What is overconsumption? Overconsumption is the excessive and unnecessary consumption of usually items you don’t really need. Examples include Labubus, Stanley cups, too much skincare, other brand items. Like is all this really necessary?
For example at first I thought labubus were okay, like sure they look a little weird but at the end of the day it was just like a toy or figurine. But it’s when an item becomes so popular it’s in demand and at first you’re like “Ok people like this toy.” But then it got to the point where it was like “why are we pretending to have a doll made out of gold just to get more views. Another example, Stanley Cups.Like sure they look nice and apparently are aesthetic, but are they really necessary like a cup that’s that big wouldn’t fit in a side backpack pocket. Plus I feel that it’s kinda bulky and awkward to hold in your hand. Like the only good thing about it is that it holds a lot of water but it’s just a straw and it spills everywhere, I want to state that I am aware you can buy straw covers but they barely do anything.
