What items AREN'T better than they used to be?

There is absolutely an abundance of cheap crap options out there but almost everything has a much better equivalent available today.

What? Like all appliances break easier and are un-repairable while only performing the same or marginally better than their old counterparts.

Also clothes are way less hardy (though I concede they are cheaper, often softer and don't bleed in the washer as much) I don't know that I'd call them better.

The better options are also much more expensive, though.
The normal priced options are worse than they used to be.
