Top 10 Worst Products of Modern Times

Let us take a close look at the interesting list Top 10 worst products which are generally considered as junk items.

1. Bottled Water

This product tops the list of worst products of modern times and it is an utter waste of resources and money. It banks on an extremely irritating marketing concept of being superior bottled water while we have easy access to safe tap water.

2. Sugared Cereals

What a stroke of genius of having to take something healthy and adding it with lots of sugar to become more appealing to the younger segment in the market.

5. Sleeping Pills for Children

The sleeping pill was introduced by Takeda Pharmaceuticals and has targeted pre-pubescent and pubescent individuals. They were able to devise a work around to US marketing laws in promoting the product without mentioning that there has been no test that was conducted to determine the effect of this product on children.

Instead of buying these incredibly expensive products, you are better off with an ample rest and healthy eating habits. You can get relief with a concoction made out of vinegar, honey and beaten egg white.

8. Diet Products

There are a lot of diet products available in the market that can take any position in the spectrum in terms of safety features. There are those that are extremely safe while there are also products that are disturbingly harmful to our health.
