Things that are rubbish but should really be good

Good call! How about those "Economy" hot air hand driers in s***e pub lavatories that simply don't work?

Even the dyson ones arent that good either.
You dont see many of those roller towel driers anymore do you, at least you could dry your hands properly, except when the last bit was left dangling and it was soaking wet!

I remember when I was small being warned that these were very dangerous as you could get HANGED TO DETH by them. I still approach them with caution.

Pub lavatories in general. The pub may have been redecorated to within an inch of it's life to be the perfect quaffing location, but when one feels the urge to repay what one has quaffed, you're deposited in Down Street tube station...

Fruit flavoured tea.
They never live up to the hype, and are always too weak and watery.

Precisely how much hype is involved in the promotion of fruit flavoured tea?
