I've not seen that myself. I assume it's someones attempt to refresh the prizes and they did a shit job...

No politics please. Don't be a dick.
Back of the lorry refresh.
Quite possibly 😂
Some people are so poor that buying a new toaster is a big deal.
You're just not that familiar with that world.
So could you play these gambling machines and get a toaster cheaper than Argos?
You are applying rationality to this. It's a form of gambling, which is never rational.
I think the point is that the new toaster at the grocery store costs a few bucks whereas to get the toaster with arcade tickets it costs SIGNIFICANTLY more cash for the toaster. I think it’s less poor folks and more just random crappy overpriced prizes
This Kiosk had lots of decent toys on the shelf (expensive tickets wise), kids being the target audience that made sense to me. The toaster, blender, kettle, bar heater etc stuck out as odd as I could not figure out the target audience.
I don't remember them being cheap brands. They were the sort of things you could buy from a supermarket - branded.
I get the point, but think of people buying scratch tickets. It's a similar dynamic.
