Showerthought: I wasted $80 on a 'competition-grade' rib rub that tasted like salty sawdust

Honestly, after three cooks, I just threw the whole container out and went back to my simple salt, pepper, and garlic mix, so has anyone else had a total fail with a fancy rub they were hyped for?

It's the same with those fancy toothpastes that promise miracles (they just taste weird and cost too much).

Ugh, the charcoal ones are the worst.

My sister bought that fancy charcoal paste once, tasted like licking an ashtray.

That charcoal paste stuff is the worst... tried it once and felt like licking a fireplace.
