Get the Skem mug.Skem (noun / verb)
A Skem is when you buy into something that feels legit at the time — but deep down, you kinda know you just paid for the vibe.
It’s not a scam. You still got something. Just not what you hoped. Or maybe exactly what you deserved.
Think overpriced coffee that’s all foam, $50 “healing” bracelets, courses with recycled Google info, or a product wrapped in 10/10 branding but 3/10 value.
You got Skemmed. But you’re not even mad. It’s lowkey an experience.
