Reminds me of stupid me after I received a ginormous family inheritance I went through a phase of buying every stupid little thing that I would've never bought before. It was sometime around the implosion of the John McAfee empire debacle I was vaguely aware that something was going awry with him & the company but I was lost in my own little world buying post-it notes at a Staples store.

At the checkout counter the employee brought my attention to a small display of heavily discounted McAfee antivirus software something-something for only $5 and all my conscious brain knew at the time was

"Wow, didn't that used to cost $40-$75? and McAfee has been in the news lately. I have no idea what's going on but yes I will pay $5 for this thing." ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ

It was completely useless and I doubt I ever took it out of the package before eventually throwing it away.
