Re:Your Backpack Got Worse on Purpose on Wednesday April 15, 2026 @12:45PM (#47781690)
Seven years ago I bought a Jansport backpack for 50 usd, for daily use. After a year, its zipper broke. Shipping it to Jansport required to pay 15 usd for shipping. So instead, I bought in Walmart a generic backpack for 15 usd, that I still use seven years later. Never bought Jansport again.
