Another Overused Marketing Term: "Premium" Login/Join 
Get my pies

"Premium"
Roll Eyes

A loaf of plain-jane potato bread we have is labeled that. It's FAR from "premium", in fact it's not really very good period. I'm so sick of seeing EVERYTHING labeled as "premium" when it just isn't, it's so overused IMO it's lost all its meaning anymore.

Anyone else see this?

I prefer substandard unimproved old and regular in the products I buy. I Like generic beer and generic drugs.

"Premium" is expensive gas or the money you send to your insurance company.

"New and improved", if you liked it before, you won't anymore.

In the airline world, "premium" means paying a premium price for services and amenities that used to be free! Taking a cue from Coca-Cola, they should call it "classic" instead.

tell me about it. I just bought an oil filter. Why is it rated at 15k mi. Do they anticipate me skipping the filter on my next synthetic 7500 mi change? And that was the middle grade.

Some cars do only call for oil changes every 15k.

My old BMW held 11 quarts of full synthetic, and was only due for an oil change every 15k.

My insurance keeps asking me to pay my "premium."

I think I'd save some money if I could just pay a "regular" instead.

They might as well change words,when I was in the selling game they came out with the term heavy duty.
Was no difference in the motor and transmission,just the cost of the product line.
