The effect when something looks really modest and is cheap or widespread, but in
reality performs better than mor eexpensive counterparts. Coined after the famous Blista Compact car in
GTA game series, that became widely known in the gaming community for looking really cheap and appearing everywhere on the map, but turning out to be one of the best car in-game, with incredible handling and speed-to-acceleration
ratio.
It's also true with people who look
shy but turn out awesome when you get a chance to know them better.
-I had a blista effect visiting these cheap Decathlon stores - the things perform much better than you would expect from
something that cheep and looking so... cheap.
-Anna
felt a blista effect after talking to Josh - he looked homely, but
turned out to be an awesome guy.
