Coke.
It became a pretty unhealthy addiction.
And technically it's not technological, but neither is garbage and that is a household word.

Since losing 150+in 2012
Hot Pockets and Soda are the 2 main things I use to buy alll the time...I haven't had either ONCE since then. Im open to the idea i'll have a soda again one day, but If I never eat a hot pocket ever again in my life I will be fine.
Also same with lean cuisine and other stuff.
Also I finally put away the vcr player after getting the wwe network, oh I have alot of wrestling tapes, but they take up so much room, so yea its been nice having space again, especially since I bought a ps4.

I think the last CD I bought was American Idiot, about a decade ago.
Twitter was probably the dagger for buying newspapers for me. Nevermind the fact their newsstand prices have skyrocketed while actual size (as well as their staff) decreased.

Music magazines, I used to buy Kerrang!, NME & Q magazine pretty regularly. Only magazine I seem to get now is Powerslam which is dead now. Only time I buy magazines now is if I'm going away somewhere.

Toilet paper. Ever since my wife bought a toilet brush. They take a little getting used to, but once you've built up a callus its all good. How does a toilet brush work? Does everyone who uses your toilet share the same one? |

Add me to the CD list. I honestly can't remember the last CD I bought. Now a days I listen to an Album on Spotify, If I like it I will buy it off ITunes and it goes straight onto my Ipod. I remember when I use to carry around a huge wallet of CD's and my Car was full of CD cases Not anymore  |

The only things I constantly buy these days are boots (I wear out boots a ton), waistcoats, guitar strings/finger picks, and both physical & digital music and tabs/sheet music. I've come to terms with moving around too much to ever want to have anything that never gets used so yeah, I avoid buying new consoles, I tend to trade video games (from a huge archive) with friends when I want to see new games that aren't involved in PC digital bundles, I fix musical instruments I pick up fifth hand from garage sales or similar things, and...yeah, I like living out of overnight bags and suitcases and renting single rooms out (cheaper too). Possessions bore me for the most part. I do miss having walls with tons of film/gig posters though, I long for the days of picking up 5 HUGE posters for £10/$25. which brings up a new can of worms. Many major artists despise Spotify and would rather their music be pirated instead (Spotify does not pay them very well) as for the topic, VHS tapes. I have read this as well. What da beef with spotify? You need over a few thousands listens per week to see any noticeable profits. As in "any impact whatsoever" profits, but you need to be on there in order to have your name out or risk people straight up never listening/going to your gigs. |

Single issue comic books. (floppies is the term?) They are just simply not worth the money. Trades maybe stupidly expensive at times but you get your moneys worth out of them.

I don't buy many video games anymore. Games nowadays are really too complex and generally time-involving for my enjoyment, as I grew up loving stuff like Mortal Kombat, Tony Hawk, NBA Jam, Twisted Metal, quick and simple platformers, etc. I will occasionally buy a game, but it's just very overwhelming for me. That said, when I do buy a game, I usually play the hell out of it. I am nearing 10,000 hours on Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3. It blows my mind that magazines are still a thing. I guess that enough people are still buying them, but why? As someone who still buys them, there are tons of upsides. First off, you are more likely to be exposed to something you will normally avoid clicking when online. Online, they curate the articles and then you click what you want. In print, you can skip pages, but you're much more likely to stay going through a magazine in order to get the whole experience. You learn way more that way, no matter what the subject is, because I doubt most readers click through everything on any major site. Our lives are now curated by Facebook feeds, which are mostly filled with bullshit unless you have friends who share truly fascinating things. Also, the writing feels of a higher quality because the writers are generally getting paid a LOT more (in 2014, the majority of non-fiction writers are making peanuts--especially online), and the layout/design tends to be a lot more appealing. |

DVDs. When I can get a BluRay for less than 10% extra, why go with inferior picture quality?

Last CD I can recall buying was best of Motorhead in 2007. I genuinely tend to buy games, DVDs, and books when they go on sale really cheap

WHAT THE f***!? Who uses, let alone, SHARES a toilet brush with others to wipe their ass? This is on the same level of people who don't flush toilet paper.  |

I haven't bought a CD in over a decade.
I'm all about owning physical copies of things, but between Spotify, Pandora and other such free, legal avenues, I can't see myself ever spending one cent on music again.

I was going to say soda(exceptions being the occasional Baja Blast and Dr. Pepper), CDs and DVDs(it's all about DAT BLU)...
But then I passed that toilet brush post and now I feel like I slipped into some bizarre dimension.
