Things you accidentally buy when drunk which then, actually, turn out to be ok

I had this in a charity shop yesterday.

I just thought they were trainers! 😆🤦‍♂️
They are BTWIN.
I am also sure the tag description is wrong (white/grey).

Please excuse the mess in the background:

Do you go into charity shops while drunk? That may be a bit unfair on the staff

I was actually offered camels for a swap when we were in Egypt.
It was no contest as the camel was quite ugly.

What did you name the camel in the end?

A Lucky Goldstar TV/video combo. Saw it in the window, on the way back from a liquid lunch at my local, never heard of Lucky Goldstar but it looked exactly like a Sony unit I'd been sort of thinking about, but at £149.99, something like a hundred quid less. I lurched in and quizzed the young Asian guy behind the counter who confirmed that it was indeed a shameless copy, made by this Korean mob who were muscling into the market on price, with gear that was actually rocksolid. Wobbled back to my shared-house room with it in a big cardboard box - the first of many addresses, since it worked flawlessly for something like 15 years. LG now, of course.

PS Thinking about it, it wasn't actually accidental - I did make a conscious decision to buy it. But I was very drunk - does that help?

I remember the brand Lucky Goldstar from around late 80s, but what I never realised until recently is that they became a huge electrical brand we should all know today...

LG.
