it whenever I want, I have one ice tray and that's all lol
I remember once there was like an arsenic leak in the water supply or something(I was a child so I don’t know the details, all I remember is we couldn’t drink the water) and my family had to get water elsewhere. We got those big blue water drum thingies and once a month we’d go up to the store and fill it. We’d then put it upside down in a contraption(like a water cooler but on the countertop) to fill our cups. It’d last our family of 6 for the month and we’d reuse the bottle. I think we actually had two. But yeah it’s possible to be sustainable while buying water.
Years ago (early 90’s) my grandparents lived in a area where the primary source of water was well water in the suburbs and they had to buy several water coolers through their home and bought cases of gallon water so tap water at grandmas wasn’t an option.
I'm a little late to this debate but do you know how utterly privileged someone has to be to buy an entire FRIDGE just because they want clean water when they could just buy a 40 pack of bottled water for a couple bucks? Not everyone has that kinda money, although that doesn't go for these watertok folks💀
Usually when people keep THAT much skincare in a DEDICATED ROOM it’s inventory for a business or shop but that’s on the next level of Sephora kid…
I work at Starbucks and each launch (Halloween, Holiday, Spring, summer) we have people who come in as soon as we open just to buy the new cups. Sometimes If we don’t have a certain cup they’re looking for, they will start yelling at us as if we had the ability to conjure one up. It’s just a cup….what is happening to this world
Hydration Station is such a goofy name i love it i am calling our tap hydration station
Done and done!
Done and done!
Done and done!
I don't want a hydration station but I do want a coffee/tea station. Not an obnoxious one, just a place away from the central part of the kitchen. The corner cabinet I have my stuff in is a weird corner.
I went to a daycamp that called the setup for filling your water bottle the hydration station
Honestly, people are absolutely insane. No wonder we go through so much plastic.
In defense of the self-stirring mug and the electric dish scrubber, they can be helpful for people with disabilities ;v;
On days when my arthritis is really bad, just holding a spoon, let alone trying to stir something a lot to ensure its well mixed is... not easy. Most days I'm fine and I wouldnt need one of those mugs, but the winter months tend to be pretty rough.
true! this is why i wish some products designed for the disabled for elderly should be advertized by such. soooo many people disregard the products as "garbage" because influencers are the ones promoting them
Usually there's not enough people buying for disability need so in order to make money on the product they have to market it to others. So other people buying it means the product stays available for those who need it. It sucks but that's one of the only reasons for a lot of disability aids.
The fact that I had my phone on my bathroom counter and I had this video blaring so I can tune in as I shower 😅 19:55
I can understand transferring to glass bottles. I do that sometimes. In my last place, we had a major mouse problem that was very hard to resolve, and in the meantime I transferred all of my food that was in plastic/cardboard to big and small glass jars to protect it. Also, my roommate was super strict about what could be on display, but he liked the look of my glass jars so I was allowed to have them in the uncovered shelving.
With that being said, you are absolutely right in comparing these obsessions with hoarding. It is ridiculously wasteful, no one person needs this many products. It’s like they just want to have their own personal store of skincare/whatever products in their home
I use containers because of mice here in the country too. Frankly, I'd rather if I could keep a black snake under the house. I can tell when one found a home there as the mice disappear. Plus, snakes don't cost me money.
It's so refreshing to hear someone screaming externally about all the things that make me scream internally
Some of the products I understand why they exist but I do realise most people who use them don't need them/don't use them correctly. For example, we eat a lot of granola cereal so I just got a resealable jar, and filled that up with 3 packs of our fav because the packaging is flimsy and rips easily making a mess all the time.
The electric scrubber thingy is for people who don't have the grip strength/hand coordination that washing dishes takes. It was actually one of the products we discussed during class (I'm studying to become a product design engineer) that it's not used by the people who it (most likely) got designed for.

oooh my gosh these take me back. somebody my dad knew once went to another country and bought a bunch of snacks and put them in one of those baskets. I really miss some of the snacks in them like the borrel nootjes. good times
Not to defend the watertok girlies, but a lot of places in the US don't have clean tap water that you can just drink. Of course you can do other things that are less wasteful like buy a water filter depending on the situation but just wanted to mention that, as someone who lives near the infamous Flint, MI
i was thinking the same thing like the girl that got her water from the carboy did nothing wrong😢
This. My family actually bought a water cooler that we just get refilled at the gas station whenever it gets low, it's a house of 10 and we have 2 of the plastic jugs which we fill at once. Lasts us a good few weeks and not that much money long term, when I get my own house I'll probably get one there too (just with one jug cuz y'know, not a house of 10 anymore)
Bottled water not good enough?, and like you said water filter
Most of our water is fine, Flint happened because of cheap politicians.
@@AshleyGrahamcracker-oq3pf Most of it being fine doesn't negate the people who are affected by the water that isn't fine, that's all
I suffer from some sort of hoarding disorder which had been passed down to me by my grandma... I've already had to give so much stuff either to charity or trash and i can't even fathom how someone makes buying more plastic their entire personality and "aesthetic"... That's just so foul and wasteful on so many different levels
Lmao I also have an icecube tray that’s snapped in half that I still use. I feel seen.
I’m so happy to see people calling influencers out for gross overconsumption. We need more of this energy👏
thank you! I used to have a consumerism problem but watching your videos has made me realize I don't need everything on the internet😃
So I will say this: people love collecting things. And collectors aren't thinking "oh, I NEED this item to live." They go "I like collecting these things and this just adds to it." Now, Stanley cup girlies that have four of the exact same cup... yeah that's insane. The Starbucks cup lady for me walks a bit of a fine line because on one end, yeah she wants the complete collection. But... oof that is a lot of cups that aren't organized. I've also come to find that unless you like collecting that thing, you don't understand. And you judge. I'm sure people would look at me like I'm deranged for spending $30+ on a kpop album but I enjoy it.
Also, "making a skyrim healing potion" LMAO
I don’t own Stanley cups but yeah, that’s me. I like buying random DVDs that I set aside to watch later even if I don’t have the time to watch them, let alone like the genre they’re in. I’ve got 23 DVD cases just gathering dust in the corner right now…
Exactly what im saying! I collect pin backed buttons. I have hundreds of them. I will never wear them all nor do they serve a specific purpose other than making me happy. I think if someone wants to collect something, people on the outside wont understand.
Yes! I collect various things like dvds books and figures but I keep it neat and organized. Yeah it may be a waste of money for some but not for me. It makes me happy. It’s my money and if I have extra I can do what I want with it. I don’t get having like 4 of the same item at all that’s crazy and absolutely unnecessary.
That what I was thinking it’s not exactly the same but I’m collecting every version of all the books in my fave series and some people think I’m weird for that sinse I don’t read the hardcover versions
off topic but hey stayyy
12:30 not all countries have drinkable tap water but its definitely so useless for all of this plastic waste
the blending cup isn't too bad depending on what you're blending, i have a mini blender here at home for mixing milk and chocolate because the chocolate never fully mixes when i'm using a spoon to mix it and i hate chunks in my drinks, but it was a cheap one too. I use it everyday so it's useful for me, you can even mix milk and ice cream if you're feeling a little mischevious
it ain't no hydration station, it's a mocktail bar
