The Letdown List: Products That Didn't Deliver as Promised
6. Punching Bag
Price: $20*
Produced By: A Chinese Business
Acquired From: A Chinese Online Store
Boxing is often celebrated as a fantastic form of exercise and stress relief. However, one customer found himself more stressed than relieved due to the quality of his punching bag. After purchasing the bag for $20 from a Chinese online store, he discovered that it was not up to par; it burst when he struck it too forcefully.
What exactly was inside the punching bag? Upon inspection, it turned out to be filled with an assortment of items, including fragments of fabric—likely remnants from the production floor—and even bra cups. Typically, punching bags are designed to be filled with materials like rags, sand, or grains, and sometimes air or water. However, they must also be durable enough to withstand repeated strikes.
