Pre-planned obsolescence is disgusting and generates pointless waste




This jug with its water filter is now useless to me, the supermarket that sells it (I won't mention their name, to be honest, it doesn't matter they're all the same) now stocks a different model which from what I can see offers absolutely no improvement. NOTHING. It's only a f***ing water filter! How much better can it get?

So why change the shape of the filter then? There's no reason of course. The answer is so I now have to go buy not only the spare filters which would cost £3.00, but also a new jug that will fit the new shape of filters, which in total costs £15.00. 
Why do I have to throw away this jug, which is perfectly fit for use? Another useless piece of shit for the landfill for no other reason other that maxing up profit.

It is obscene and it makes me want to throw up.
