Buy cheap, buy twice

When you see two identical products in the shop, one is expensive but made by a well known company and the other is by a brand you've never heard of but is considerably cheaper!

It comes from the fact that most cheap knocks are of poor quality and as a result it'll probably break shortly after buying meaning you'll have to buy another one. Usually when you add the price for the first and the replacement item together, it would've been cheaper to buy the better branded item in the first place.
Steve: Oh my god dude, I bought a new TV three months ago and it's already broken!

Peter: Bugger, that sucks, I'm surprised that Sony TV broke so quickly.

Steve: No, I changed my mind and didn't get the Sony. I found this Gujarati Electronics one which was a lot cheaper so I got that instead!

Peter: Gujarati Electronics? Never heard of them! You know what they say mate, buy cheap, buy twice! Shoulda stuck with the Sony!

Buy your mom an iPhone

Stop trying to draw attention to the real underlying problem and start helping to perpetuate it instead.

When asked about the problem of texting green/blue bubbles in the US, Apple CEO Tim Cook told a reporter to "buy your mom an iPhone" instead of actually addressing the problem that Apple's lack of RCS was causing.
I hate driving, but I don't feel safe riding my bike next to all those enormous cars. Whenever I bring it up though, all the car-brains just tell me "buy your mom an iPhone".
