If you think that's bad, there are people that don't vaccinate their kids on the intended schedule and others that demand antibiotics for viral infections. There are others that take new, $30k+ cars and use them to Uber not taking depreciation on their vehicle into account.
This is may be easy to laugh at, but there are plenty of things that are much more stupid that people regularly do.
edit: fine, downvote me. But if you actually read the article and look at the the reaction of people, you'd think that was in the top 100 stupid things that you could name off the top of your head. The fact that I'm even being downvoted as controversial for mentioning vaccines/antiobitic overprescription/unprofitable gig economy participation is much closer to a "fall of Rome" type behavior than a stupid item on the shelf at a grocery store.
edit 2: here's a free example of much stupider behavior we take for granted: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-autos-trucks-texas/hu... (grossly oversized, inefficient trucks that causing poor strategic moves at US automakers as a result of trade protections for a specific class of vehicles... and I have nothing against pickup trucks, but these $70k luxury cars are the truck equivalent of $1k air jordans)
