In a funny thread, homeowners reveal the top middle-class items that they have – from expensive pet supplies to extravagant kitchen equipment.
Reddit’s thread started when a British user asked for Reddit users’ suggestions on the most common item in the home.
The hilarious answers included a set of golf clubs for children, a Peleton exercise bike worth around £1,500 that’s being used as a clothes horse, and several varieties of obscure cooking equipment.
One London-based user admitted having a Le Creuset bowl for their cat, worth around £25, while another user, from Sussex, owns a fridge just for her skincare products.
British homeowners have revealed the most middle-class items they own in a hilarious thread – including a cat bowl from luxury French cookware brand Le Creuset
Among the list is a giant cheese grater from Alessi worth around £80 and a Peloton bike worth upwards of £1500 which the user said they were using as a ‘clothes horse’
The list also included champagne swords. One user in Britain said they were’super fun’, but cautioned that they shouldn’t be used outside, as the top of the bottle can ‘fly off with some force’.
A Plymouth-based user also admitted to having a lavish cat accessory, writing: ‘Our cat has a Tiffany cat bowl. Tiffany colors with the word “cat” in black on the front. I bought it for £100 in Heathrow when drunk!’
A Lancashire user said that it was a toss-up between the whippet and a few saddles brought home because they didn’t suit any of my horses.
One Southampton-based user admitted: ‘Celery salt. Unopened.
One person claimed that they had a champagne sword. Pictured, an example of a champagne sword from the California Champagne Saber Company worth £221.00
Other users said they had purchased falconry gloves (left, a glove from Purdey worth £195) and a Sous Vide machine (right, an Anova Precision Cooker £200 from Selfridges)
‘I was worried the quails’ eggs I ordered from Ocado wouldn’t come with any, so I ordered a separate jar of it. Happily, they did include a little sachet, so I didn’t need to open the full jar.’
A user from York admitted to having various niche cooking utensils, but said the most middle class is his electric polenta cooker he had imported from Italy.
According to the user, it is a big copper pan that has a motorised stirrer. This allows you to make polenta quickly and easily without needing to stand stirring.
Another purchased a Sous vide machine, a machine which keeps water at a temperature to cook vacuum-sealed meat in a temperature-controlled water bath, specifically for sirloin steak.
A user confessed to having a falconry gloves and another owner of a cat said that they have a fountain with water for their pet.
Reddit’s thread was created by a British user. He asked users all over the country for their most extravagant items.
The hilarious answers included a set of gold clubs for children, a Peleton exercise bike worth around £1,500 being used as a clothes horse and several varieties of obscure cooking equipment
One Brit admitted to having a wine fridge, glasses for different types of grape and an £80 Alessi cheese grater ‘which is barely used.’
Another user said that the cat flap was very expensive. “It is a microchip cat flap, and comes with an application so that we can track our cats’ movements.
“We can view all kinds of graphs that show how much time each cat spent outdoors each day!”
One user from the UK said that they also use Grapefruit spoons. These spoons are excellent and I would highly recommend them to use for other things, such as corner yoghurts or olives.
