mass consumption

1) To use up goods or services, either by the consumers or by the companies that produce the goods or services. Thus it leads to waste and reduction of valuable resources. For the consumer, it can lead to stress, debt, obesity, waste, lack of space, etc.
2) The #1 thing that got us (America) into the economic mess that we are in right now. We only got ourselves to blame in this one.

Wow, it's the new $12,000 diamond iPod case! I must get it, even though I'm two months behind my four-bedroom home, about to lose my Lexus SUV, and have already maxed out three of my credit cards! Mass consumption...

Ideal Boba Consumption Time

The ideal boba consumption time is an artful window, typically between the hours of 12 and 3. However, boba is best consumed within one to three hours after eating a meal, so times may vary based on culture and personal scheduling.

Consumptionism

An ideology, or system of beliefs, that prioritizes consumption and spending above all else. Most Americans practice this, while their credit lender encourage it.

Jane: Where did Stacy get those new shoes? And the purse? I thought she said her credit card was maxed out.
Jessica: Oh, it is. But she's consumptionist--you know, she believes in consumptionism...so she opened another credit card. I think that's her tenth one now.
