I can see the ad campaign now - “Never worry about pairing your wines and meats again!”.
Could you use it as a cooking wine for a beef dish?

Let me clarify: this didn’t taste like some sort of alright tasting raw meat-- a fancy steak or what have you. It had the aftertaste of cheap, old, undercooked ground beef. Trust me, you don’t want that in anything.
Blow jobs

meanwhile, I just wanted to say Why Not? I love the idea of
that sounds most excellent. 
Fish. And… those ginormous plastic barrels of cheese puffs.
Tools of any type. Guaranteed to break on first use.
Lots of my equipment, including those box fans, specifically forbids the use of rechargeables. I don’t know enough about electricity type things to know if they’re serious and I could damage/inflame something, or if they own the non-recharageable battery companies. 
Really? I haven’t run across that yet. The voltage is slightly different between rechargeables and regular alkaline batteries, but I can’t imagine that would make something as simple as a fan any difference at all. I could see that possibly being an issue with sensitive electronics, but most items that sensitive usually have their own proprietary rechargeable batteries anyway.
Don’t count on it. Billions of dollars of counterfeit products are sold in the US every year, and many of them make their way to dollar store shelves.
No food. No personal products. I buy batteries and household junk at dollar stores. Great place for hangers, plastic pitchers, cheap glassware, etc.
I’d be interested in verified examples/cites, if you’ve got any.
I don’t have anything current on hand but a few Google searches will turn up high-level (blog and mass market article) examples to start with. I’ll do my best to follow up with some specific cites from regulatory and enforcement bodies, but I need to get to a block of free time to do so. Remind me if you don’t see anything in the next day or so.
I got a dental tool at one. It was pretty good.
Here’s one:
I won’t have time in the short term to make a convincing case, but it’s not hard to establish that a lot of counterfeit grooming and personal hygiene products are imported, sold and seized here and that it tends to be small and discount merchants that usually sell them. (They are sold by traveling jobbers at steep discounts.) I know that any number of bad products have been found in dollar store inventories and they would seem to be prime locations for deep-discount, outdated-packaging and otherwise salvage-level goods to end up.
I know I’ve seen more than a few suspicious-looking products with bond-paper labels, faded color bottles, poor molding, etc.
I wouldn’t buy anything that goes in me or on me (or near me - laundry, dish soap, etc.) from a flea market, eBay seller, indie discount store or dollar store. The risk is real, higher than it should be and saving a few bucks is just not worth it.
Any knockoff product. You know, Penesamig batteries instead of Panasonic, or Gilnghey razors instead of Gillette. I figure, if they have to masquerade as a well-known brand to sell anything, they can’t be very good.
I wouldn’t buy anything like radios, CD/DVD players, cellphones, etc.
I’d say quite a few of the shower gels, body sprays, and lotions made in China. They look like crap and have weird scents.
The canned foods at these places come from weird places-like China, Pakistan, India. I once bought a can of Chinese bamboo shoots-and my American can opener could not open it! (The sealing seam had different dimensions than American cans).
In general, its stuff that nobody else can sell-or old stock from bankrupt distributors. Consume at your own risk.
I wonder when the canned horsemeat from Europe will wind up in these places?
