“….champagne, lobsters, anal sex, and picnics”
Apart from one of these indulgences, I would agree with Christopher Hitchens that indeed these objects and activities are overrated, perhaps not the “top four” as he suggests but none the less high up that long list. Stretch Limousines, foot spas, wedding dresses and bottled water would have to near the top of that rarefied list too.
It’s perhaps harder than one would think to find something which is popular but also has the faint scent of disappointment - as by definition something popular must obviously must also have genuine worth…?
I’ll finish this attempted aphoristic post with a few under rated things of life, give them a chance and think you’ll agree they’re probably undervalued; pissing in the shower, honey and butter, crisp morning sunrise and of course, ferrets.
