Are there any common household items or products that you think are designed incredibly poorly? (sh.itjust.works)

For example, I'm incredibly confused about how you're supposedly to measure liquid laundry detergent with the cap. At least the kind that I have sits on it's side, so if you measure it with the cap it just leaks everywhere and makes a mess.

Or at my parents house they have a bag of captain crunch berries that has a new design, where instead of zipping along the top of the bag like normal, it has a zipper in the front slightly beneath the top. That way when you poor it you can't see what you're doing cuz the bag is in the way. Like what the heck who's idea was that?

@bpt11 Soda and beer cans. There's always a little bit left.

Kitchen sinks. Instead of doing the dishes they just let them accumulate!
