That's an extreme position.
Consoomers / Consoomer Culture - Because if it has a recogniseable brand on it, I’d buy it!

It’s literally just a logo slapped on a normal burger and fries with some random soda.
They didn’t even bother to use a cola/sarsaparilla for the drink (let alone make a rocket-shaped bottle) or use a food common in the games like Salisbury Steak, Twinkies, Frosted Flakes, or Spam.

I stumbled upon this trash can collector today. In the newest videos he is proudly talking about his collection of mini trash bins.

I actually love these strange windows into someone's autistic interest. Never thought there would be someone out there collecting tiny garbage bins. Considering the depths people go to consoom these days, this seems almost harmless by comparison.

That comment sounds fake to me. I believe that some autist may have a collection of 320 mini trash cans, but the way it was written sounds like a troll.

I've seen a lot of this kind of shit now. basically, wanting "adult" versions of childhood things. like an adult scholastic book fair (book fair with booze or weed), wanting to kid foods but for adults (sunny D with booze). I get wanting something you enjoyed as a child and, maybe, buying it to make yourself feel good. however, "adulting" it up because the child like nature of it doesn't suit you anymore is really stupid

I wouldn't call something like this "consoomerism" as it's less a "just get excited for next product" like funko shit and more gives off vibes of that infamous weird dude who collected street lamps but it's desktop garbage cans instead. Just some really weirdly specific collection of some mundane shit nobody thinks too much about. Something I can think that's kinda similar to this on a closer to but not quite identical to consoomer front are the people that collect Boxes shit comes in rather than the things inside themselves because "next product" means "next package".I stumbled upon this trash can collector today.

Still fits the thread though with "a bunch of weird/functionally useless stuff in a single spot".

What's up with Croc Pins? Been seeing a ton of them around here. Basically it's like charm bracelets for men and instead of your wrist you put them on your Crocs.

Those have been around for about as long as Crocs have. A lot of weird knockoff ones of various pop culture iconography exist. A few years ago a relative got a big lot of some for themselves and gave me like a random handfull despite me not wearing/having crocs and one of them was Shrek smoking a blunt I shit you not.

My littlest son got one as a prize at some school event, a Minecraft zombie? Anyway he's been sheltered from nerd shit and not knowing what it was thought it was weird and didn't mind me giving it away.
The amount of utter garbage I have to filter from my children is insane. They aren't miserable without it, half because our community has a lot of granola kind of people so it isn't as ubiquitous. But when we get to see my corn-fed cousins, Jesus, they have every IP imaginable on Crocs, clothes, even lollipop spinners you can buy at gas stations. Their kids tongues are perpetually blue because they are always eating dyed "fun foods." They're really nice kids so I can't complain otherwise, it's just over the years the churning of plastic junk into and out of their household must be insane. Paw Patrol to PJ Masks to Angry Birds to Minecraft to Marvel to who knows what's next.

Crocs are the most disgusting and stupid shoes in the world. I wore them once and let me tell you, these overpriced plastic foam flip flops are trash from day one they are made. They are not breathable, your feet stink and you can get blisters if you wear them too long. They are flip flops so they are loose on your feet and you will trip if you do not step carefully. Try running in them. Wearing them is tiresome, and they are bland as hell. And because they have that fixed strap on the back you cannot adjust them to fit your foot tight. If you want good breathable shoes buy sandals, whatever cheap shit with velcro strips you pick is guaranteed to be much better than that crap. If you fear you will hurt your toes there are sandals with covered toes too.
Whoever came up with the marketing scheme that these crappy plastic flip flops let you express your true self is an evil genius.

Sounds more like an A&N boast on here than a consoomer.

This guy just really loves garbage trucks and trash bins. His whole channel of 8 years is basically just videos of different garbage trucks emptying trash bins on garbage day, reviews of various garbage bins both real and toys, and garbage truck toy reviews. His dedication to his autistic interest is actually kind of wholesome imo.

If you consider crocks to be modern wooden clogs they sort of make sense. Cheap shoes for the poor working class. Not particularly comfortable or made for marching, but keeps your feet off the factory floor/out of the muck (butchers high clogs always make me Chuckle, just put some extentions on there so you don't stand in the guts Jim)
You should wear thick socks with them to keep warm, provide comfort, prevent blisters
I also like the guy that collects toilets, and has a couple dozen plumbed up at any time, but mostly vintage, I do t think he's eagerly awaiting new toilet to consume

That trashcan guy is wholesome autist. It makes me happy when i see these people. I think his father is in the waste industry and was giving him these mini trashcans from the trade shows, and thats how the kid found his little corner of the world to enjoy.
That sounds reasonable, but now you add the Brand and they are not cheap anymore.

I remember thinking Crocs were retarded like 20 years ago and me and my friends filed them in the same category as Abercrombie and Fitch and their 200 dollar (in 2000s money no less) pre-ripped jeans you bought because of the Abercrombie logo. I'm genuinely surprised they still make them these days given they seemed like a total fad back then that would die out in a few years. Like you'd think they'd be some clothing item everyone laughs out now that says "00s" like bellbottoms say 70s.

Y2K shit is popular now, more than it ever even was in the 2000s. Kids are wearing a hybrid of early 00s nu-metal, with big, baggy clothes and chains and late 00s emo stuff without the skinny jeans. They're blending negro (FUBU, South Pole) brands with white (Jnco, Tripp) brands. Pretty much as long as it's baggy it's good to go.
