Body]:
In the age of the Internet, online shopping has become an indispensable part of our lives. However, with the boom of online shopping, it has also given rise to some consumer traps specifically aimed at Chinese people, which are hidden behind convenient virtual shopping, waiting for imprudent consumers at all times. Through clever publicity and live broadcast marketing, some businesses make people curious under the banner of solving the "pain points" of life, but they end up falling into the trap they set.
IQ Tax Trap 1: Short Propaganda Without Nail Stickers.
The first pitfall is the no-nail sticker. In a fast-paced life, many people are reluctant to nail nails in the wall, so nail-free stickers have become an attractive option. Merchants advertise that nail-free stickers can hang decorative paintings, fix towel racks and shoe racks, and seem practical. However, many consumers find that the nail-free stickers are easy to fall off soon after purchase, especially in humid environments, and safety is a concern. While children are playing in the room, the mural suddenly falls down, which can lead to injury. Therefore, many people who have purchased the nail-free sticker have said that they will not buy it again, it is not practical at all.
IQ Tax Trap 2: The multi-functional falsity of wiper brooms.
The second trap is a wiper broom. Although robot vacuums have become popular, there are still people who like to clean by themselves. Merchants saw the opportunity to launch wiper brooms, claiming to be able to clean floors, mop toilet water stains, wipe glass and mirrors, and the versatility seems tempting. However, after actual use, the cleaning effect of the wiper broom is average, and it will also make a screeching sound, damage the ground, and the maintenance cost can even buy several sweeping robots. This product has become an obvious IQ tax.
IQ Tax Trap 3: The beautifying lie of descaling bubbles.
The third pitfall is the descaling bubble. It can often be seen on social ** to promote it, claiming that it can quickly dissolve all kinds of dirt. However, in reality it is just a mixture of various detergent factors, and the cleaning effect is nowhere near as advertised. In order to improve the user experience, some products add pungent spices, which may lead to a decrease in indoor air quality and affect health after long-term use.
IQ tax trap 4: The disparity in the quality of latex pillows.
The fourth trap is the latex pillow. Although natural latex is an environmentally friendly material, the production process of latex pillows requires the use of chemical additives, which have potential effects on both the human body and the environment. Moreover, there are many brands in the latex pillow market, and the quality is uneven, and it is difficult for consumers to judge the advantages and disadvantages of latex pillows. Some inferior latex pillows may have problems such as odor, fading, and degumming, which may cause harm to human health when used for a long time. Therefore, when buying latex pillows, it is crucial to choose a regular brand, and coveting cheap may pay a higher price.
IQ Tax Trap 5: Limitations of Mosquito Killer Lamps.
The fifth trap is the mosquito killer lamp. It is important to know that the effectiveness of mosquito killer lamps is affected by a variety of factors, including environment, temperature and humidity. In the case of suitable light and moderate temperature, the mosquito control effect may be obvious, but in the environment with strong light and low humidity, the effect will be greatly reduced. In addition, it has a limited range of application, it is difficult to achieve large-scale mosquito repellency, and the cost of electricity is high. Some mosquito killer lamps have large openings in mosquito storage boxes, which can easily be dangerous for children to touch by mistake.
IQ Tax Trap 6: The Energy Saving Falsehood of Gas Windproof Gathering Hood.
The sixth trap is the gas windproof fire cover. Merchants advertise that it can save gas bills and improve safety, which has attracted many consumers. However, some products have poor fire performance and are prone to fire accidents. Long-term use may damage gas pipelines, stoves and other equipment, and even affect the normal operation of the gas system. The most disappointing thing is that it is not energy-efficient at all, because the combustion is not sufficient, but it increases the gas consumption.
Consume. In addition, the service life is also very short, and it is prone to problems such as material aging and deformation, which has become an obvious IQ tax.
IQ Tax Trap 7: The Inefficiency of Mini Sewing Machines.
The seventh trap is the mini sewing machine. Merchants advertise that it can easily sew all kinds of clothing, but after actually using it, many people find it difficult to use and do not sew well. Some people even experience thread misalignment when using it, and the sewn garment is not strong enough.
IQ Tax Trap 8: The Beautification Fantasy of Bowl Lotus.
The last trap is the bowl lotus, which is beautified for interior decoration, but in fact the seeds are of poor quality and difficult to grow. Even if it is successfully fed, its leaves are small and sparse, far less beautiful than advertised. As a result, many people are disappointed after buying it, believing that it is a representative of the IQ tax.
