To say something that isn't necessarily obvious: cruise ships. These lumbering behemoths that cruise lines have been building don't really lead to a more enjoyable experience for passengers: they're overcrowded, impersonal and the desperation to pack in more and more "activities" actually can make a vacation more stressful. Plus, they are environmental disasters.Small ships tend to offer a much better experience: better service, better food, better itineraries, and an overall more relaxed, more personal time.-u/Boris_Godunov
7.
Personal care products. Better quality products tend to be more concentrated or have less filler ingredients, so you need less product for the same results. I notice this with moisturizer especially.-u/smallmammalconcierge
