Schlock

Schlock is when a product's quality is poor because of the high demand for the product. Therefore, when a large quantity of product is being made, it’s difficult for the value to be consistent. These terms change the way I view products because I am more aware of the quality of the items. I do not mind paying more money for something as long as the value is good. Buying a product and then having it break within a few weeks is not worth the trouble. Other examples of Schlock items are on PinterestPlastic forks, spoons and knives are cheaply made and produced in large masses.Tabloid magazines are made on inexpensive paper and read all around the world.
